'Out Of Gas'
[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.
StE wanted nothing more than a draft-free bassinet, a diaper, and a tee shirt, with arms and legs flung wide. In December.
StY wanted the nightgown with the drawstring, the kimono over that, and wrapped up in a blanket like a burrito, with two more blankets rolled up on either side of him. In December.

The thing that I do that keeps dumb twitterers off-balance? Rather than verbal ju-jitsu, it usually is "I'm sorry. Tough break."
Ugh. Really irritating vegan fat-shaming article from a few years ago is making the rounds on Facebook again. Pretty much says that, if you're vegan and you're fat, then people will be so distracted by your hideous appearance that they won't listen to anything you have to say about animal rights, and so, by being fat, you are failing the movement. I cannot stand this stuff. My weight and my ethical choices have nothing to do with each other, and anybody who sees a skinny vegan and thinks, "I'm going to go vegan so that I can look like her!" isn't going to stay vegan long, anyway.

This makes sense but doesn't really make me feel prepared.
Lots of onsies, a few half-sweaters (think Captain Kirk's favorite wrap command shirt), a few lightweight footies, and a variety of light weight to medium weight blankets. You can always layer.
I won't be using blankets in the crib, but I will have some of those zip up sleep sacks.
Good: Child preparedness classes are booked.
Bad: My blood sugar is all over the map again today, and I just responded to my father-in-law's post about guns on facebook, this will not end well.
sj, my babies usually slept in onesies wrapped in a baby blanket burrito. Bev is right, trust your wee one to tell you what she wants. You'll quickly get down a rhythm, what to try first when you hear her cry: dirty diaper? too warm or too cold? hungry? tired? Before you know it, you will just know what each particular cry means.

Promise? It's normal to feel completely unprepared at this point in pregnancy, right?

Traditionally one feels completely unprepared when you arrive back at home from the hospital with a new baby: "Why did they let us leave with a baby? We've never done this before!"
