For some reason I’m reminded of Bruce McCulloch’s mannerisms, especially when he’s playing women:

Key was also in Playing House, which was/is awesome, and Friends from College (definitely not awesome).

I think she’s my favourite - her terrorism of her kids and Oliver is awesome. Though Carly Hughes/Angela as a cheating lesbian who hooks up with bored suburban moms cracks me up, too.

I realized after I posted my comment that I probably came off more annoyed or something than I intended. I figured anyone who could make accurate references to it was no doubt also a fan.

She does look pretty miserable in her wedding photos. That’s something to enjoy.

Hey, that show is great - Diedrich Bader is awesome. I hate how douchey Oliver is (that’s also my son’s name), but that’s the point of him, so I let it be.

She was part of a recent episode of Just For Laughs: All Access that I caught. Her set was dirty and funny!

I love you for referencing that show. That was my childhood.

I did all the testing with my daughter, and then screwed up the timelines for the testing with my son, so I ended up with a 1 in 300 chance of him having Downs (which is the line where they recommend you do an amnio to confirm). I went through with an amnio, and I was terrified — what if I miscarried because I had to…

I was equally confused, if it’s any comfort.

This is what comes to mind for me:

I was picking up my daughter at her school yesterday, and there were two boys (maybe 8 or 9 years old?) with their dads down the hallway. One of the boys went over to his friend and gave him a big hug, and it made me smile so big. My son loves to run up to me and give me hugs, and he’s been a cuddler since he was born…

Who kisses someone else’s kids on the mouth?? My husband and I will kiss our kids on the mouth, which I’m sure we’ll phase out eventually, but if someone else did, I’d be pissed.

Sorry! It’s the moment the baby’s head is crowning.

It sounds awful, I know, but I didn’t feel it at the time. The stitching up was uncomfortable only because I didn’t feel like the freezing had fully taken (my son was an unplanned speedy natural delivery because, as I like to say, he takes after my husband’s side of the family and messes up my plans), but it was fine.…

I breastfed both kids for about a year each, and my boobs look the same as they did pre-kid. They’re a little less perky, but that could just as easily be due to age and natural droop. Have faith in your boobs!

Oh, I have those, too! Thighs, hips, boobs. Now belly, too. Ah well!

I tore in my vagina. Similar to I made a pigeonrat, it wasn’t a bad tear and the OB said she probably could’ve left it alone, but stitched it up. Sneezing post-stitching was a bit interesting, but otherwise it wasn’t painful.

I always said that if I ended up with the giant, darkened areolas/nipples, that I’d just look in the mirror and cry (no shame on women who have those breasts, it would just be a very different look for my body). I didn’t have that experience, but discovering stretch marks on my 31st birthday when I thought I’d avoided…

Oh, I’m sorry if I seemed doom and gloom! I just found the first two weeks after the baby was born that I was full of the weeps, and after that first one you don’t know what the fuck is going on and how someone trusted you to look after a brand new human. Every pregnancy is completely different, as is every birth…
