Why does the public record hate America?
I know!
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

What is even happening?
I used to clip the babies' nails when they were sleeping, but not during night-sleep. During a nap, toward the end. Sometimes, it would take me a few sessions before all 10 were done.
Okay, it's sprinkler time. See ya'll later.

Clipping baby nails is the single worst baby-related chore.
I think extracting spit up from nostrils is worse.

And the Buffistas do their best to reinforce that my never having babies was the best decision I ever made.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Maybe you should stop holding Lily upside down while you're burping her.

If I only had a brain...
Giving medication to a baby who is screaming her rage is the worst. I once wrapped something she hated in chocolate ice cream; seconds later the Cipro AND the ice cream came back up. We called the pedi for a different antibiotic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am finding both e nail biting and nose clearing discussions disturbing in different ways.
Is it bad and wrong that I am actively seeking out a recipe for the turkey in gelatin thing Raquel mentioned?

It's just using that little suction bulb! It sounds much grosser than it actually is, but it's worse than nail clipping because it has the spit-guilt factor built in, as she only does the milk out the nose thing when she spits while attempting to eat.
In fact, most things about babies sound worse than they are. Like labor, which as I've mentioned, was way easier than food poisoning/stomach flu, and involved far fewer fluids than I was warned it would.

Is she called Cynthia, or Cindy?
Both, I think, depending on the situation. I think it's usually Cindy in practice, but she introduces herself as Cynthia. I dunno, maybe people do call her Cyn and I just don't notice.
Cyn plus our last name is ... either fun or very bad, depending on how you look at it.
