Oh, damn, Emily. I love that catalogue. I got one in the mail about four years ago, and there were two or three items I desperately needed on practically every single page. I kept the catalogue for over a year. Sheer pretty-creature-comforts porn.

I've bought three different pieces of clothing from Soft Surroundings. One is workout clothing; the other two get compliments *every time I wear them*. They feel as good as they look.

They have a Web outlet, and the prices are much less painful there.

I too have much want in that catalog...and I haven't even let myself sit down and really look at it yet. Everything just looks so soft and lovely.

I managed to completely destroy dinner...I mean DESTROY! So, we are now eating Wendy's, for the third time this week. Some days it surprises me that Emily doesn't just kick me out.

Note this, for instance:

Oh, Betsy, that's dangerous information.

I mean, thank you!

Oh, Betsy. If only you could hear the ooooooos and ahhhhhhhhs coming out of this living room right now.

Aimee, I think babies start to top out at around 32 oz. a day in formula--when they get in and in what amount, doesn't matter. Some babies take a little less, some more. Babies have that magic self cut off mechanism that we lack. They'll eat/drink as much as they need. Once they move on to mostly solids and switch to whole milk, I think the magic number drops to 24-28 oz.

I'm shopping for a winter coat for me and Owen. I think I may need new boots this year. Does anyone know if the Midwest is expecting more or less snow this year?

Yes, the Midwest will more or less, get snow this year.

Thanks. I can reassure Joe tha I am not after starving the baby.

You keep saying this "useless" thing. I'm not gonna return him! It's for the warranty!

Sweetie, someone should have told you by now, and I'm sorry the Bitches let you down. The warranty? It's a total bait and switch. You've seen how broken my dh has been this summer. I'd be sitting pretty if the warranty had any teeth.

Aimee, does she have bottles with the meals/snacks as well? I'm not clear on how much she's having. If she's only have three bottles a day and only taking 6 ounces at each, I might double-check with the pediatrician. It's not a freak out thing, but they might think the formula is more important than the solid foods. It's been a long time for me though, and nutritional advice changes.
