My sister and I were c-sections, and when they brought my dad into the theatre to be with my mom, he was wandering around and looking at everything — the nurse had to direct him away from the sterile medical equipment. I heard for years about how “the doctor had his arm up to the elbow in your mom!” and idiot me only…

I look way more pregnant than her now and I’m over 13 months postpartum. :(
My husband almost passed out when we watched the video of the kid being born in our prenatal classes. I thought it looked like it was shot from across the room — you could barely see anything.
I will craft you a hiding place for his body.
No kidding! I wasn’t yet into dating and so on when it was airing (no one wanted to date awkward little jenteen until she grew up some), but I do remember thinking how awful it was that Becca outed him during a fight with someone on the playground. After he TRUSTED her! And they’d done a pretty good job saying that…
Did you mean the guy on Life Goes On? Jesse, played by Chad Lowe, who I always confuse with Tom Hulce (who was in Amadeus).
SO MANY. I’m now doing jewelry (beading, maybe some wire work one day), and I have more patterns and kits than I could probably hope to finish in ten years. Cross stitch, knitting, jewelry, one day I’ll learn crochet... it’s ridiculous. My husband at least tolerates it, but I’m sure privately hates it.
Oh, hell. But thanks for the warning.
I went to the CN Tower with some friends on a band trip in high school. I was looking down through the glass floor into Skydome (fuck you renaming, it’s still Skydome to me) and saying, “normally heights don’t really bother me, but this...” when one of my friends gives me a shove. I stumble forward one step, spin…
I warn pregnant friends that the post-delivery hormones will make you crazy. I cried for about two weeks straight after the birth of my first and referred to it as the weeps. My husband was understanding the first few times, then I think just rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything (he wasn’t critical, he just didn’t…
My dad did the same with me when I was a wee one. He grew a beard after I was born, kept it for awhile I guess, and then when he shaved made sure I was in the bathroom with him. He grew another beard after my sister was born and never shaved it off.
I love that series. Still haven’t finished season 5, though. And Aaron Ashmore is coming to Ottawa Pop Expo — going just to get his autograph.
OTTAWA REPRESENT!
Oh god, this was me. I bawled for 20 minutes when Hedwig was killed. Dobby? I am a stone cold bitch apparently. Animals always get to me in books, movies, tv shows. Now that I have my own babies, I can’t handle things with kids.
Can I creepy follow both of you on Ravelry/instagram? I love knitting pictures and patterns and piling up years of crafts to make... (I’m litterboxjen and jmgeekcraft)
Well, best of luck to both of you in the pre-kid months! :)
What scares me about the whole thing is that the links I’ve read suggest they still aren’t sure why the IUD works. There are theories, but it’s not proven. So then I wonder who the sadist was that had this idea to jam a foreign object into some poor woman’s uterus in the first place and then I go wondering wtf is…
I feel like I wrote this comment. :(
My doctor told me that “the insertion isn’t that bad, and you can take ibuprofen or tylenol ahead of time to manage it.” He (yes, he) did also warn me that the first six months are the worst as your body adjusts to it.
The nurse practitioner I spoke with said that for ladies who’ve delivered babies vaginally, they don’t even dilate the cervix. I find that hard to believe, but I guess I’ll know whenever I get mine inserted (I have a prescription for one, but I also don’t have my regular paycheques up and running yet, and I just…
