Thanks, JZ. I swear it feel like just yesterday that Matilda was born.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm sorry that I have been spamming the thread so much with mememe lately
Don't apologize. We all need to vent at length sometimes. It's just your turn. And you're holding up very well.
And best wishes for your stepgrandmother.

She thinks she'll be able to use a nursing cover!
Is that the thing that you can drape over to be more modest nursing in public? Or is it something else?

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 it. The thing that some babies are fine with but lots of babies completely loathe and will flail and kick and holler at, drawing ten times more attention to the attempt at public nursing than quietly unbuttoning the top two blouse buttons and popping open the nursing bra ever would have.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm sorry that I have been spamming the thread so much with mememe latelypfft. It's called "Bitches" for multiple reasons. Friends are here to help with the woes, and celebrated the yays.
OK I should be off to work. Blah. Feel like crud. The sinuses are drained, but the cold is still saying "ooh energy! I'll take that from you, thankyouverymuch". Ugg.

Ah, I was going to say that my friend with a 4-month old has a super cute one that she uses all the time. But her baby is pretty chilled out. You just never know!

She thinks she'll have time to steam and re-sterilize all her bottles and nipples after every single use! Ah ha ha.
Oh, sterilization. How I laugh at my new mom self when I think back to those naive first days. (Then: ZOMG STERILIZE EVERYTHING! DISTILLED WATER ONLY! Now: Wait, how long was that on the floor? Eh, I mopped last week, it's fine.)
I'd suggest getting her some really cute receiving blankets - they can double as nursing covers, but won't be totally useless if the baby decides that being covered while nursing is EVIL.

not your mom's socks.
Ah ha ha.
seconding that. And thirding.
lots of babies completely loathe and will flail and kick
if I were a baby, and I was covered up by something branded a "Hootie Hider," I too would flail and kick. I understand the need, and think that whatever works for a mom and baby to feel comfortable is the absolute best thing. But the name. Flail. Kick.
Lisah. you rock like a rocking thing. Thank you for the emails.
I have an appointment with the nurse practitioner at my mom's doctor, 30 minutes away, next Friday. I will now call my new/former doctor and tell them to bite me.

You know, we've talked about registries before - I think baby registries are the one situation where you can 100% ignore them when shopping for a first-time parent. Because I don't know ANYONE who registered for the right things the first time around. Half the things I registered for? Completely useless. You just have no idea what you'll actually use.
