[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.
My twins! Oh sheeesh I want to bite their cheeks. Thanks so much, lisah.
You're welcome!!!! I brought my camera over yesterday just so I could get pics for you! (and my mom who can't make their b'day party next weekend)

Ouch, how did you cut yourself?
I cut myself peeling ginger with the very cute monkey holding up a vegetable peeling blade (a la Lloyd Dobbler) vegetable peeler that I got for xmas. Cute but DEADLY!
Dr. friend (aka twin babymomma) says to put bacitracin and gauze on it but all I had was novelty pirate bandaids. Hopefully i haven't caught plague. I'll go get proper first aid supplies today.

I thingk i'mm safe from that (ARRGH CAN'T TYPE W/ GIMPY FINGTER)...I cut it imaking something called 7 Vegetable Jafreeza (...something like that...it's Indian and spicy and delicious..which it had better be because i sacrificed part of one v important finger for it)
Gnyargh. Matilda is all snuffly and fussy and super-clingy. I'm still in my pj's, the sink is full of crap, I haven't been able to get her down and out of my arms for more than 60 seconds since 7 (God bless David for taking her at 3:30 when she woke up snuffling and squawking), and staying home from work today is not an option.
Sean, vibing hard for you and S. I'm so glad the treatment went well and she's home again.
JZ, I know this seems mean, but if you let her cry some while you do what you have to do, it might loosen up her stuffiness, a little. I'm not saying let her go for a half hour at a time, or advocating any kind of cruelty -- I'm just saying it's okay to let her cry for a few while you do the necessary stuff. This is a lesson I learned when Ben was an infant, had a particularly fussy day, and I realized I was holding him while I peed, so that he wouldn't cry if I put him down.
Also, you could put her in a baby seat, and take her into the bathroom while you shower. The moisture might help her. She'll be angry, but you'll be right there and she'll know it's okay, even if she HATES IT WITH A PASSION.

Great excuse to take a long, hot shower! It's good for the baby!
Poor wee snuffler and parents.

We found this helped SO MUCH with Em. It loosened things up in there and made it easier for her to breathe. Also, I swear by the vapor bath stuff now. [link]

See, this is why I don't cook. It's dangerous!
Poor Matilda. Poor Matilda's mom. Feel better, both.
