Your first paragraph... the struggle is real. My baby waits until she is on the bottle and then craps into her fresh diaper. Then, after I clean her up, she spits up gallons, and by then she’s peed, so while I’m changing her outfit for the 3rd time, I have to change her diaper again. I’m glad she’s a once a day…

Enjoy your water bill! Not everyone has a washer and dryer at home, either.

That was amazing! After 20 hours of hard back labor, I decided to get off my high horse and get the fucking epidural. It was so worth it.

For me, my mental health has been more tenuous than physical recovery. I had a 4th degree tear ( so I basically have a brand-new asshole), but I healed pretty quickly and had little to no pain a week after the birth. But my mental state the first 5-6 weeks was awful. We are at 11 weeks right now and I’m feeling much…

Seeing that giant muslin bib on Chicago West makes me wonder if that baby spits up like my 2 month old. We are talking Linda Blair in the Exorcist levels of spit-up. Also, that is one cute baby.

Jondalar invented cunnilingus for me, anyway. I was in 6th grade and had no idea such a sex act existed. My mom was PISSED when she found my copy under the bed.

Who trimmed that newborn’s fingernails? My 5 week old came out with ragged long daggers for nails? I’m still scared to use baby nail clippers.

Jesus Christ, I freaked out over the condensation under the cap (but over the foil) on the Enfamil bottles. I can’t imagine what I’d do if formula made BabyRun sick. What a horrible nightmare for families.

Ugh. It’s virtually impossible to find a decent Italian hoagie in Northern California. I live for my annual family reunion in NE PA just so I can get a decent goddamn sandwich. I also deeply miss the Italian beef of my Chicagoland youth. But that is a different sandwich for a different day.

I think they are on hiatus through January. Madeleine said they’d be back for season 2. It’s seriously my favorite podcast and introduced me to my 2nd favorite podcast, You Must Remember This.

I taught my husband to also call it night cheese. He prefers slices of Tillamook cheddar, but always enjoys a piece when taking his night meds.

My friend and I are both pregnant with our first babies. She asked if I was going to get the TDap booster. We live in an area with whooping cough outbreaks and a high rate of noncompliance towards childhood vaccines. I said hell yes I’m getting the booster. She was on the fence, because the booster really hurts her…

Meh. I don’t want him here, anyway. He would probably praise the golf courses for being fire breaks, or something equally gross.

Ok, I am both a disaster-flick connoisseur AND a 2 time evacuee of the current NorCal wildfires. (My house is fine! My family is fine. The devastation is unreal, though.)

We are about to start a remodel (because we are stupid. I’m due in December) and there’s no way we could do it without family help. I’m glad that the Republicans haven’t been able to knock out the ACA, and I have a good plan, because damn, prenatal care is expensive! Let alone all the future expenses. I can’t even…

Sending fertile thoughts your way! I’m due in December and I had almost given up when I got knocked up.

I thought Kim has placenta accreta and that’s why she needed a surrogate, so she wouldn’t hemorrhage and die.

They freaking won a CFDA award for The Row. Full House wishes it could be that cool.

If I’d been drinking, I would have spit it out.

Jesus Christ, that girl is absolutely wooden in the video. I’ve seen boards with more charisma. I really don’t get giving her a million dollar deal. Even ignoring all the Dr Phil shit and exploitation, this is a real head-scratcher from a business point of view.
