Eeeeeewwwwwww!

With all the problems coming out of China…toys, milk, now USED CONDOMS AS HAIR TIES/BANDS?!
I don’t know about you, but when I tie my hair up, I sometimes put the band in my mouth as I brush and smooth my hair. Somehow, I don’t think these used condoms are sterilized first.

My Guilty Pleasure: Cupcakes

Yes, I know…they are very trendy now…and have been for a year or two. But I LOVE cupcakes. I always have. There’s something…sweet, nostalgic, satisfying…poetic about that little bit of goodness.

<sigh>

Bed Rest…& the rantings of a mad woman!

It happened. I’ve been put on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy.
I know once school started, my entries started getting farther and farther apart.
Now that I am on bed rest until Noodles arrives, I will probably update a lot more. THEN stop. For a while.
*************************************************************************************************************
I am on a different tangent altogether now.

Is this a good precedent to set? I mean, as a future mother of a teen boy who I KNOW will drive me nuts from time to time, I can’t imagine just abandoning my boy. This would truly be the mother of all ‘abandonment [...]

Pre-Breastfeeding: getting yourself ready

Christmas – 1944
Originally uploaded by photo_history

I was at the doctor’s yesterday. While waiting to be examined, I picked up a book about breastfeeding. As I plan on breastfeeding Noodles, figured I need to bone up on some facts.
The chapter that caught my eyes was about ‘toughening up your nipples’. Hm. How could you NOT stop [...]

This site had the biggest selection: Baby Ticker
