Hate to break it to you, but even when they do sleep, you’ll be all caught up with worry if they’re breathing that you’ll stare at the monitor for hours and hold it up to your ear to hear the sound of their breath.

I’m a mom to an almost 10 month old as well. We slept beautifully from about 4 months until 9 months but the last few weeks have been utter hell. Between teething, crawling, pulling up and separation anxiety, he’s been waking up between 1 and 4 times every single night. My husband and I both work 40-50 hours a week…

Damn, I feel old reading this shit.

I once went to a taping of her show in NYC and got to sit in the front row. Easily third best day of my life behind the birth of my son and my wedding day.

The only thing this video makes me is hungry for a turkey club sandwich.

Orange is my sister’s favorite. We must have good taste in our family.

What the fuck is a baby naming party? Are we letting other people name our babies now? It’s enough that they also have to be involved in the gender reveal? How about being present at the birth too?

Yes, thank you for bringing this up. My dear friend recently miscarried at 7 months. It was (and still is) heartbreaking and she didn’t even have a gender reveal or a baby shower. Imagine having a ton of photos and documentation of all that and then going through something so horrible.

Boston nods in agreement. So glad our City shut that shit down from the beginning.

I hate gender reveal parties for a multitude of reasons, especially for perpetuating the myth that pink =girl and blue = boy. My sons’s favorite color is currently purple. And mine is yellow. Why do we have to assign colors to fucking genders. It’s so irritating!

Actually, tomato plant flowers have both male and female organs. They are self pollinating!

I’m definitely not drinking enough water and I also drink way too much soda. I have a serious coca cola addiction. The only way I’ve been able to cut back is to buy the shorty cans, but even then, I still probably drink at least one of those a day. I went cold turkey for a few months, but fell off (on?) the wagon.

yeah, he was (and still is) a loud one. :)

haha, I literally have an almost exact picture. congrats on the bebe.

We have shitty insurance and a $4,000 deductible. So, knowing we’d have to pay that much out of pocket, we opened up a credit card with a 50,000 miles sign up bonus if we spent $4,000 in the first 3 months and at least got a couple round trip tickets out of the deal. Oh, and we got a baby. Hooray! :)

Will watch. I’ll take a cat doing fouette turns any day of the week.

I’ve had two babies and my water broke both times. The second time, it was a huge gush, JUST like the movies. So, it does happen.

I was one of those lucky (?) mamas that had a double water break. My water broke once at home while I was sleeping, but it REALLY broke when we got to the hospital and I was bouncing up and down on the birthing ball. I had the giant gush that you see in movies.

Also, if you’re breastfeeding, get ready for everyone to see your boobs. And not only see them, but feel them. And massage them. And squeeze them. It’s all for the baby, and trust me, you’ll be happy to have help because learning to breastfeed is some hard shit, but it’s a little um, shall we say, exposing.
