and how if you were only doing it right, you too could have an unattended waterbirth while whales sang to you
these people - these people I hate and I have no idea about my fertility. It's like claiming that if people lived right they could be cancerfree.
In adopting-but-not-a-child news, our new standard poodle arrives tomorrow.
YAY!
That's exciting, Scrappy!
My cousin was just telling us how she was trying really hard not to curse while she was having her baby the other night, which I thought was funny.
New poodle is super exciting. Does new poodle have a name?
Plei, HA! YES. It reminds me of this review at Amazon of a book called The Second Nine Months.
This memoir allegedly tells the real story of becoming a mom, but I think it is more likely related to having an interventionist hospital birth and lots of bad advice. Unfortunately the author fails to make a connection between her inability to bond with her baby and her medicalized, unsupported birth and hands-off style of mothering, complete with sleeping separate from mom, "crying it out", and being pushed around in a stroller instead of being worn. Vicki Glembocki clearly needed a midwife before, during and after the birth. Rather than funny, I found the book so depressing that I felt like crying. I find incredibly sad that an educated woman would have no insight at all about birthing and parenting. I hope she find out that it doesn't have to be this way, and that joking about throwing the baby out the window or leaving it with strangers is not normal.
I'm not sure what being educated has to do with insights into birthing or parenting, but whatever!
YAY for scrappy's new dog.
New dogs are great!

What about joking that the baby will be tied to tree outside with a case of diapers and a sign that reads FREE TO GOOD HOME.?
New dogs are great!
Yeah. They have that new dog smell....
HAHAHA. I didn't threaten to tie the baby to the tree (that was you and Ruby), I threatened to leave him in his carseat on the curb! And I wasn't going to leave diapers either.
OMG, if I didn't know people who spout that BS like gospel, I would say that review had to be a joke!
YAY, Scrappy, that's an AWESOME doggie to be getting!
