“It’s pronounced Bouquet”

That’s pretty well how I’ve watched the whole series.

That BMW picnic party is a thing of glory. Champagne? Check. Fancy glasses? Check. Box of $4 Carr’s crackers? Check. Pink terry towel? Naturally. I am wagering that they also had a plush pink toilet seat and coloured scented toilet paper in that person’s abode.

Don’t even joke about this. It’s totally true. And maple water, maple water is everywhere now :S

This is so depressing :(... Happy Tuesday everyone!

They usually do. 7-10% of their birth weight is normal loss. Much of it is essentially “water weight”. They come out plump.

Oh that’s hard... I hope she is able to produce as well. I exclusively breastfeed but I am one of the lucky ones who has had an easy go of it. It’s a lot of pressure when it’s not going well and I can only imagine that when you have such high expectations and poor ideas about formula it’s really going to hit hard.…

Johnson & Johnson is the ultimate poison.

Oh god yes... It’s like a form of torture. I recently inserted myself into a discussion where someone suggested “chemicals” in soaps were related to autism and I regret getting involved. But c’mon people!

Me! I got it when I was a kid. I guess I had strep and never noticed? Suddenly had the horrible rash. I started antibiotics immediately and was sick for ages. Took quite a while to feel normal again. I have a murmur that they think may be related to it. Though I think it may have eked into rheumatic fever territory by…

I live in central Canada. My baby is only 2 months old, but no issues with the public breastfeeding yet. We’ve nursed at the doctors office, coffee shop, mall, in the car in a parking lot, and at my office for a visit. If it weren’t winter, we’d have nursed outside by now. This evening I am meeting a friend for dinner…

I wore a massive pair of scrubs. I’m 3 weeks postpartum and slender and my stomach looks nothing like that. I don’t even know if it would with a belly binder... I’m amazed at how great she looks and am only slightly bitter that I do not look that great. But yes, the boobs. At the peak of engorgement I had a dream…

Frozen. How are you not dead yet?

HA! I had that the other week. None of my coats do up all the way and I’m due very very soon so like hell I’m buying a new one. “Aren’t you cold?” “No...” “Well I’m worried about the baby.” It’s regulating its own temperature at this point and it’s inside me. It’s just fine at like 5 celsius for a few minutes, thank…

Oh of course not. The baby doesn’t care. I have purchased some things I thought were cute that are boyish as well as girlish and a bunch of stuff in the middle. In all honesty - I just really love yellows, greens, oranges, purples and I hate how everything baby is pink or blue. There’s a HUGE spectrum of colours out…

We know the sex of our baby but are refusing to tell anyone. They can wait. The reactions of people have been ridiculous. In addition to the “Why wouldn’t you tell people, that’s stupid” responses, I also get a lot of “What am I supposed to buy the baby if I don’t know what it is?” My answer is “nothing.” Because…

I’m an NDP voter and I did vote NDP this time, though in a riding where it wouldn’t have mattered (even though I think everyone expected it to be much closer between NDP and Lib than it actually was). I voted for the local candidate I liked the best rather than federally... But really - I felt the same way with…

This is my grandparents to a T. As old conservatives they have never voted for any other party and they never will. In spite of the fact that they are where they are today (which is in a pretty good place quite frankly) because of left-wing policies.

Ugh, the Shy Tory Factor. :(
