I had a teacher that not only required them, but didn't allow you to veer from them.
I'd have shot her. Seriously. This is why my father - a world-class musician - never allowed me near formal musical education; he said the imposition of too much artificial structure on individual creativity had rotted more good musical brains than opium ever had.
Plei, do you think she'll demand to be called Lily at some point? Or even Lilah?
It happens a lot, Robin. People don't realize that you can be fertile almost immediately after childbirth. I've heard OBs say that they routinely see women at the 6-week checkup who are already pregnant again.

Well, it would be Lilly, wouldn't it? Hey, like Lilly Kane!

t strokes out AND DIES
Am I a horrid mommy for putting Em on her tummy to sleep?? It's the only way to get her back to sleep in the middle of the night. I must have made Joe check her breathing 4 times in a half hour this morning.
Can she roll over on her own yet, Aimee? That's when our pede said it was OK.
No matter how often I put mine on their backs, as soon as they could, they rolled to their fronts and slept like rocks. They were a lot less fussy that way.

Heh.
t TMI
If they'd had MY childbirth experience, they wouldn't have been. Things just weren't quite, um,
healed
enough that soon.

We're thinking of waiting till 2008 or so, even though I'll be 37 then. Combination of wanting to buy a house, give me time to write a few more novels and hopefully sell one, give me time to get in better shape, and I'm just not ready to face labor again anytime soon. I've never been so strongly tempted to slap DH's grandmother as when she said at Christmas that none of her labors were over 12 hours, and isn't it wonderful how you forget about the pain as soon as you have that wonderful baby in your arms? Well, Grandma, maybe
you
did. I adore Annabel, but I still remember labor all too clearly.

I wonder about women like that. I think there must be something broken somewhere.
I don't know, Aimee. Obviously most of us slept on our stomachs, and we're fine, but I'd try to find a way to encourage her to sleep on her back. But I'm paranoid about stuff like that.
