Somebody's biology class wasn't too accurate. Pregnancy is supposed to last 40 weeks not 40 YEARS.

Wow, if I ever have money I am totally getting an awesome wreath like that. And if I ever have artistic talent, I'm totally making a wreath like that.

"What the fuck are these puppies? They aren't even monogrammed!!"

BASIL WREATHS!? I want one. What is it? It sounds like it smells amazing.

Shit, my laughter may wake my kids.

Yesss! Learn from their mistakes, exactly that.

Whatever. From my wedding, I have a $40 garlic press from these guys and I don't care if it's the dumbest thing in the world (it's up there, $40 on a GARLIC PRESS???), I love it. I don't even have to peel those fuckers.

That's so weird that that happens. It's okay if it IS the driver's fault. It doesn't mean they were bad people, or that they deserved it, or anything other than they made a bad decision that TONS of people make all the time, and something awful happened.

So wait, did they change the whole "they were going 45mph in a 15mph zone" thing?? They were going 90mph!?! That's a fuckton more than 45.

Our NICU doesn't let strangers or children in during flu/rsv season, so it would be a weird stranger lady in the waiting room trying to hug you thing! But the gifts is a great idea! We do volunteer with our local preemie support group and they buy and wrap gifts for current NICU families every year. I missed their…

For individual kids, I just say buy them what they like, what they are interested in, and don't limit them to boy toys and girl toys.

LOL We have an Elmo potty training doll who sings a horribly annoying song if you don't get him to the potty in time (which come ON a 2 year old will never get him there in time). One of mine got so sick of it that when Elmo started singing the last time, he was shaking his hand saying "NO, BYE! NO, BYE!" to Elmo. I…

I had all the "let the boys play with dolls" "don't buy them trucks" thoughts too, but damn if my toddler boys don't scream "TRUCK!" every time they see one when we're out. And when I gave them one of my old Cabbage Patch Kids to play with, one cuddled it for a minute, and the other threw it IN THE FIREPLACE! lol They…

Our NICU was actually great about that. They let us bring in presents from home and unwrap them next to our boys' isolets. They let us put stockings on the outside of their isolets and put some stuffed holiday animals behind them on a shelf. And apparently Santa came because when we showed up Christmas morning for the…

My boys spent their first Christmas in the NICU and our nurses made tote bags with their teeny tiny footprints painted like snowmen on them! They said "SoandSo's First Christmas 2011." It was so thoughtful and I've got tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Hospital staff can be so wonderful and go so far beyond…

Thank you! Basically you just live through it. It was horrible and terrifying even though my kids had a very easy go of it despite being teeny. One day at a time was too much even, one minute at a time was how I had to do it. Or just don't think beyond right this second. But it's over and it was only 9 weeks and…

What does that even mean? Do some people have bad ones? I've seen every episode of Friends like 10 times and I never noticed Jennifer Aniston's beauty standard quality forehead.

For the men one, you can drop everything but the Idris Elba. All of him. Done.

Ohhh, I can't even watch because I know I'll cry. So sweet. We did the NICU Christmas two years ago and it suuuuuuucked. Merry First Christmas babies stuck in your plastic isolets! I'll open your presents while you get this blood transfusion.

Oh agreed. Especially when the sizes that they don't give a name to (what, like 2-12?) and by doing that imply are normal or average, aren't the average size of a woman in this country. There is just no point to calling people out for being a particular size. As far as I can see, the ONLY thing it does is make people…
