Worst Case Scenario

If there was a Mother's Worst Case Scenario Handbook...

This would certainly rank in the Top 10:

Yes... That would be neighborhood construction that inexplicably starts right as you put your baby down for a nap.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!; May 23, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Shirls said...: is it really wrong to look at that picture and think

1. that is such a cute house!
and
2. things are actually growing there, lucky people..

angie said...: don't even get me started. remember, nate's bedroom is RIGHT NEXT to the construction. Like feet away. Nate could probably almost high five the dude. and yes this was going on during his nap time. and i swear to God he hit my house with shit every 30 minutes. URGH. oh, and notice the construction only happened during nap time...not before or after. just during. fuckers.

Yes... we have one of those too!

Mrs Furious said...: Sunshine Mom,

Heather said...: I have 3 completely unrelated questions:

1. Can you recommend a book about vaccines? Is the Sears book good?
2. Do I need a breastfeeding book, or just go with a class and bring in a lactation consultant if needed?
3. Where can you find the Sun Guard stuff for $1.99? I found it for much more, but couldn't find it for that price. Help!; May 24, 2008 at 3:11 AM
Robin said...: Hey Heather, excuse me for butting in, but "The Nursing Mother's Companion" helped me tremendously. You can find it HERE.

The breastfeeding class I attended was pretty useless, but I imagine not all of them are, so I would take one. The lactation consultants in the hospital were good. I didn't need one after that, but my friend was able to work through some issues with the help of an LC. The book was really invaluable to me, and I think that may be why I didn't need to use an LC after I left the hospital.; May 24, 2008 at 9:59 AM
Robin said...: Heather - let me know if you want the book. I'll send you mine. I won't need it anymore. :(; May 24, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Mrs Furious said...: Heather,
I sent you an email with all the details.; May 24, 2008 at 11:27 AM
Heather said...: Thanks Robin! I'll send you my address!

And thanks Mrs. F for the email!; May 25, 2008 at 5:12 AM
