Quick editing question (as my style guides are still en route):
Is it "to work full time" or "to work full-time"?

I'm sorting newly washed baby clothes.
Things I don't understand:
1. Baby pajamas. Seriously? All they do is sleep. They need special clothes for sleeping?
2. One onesie says on the label: "Keep Away from Fire" Okay so when I pan sear my child, I'll be sure to take THIS onesie off.
3. K got mad at me when I wanted to put Noah in a onesie that said, "The animals came 2 by 2." Also, she won't let me do the animals and arc theme for the nursery.
4. The nurses' reluctance to dress Noah in pink or Grace in blue. Dude. They don't know colors for shit right now. Doesn't matter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But also, if I were Jack Reacher, I wouldn't be attached to a breast pump. Probably.
True.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kat has me laughing. I need that. Since I'm typing on a laptop missing keys thanks to the Toddler From Hell. The people from HP kept asking me how I lost the keys.
My three year old gleefully ripped them off while I was trying to pee.
I now know why someone invented preschool. To save the lives of toddlers.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm glad there is a plan, ita.
I've read one of Lee Child's books, and I plan to read more.
Currently I am trying to convince myself that I should have something other than strawberries for dinner.

Heh. That's all newborns and preemies do.
As they get bigger you might want to put them into some of those display outfits, though frankly there's something to be said about long sleeved footie pajamas all day.

Yoiks! Cash, that scares me because that's my future. As bad as things seem right now, at least they aren't completely mobile.
The maternity wing is a locked unit at the hospital. It's to prevent baby theft, which makes sense. I'm really good about calling the NICU to get in but people always want to come in when all of the signs say, basically, that each group must call.
I often want to make a snide remark about the fact that I always call and there is exactly zero chance that anyone is snatching my kids because they come with durable medical equipment and by the time you get the vent, the oxygen machine, the infusers and all of the meds, you won't be able to wheel out my kids. So the locked ward-ness? More for the safety of the sausage babies that most those people are visiting and would want to protect.
