I pumped exclusively for 8 months, so a fair amount. I pumped and drove on many occasions. Best way to make use of my 20 minute commute!

Could you imagine? I mean the only way to swallow an embryo involves a miscarriage or abortion. Too lazy to insert a gif that’s in the greys, so I’ll just say “that escalated quickly.”

Took me a second to figure it out-my mind jumped to an embryo as opposed to a sperm. I wish his dad would have just finished in a tissue. This guy is the worst.

My daughter (19 months) climbs into her toy box just about every day and my husband has changed basically all of the words to that song to reflect “it’s my kid in a box”

Or they watched a lot of weeds, that’s all I think of when I see the name Silas

Thank you for your support of “Good Enough” it’s what got me through the first year with my daughter. It never felt like I was giving up or giving in, sacrificing myself for her or vice versa, just a gentle understanding that one size does not fit all and, at the end of the day, “Good Enough” is more than many…

same. i have always had very alert nipples. until i tried to breastfeed. then they suddenly disappeared. nature man, so weird.

I'll happily share my war stories!!

It's increased everything all around. generally speaking my wedding clients are very particular (and they should be, my average ticket without sales tax and setup fees is 27,000) whereas my corporate clients are spending half of that to decorate 3-5x as many tables because they call me and say "hey pink drink, event…

Check out literally every other wedding related post for the pissing contest about who spent the least.

Higher level of service, yes. I am a wedding decor designer and for an average wedding I get about 80 emails. About flowers. Whereas a corporate event is usually just 5-10.

I'll play

Agreed! My worst day for her would be a vacation compared to what she deals with

I thought that too but why would Abby be embarrassed by that, so much so that she couldn't look Olivia in the eye? If my hypothetical boyfriend was a renowned carpet muncher I'd get a billboard and let the world know!

Thank you for saying this so I didn't have to. It makes me feel so old. And then I read she is 23 and I just may as well buy a cemetery plot at this point.

thanks :)

Phew! I was feeling SUPER guilty for doing some generally approved (though not everyone on earth is on board, I do realize, with even gentle crying it out) nap training today and then I saw your comment and was like "omg i am the worst person on earth! Even EasttoMidwest thinks so!"

are you saying keeping her waiting in her crib for 5 minutes is detrimental to her health? or purposeful long term isolation?

i cannot fathom isolating a child. I personally feel guilty when my daughter (18 months) wakes up and is ready to get out of her crib, and I have to make her wait a bit for a variety of reasons (in the shower, have my hands in a bowl of meatballs making dinner etc) and she gets pissy after 5ish minutes. How can…
