If I only had a brain...

Okay, maybe tiaras aren't for everybody.

The image of this just delights me. Oh, and hey! I have stuff for you, and want to socialize. And, y'know, see Tickybox.

Gud, I wish I had any helpful advice. All I can offer is my good thoughts.

Connie, RIGHT ON!

ION, kill me now. Or send morphine. I got my monthly confirmation that I'm not pregnant -- in the middle of the morning, totally unexpectedly (or, at least, I hadn't thought about what the date was) -- and I have cramps so bad that I feel like I'm going to pass out. I'd go home, but I have a haircut appointment at 5:00 right across the street. I'll tell you what I'm NOT doing, though -- I'm NOT going to the gym. Fuck that.

Closer to the earth, my ass.

So, the next time my MIL sends me a care package with the UK version of Midol that contains codeine, do you want me send a box your way?

Closer to the earth, my ass.

In the sense that you want to be 6 feet under perhaps. It is of the suck--sorry.

May you find massive quantities of pain-relievers/chocolate/booze and a heating pad in the next few minutes.

Yes, I worked the bouncy ball with my nephew back in the day.

ION, I am really irritated with a friend whose priority (rightly so) is the man she loves, and she wants everyone to know that they are second to their Big Deal Love. Trying to make plans with her is cranky-making.

Sorry about the pain, Steph.

You sweetheart! I actually have tylenol with codeine -- at home. Normally I can jump on my cramps with barrages of ibuprofen, and that gets it under control. And, in fact, I've taken 800 mg of ibuprofen in the past 20 minutes, so they're starting to subside. They were really just evil for a little while.

Honestly, Betsy, I don't think it's the tiara that's wrong with that outfit.

Trust my rage

Ooo! Stephanie, we have one that we got for labor (but didn't use or bring to the hospital), and Paul considers it the most useful object in the house, because it's perfect for sitting on and bouncing babygirl to sleep.

That's why I got it - recommended by everyone for labor. I'm hoping it will become an all purpose ball post-baby arrival (since we know the abs will need some work).

That's interesting to hear about prefering getting out of bed for the feedings. I want to get a glider and I had assumed I'd put it in the baby room, but maybe I'd rather have it in our room for the first few weeks so I have somewhere close to sit. Thanks for the Boppy tip - I checked them out and they do look really useful.
