Hiccups. Totally natural in babies, right? I don't have to sneak up on her and try to scare them out of her, do I? (babysitting a 6 wk old)
Nope. You're fine. No scaring the baby.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm getting the pig!
Thanks -t. (And Aims) I got a little nervous and then I finally googled, so now I'm back to enjoying the wee infant. I just didn't want to google and have the first result be some horrible "my baby had hiccups that caused a heart defect because the babysitter didn't burp her fast enough after feeding her" horror story.
I've been around a lot of infants but I've never seen infant hiccups before. I guess I can check that off the list.

Now tagless for your comfort.
(The computer room is a smallish bedroom right off the bathroom so I'm only about 6 feet away from her for those moms (and dads) that involuntarily gasped at the thought of not being on the child whilst in the tub.)
Once kids get older, they can be trusted for a bit. We bathe O and Liv together so we usually leave O in there while we dress Liv. He does ok, but he also went through the phase where he would jump in and out of the tub because he could.

SiL just called. BiL is resting and jacked on pain killers at the hospital. They're waiting overnight to see if his lung reinflates on its own. They'll call us in the morning.
Thanks for the ~ma and good wishes.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Toto!
I agree that rescheduling anything four times because of over- or double-booking is ridiculous.
Some celebrities practically beg for rude jokes. As long as we don't consider the likes of Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, or Britney Spears as representative of any class except "idiot celebrities."
Encouraging recovery news, Cashmere!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's wonderful, Cashmere!

Totally normal. Though, if they persist, you could always wave the Freaky Toy at her.

Re-inflating lung ~ma for Cashmere's BiL!

No. Adison's mother made me swear on my dog's life that Freaky Cat would stay in the guest room with the door SHUT the entire time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have been converted to the homemade fake cheese side. I just made this [link] , (with about half the amount of nutritional yeast that that calls for, because it seemed like way too much), and it's fabulous. Also, really does taste almost like cheese. Well, not quite like actual cheese, but it's a damn good approximation of the cheese sauce from the little packets of powdered cheese. And I have no idea how those flavors all come together to make this, and it's weirding me out a bit.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

No gasping here. Our bathroom is kinda centrally located upstairs, so I leave the door open and kind of putter around in the bedroom or laundry room. As long as I hear quiet splashing and playing, I know all is well.
