So there's a woman in my due month group who is devastated because she's 6 months pregnant and she and her husband have gone 10 whole days without sex ( Read more... )

Kind of feel like a loser practicing baby bondage swaddling on a teddy bear. Then again, is the only way I'm going to get practice right now. Tried swaddling a cat forpractice my own sadistic glee but cat ran away and tore hole in blanket. Will have to try again with duct tape. On cat, not baby ( Read more... )

I've heard parents forbid their children from watching TV for a variety of reasons mostly falling into two categories. It will make you dumb or it will make you see things that we might find inappropriate ( Read more... )

I caught one of my cats today trying to pee on the baby's cot. I just moved it out of the nursery and into our room because it's going to be in there anyway once Xander's born. It's currently got the Airwrap set up in it, the sheets I was trying a fit on and the only warm-ish blanket I have because I wanted to see if it would fit. Once I tested ( Read more... )

Dear people,

It is not helpful - nor is it funny - to respond to my recent fatigue with, "Ahahahaha. You don't even know what tired is. Wait until you actually have the baby."

It just makes me want to twist your head off and spit down your throat.

Background: I've listed a car via a local online classified site (not CL).  This is the second email I've gotten with the exact wording.  I'm finding them amusing. Emails from them are in red, emails from me are in blue.

I never got to witness much pregnant crazy.  Krista was remarkably sane and I unfortunately wasn't around for Heather or Sarah's pregnancies.  There was one moment when Krista was playing rummy with us and she burst into tears thinking that we all hated her.  She cried for a minute and suddenly realized that she was being irrational and stopped ( Read more... )

I need to find a community of mothers or mothers to be who don't look at me like I'm a freak when I mention things like Keyboard Cat or ICHC or xkcd. I feel like the only non-suburban housewife/saturated in religiosity/taking kids to soccer practice/finding precious moments figurines cute/decorating nursery with bunnies pregnant woman in existance ( Read more... )

Started to get a migraine yesterday at 10am. Got worse over the course of the day. I can only take regular Panadol and a little caffeine for migraines and that wasn't very helpful. I went to sleep at about 9am and kept waking up after 4am - still with the migraine. I figured I'd try to sleep as long as I could to see if I could kick it, but at ( Read more... )
