I think extracting spit up from nostrils is worse.

Gaaaah! Gaaaaaah! Don't put those images in my brain!

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?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Gaaaah! Gaaaaaah! Don't put those images in my brain!

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.

Up with the sun

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.

I can't even.

I think extracting spit up from nostrils is worse.

Whose nostrils? I'd think perhaps one's own, or the dog's might be tops?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

AS my cousin said about labor--"Sure it hurt like hell, but so do really bad cramps, and you get a BABY at the end of it."

It was bits of turkey suspended in chicken-fat-gelatin.

Oh god. My first meal in Russia (still Soviet at the time ) I asked for salad, because the meat pods were scary looking. I got this, on a bed of oil drenched cucumber slices.

I learned to like the meat pods. And buy carrots and cucumbers and tomatos from the little old babushkas selling them on the black market.
