YOu'd think baby skulls would be sturdier, what with all the head-first exploration they do.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

At that age my brother was nicknamed Natty Bumpo and had a goose-egg on the middle of his forehead for months in a row
OMG! That's a perfect nickname! We call him "Bumpy".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But they are sturdy! You hardly ever break right through.

Ouch! Poor Owen. Cash, if it makes you feel any better they do slow down a little but then the bumps get bigger (the youngest just went for his 9 y.o. check up with a huge hokin scraped knee and bruises all along one leg - thankfully the Dr. has boys so she just laughed and told him to be careful).

Especially since my brother's name is Nathaniel.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Plei, too small for The Girls?
And in re: to your nursing clothing rant - a fucking men. If I knew how to sew more than curtains, I could make a MAJILLON DOLLARS designing nursing clothes that didn't look like something left over from the Barnum and Bailey fire Sale.

I know nothing about nursing dresses, although I have a lot of experience in being unable to find clothes. I assume you've tried eBay, but there is this -- [link] I'm probably not being helpful, but I am successfully avoiding work.

I'm going to start rating O's bumps by quality. This one gets a 10 for color (it turned purple IMMEDIATELY), a 2 for hardly any blood, a 7 for immediate swelling, and a 5 on Mommy's alarm scale.

Ginger, that's a great link - that seller has some stuff for so inexpensive, I'm tempted to buy something for next time!

Look at the injured look in poor O's eyes.
For the sake of your sanity, I won't catalogue how many bad falls I had as a kid, but my head turned out more or less intact.
