Auguri, sj e TCG! Benvenuti al mondo, Francesca! Tanti belle cose e bacioni.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Our wings are not tired.
ltc did her last in uterine trick by kicking off the monitor the morning of the csection. She hated anything on my tummy.
I understand completely. The monitors are completely annoying.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We're exhausted and figuring out breastfeeding is proving itself to be difficult.
Breastfeeding doesn't always come easy at first, so don't get discouraged. It took Emmett weeks to get it down! And Matilda wasn't really getting good at it until about the third day or so.
But it varies quite a bit and takes some practice on both ends.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Peanut is getting more and more active, but I think my favorite moment was when she landed a direct kick on the Doppler microphone during our checkup on Friday. "No paparazzi!"
Awww, fun and games with the sonogram. The very last sono I had, Matilda finally, finally, at 35 weeks, after resolutely turning away from the Doppler every time, turned her head and I got a glimpse of her round-cheeked face, button chin and eyes tight shut. It just about *slew* me.
I am so ridiculously happy for you, sj!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I ended up having to cancel all planned visitors earlier this evening because I was sick to my stomach. Which I guess is normal after a csection. I'm feeling much better after some meds and a long nap.
