Cool. I highly recommend including your kids in the ceremony. It's not gross! My dad remarried twice and my mom is also remarried and being involved the wedding made us feel like we were apart of the family. The 2nd wife he married was kind of out of the blue for us. Like we didn't meet her until they were engaged.…

We actually did that at our wedding as well. Navy and white sand. It's a pretty neat pattern too.

So sorry. That sounds so traumatic. I'm glad it healed up well though. I know some women have long term issues.

I'm sorry. I know my experience probably isn't the norm but I just wanted to throw this out there that they aren't always horror shows. Not that you can really control how you will heal. For subsequent pregnancies I honestly don't know if I would allow another one.

I didn't know you were getting married! Soon? Congrats!

I think that's cute. I also know a couple who had their kids pour a third color sand in their unity vase to represent the families blending. But idk I also had my dad walk me down the isle. Although there was never a I'm property air about the thing.

Yeah I apologized profusely after she told me that. And then told her she could have told me this before I got pregnant so I could have been better informed in my decision.

Like down the perineum and the labia horizontally. *shudder*

My episiotomy was awesome. Well no, not awesome but after being in labor for 16 hours, being awake for 30+ hours, and pushing for 45 minutes the doctor gave me a little slice and the baby popped right out. He stitched me up and besides a little pain and having to squirt bottle myself for 4 weeks whenever I went to the…

When I had my episiotomy the doctor numbed my vagina before he did any cutting. I didn't feel a thing.

It honestly wasn't that bad for me. I was a little sore for a few weeks but otherwise everything healed up fine and the baby popped right out after that. Worth it for me.

Aww we're gonna miss you. You were one of the only writers I liked on the mainpage. And you were the first to mainpage me from GT. (And I love that you gave us a shoutout!) Good luck and I'm glad your replacement is Burt because that is the thing that makes this bittersweet.

Awww that makes me feel like I've really made it coming from you. But I don't actually comment on the MP much anymore because I'm grey. Id say I'm core commentariat on GT.

I'm trying not to hate her too hard. She is so gorgeous! And I'm jealous of those cheekbones!

Yeah if anything I hate the attention the baby brings us from strangers! I'm so introverted I don't want to make small talk with strangers.

That is horrifying. Don't worry I won't let Baby Haa crawl all over you without your permission. :-)

And I don't appreciate your "appreciate free stuff" comment. Do you have any idea how fucking expensive formula? But not only do I have now purchase formula because I can't breastfeed but I have a fucking useless $400 pump I bought. Over $500 of nursing bras and shirts. You can continue to help educate all us poor…

So only you get to speak of your experiences with hospitals and formula? I don't know when you had your last kid but mine was born in September and I never had anyone mention formula feeding to me as a choice even when I expressed concerns about my ability to continue to breast feed after returning to work. I've been…

It's interesting too. My child is 3 months old and besides getting a free can from my pediatrician because I was "only going to be adding a teaspoon to breast milk bottles" I've never gotten any free formula. And I've had to purchase the preemie stuff because my baby wasn't gaining weight fast enough. TBH this anti…

Well thank you oh so much for educating me on this subject. Please just leave me alone. You people are making me feel like shit. But please continue patting yourselves on your backs for being such caring understanding individuals to such poor uneducated woman like me.
