anyone using that before?
Am thinking about getting a pair of these. Anyone seen/used them?

- The airport car driver is here, talking to the children while bumblepapa puts on his shoes.
- Him: so how old are you?
- My girl: two years old
- Him: and how old are you?
- My boy: two years old
- Him: twins? Who is older?
- My boy: mummy!
Frustrated
All I’m going to say is that I need to work out some way of defending the me-time that we agree I can have while at the same time supporting a pleasant experience for my family in my absence.
I’m going to miss him!
Bumblepapa leaves for DC today until late Thursday night. Is is bad that the things I’m going to miss most are his ability to get the children to nap and the fact that he does the evening clean up in the kitchen?
(He was out at a meeting in Toronto yesterday, and I just could not get the children to nap. They were so miserable all afternoon.)
I think maybe that once the non vaccinated children grow up to reach the age of consent there should be targeted advertising to convince THEM to get themselves vaccinated and to show them the value of getting their own children vaccinated.
Never forget that you as an adult may require…
I was brought up un-vaccinated. Long before any vax=autism, just because my mum is deeply suspicious of the medical establishment.
At 18 I went to the Canary Islands with a friend, and checked with my doc about what I needed. I got a few inc polio, which was then a live virus.
My mum went apeshit. She insisted I stayed in my room and I couldn’t use the bathroom and couldn’t eat meals with everyone else for two weeks.
Talked about it with her (many years) later, she said she was scared that I’d pass something on to her and my siblings (all un vaxed).
I still think that she was way out of line. She doesn’t and has never apologized.
Ugh
Feeling really old frumpy tired cross hungry wobbly antisocial fed up impatient petulant
and cold.
Oh crap
Realized the front of the car is scratched up (like someone has swiped it in a car park or something) at exactly the point that my boy tells me he’s crapped in his underwear.
Dealt with the latter but am seriously bothered by the car. No idea when that happened. And bumblepapa is going to think it is me. Which it really really really isn’t.
I’m such a tourist. I go for a walk around the block with the children and take a picture of every other tree because they are all so beautiful.
Twin mums!
Who gave birth naturally?
If you did have a C-section was it elective or emergency?
Reblogging because I think I posted this during America’s sleep time.
I was induced @37w3d due to pre-e, had epidural, labored from Sun night to Tues morning, but able to deliver both vaginally with about 15 minutes of pushing. “BabyB” got pulled out feet first cause they didn’t want to wait to see if she would turn. Fine by me - get em out! Those stitches were worth it.
I was advised to schedule a section because of pre eclampsia, choleostasis and various other blood markers showing worrying trends. I kept my twins in as long as possible, I was scheduled for 38w, but then they brought it forward because my blood results got worse more quickly. I was kept in overnight at 37+2, ready for section the next day. Waters broke at 7:30am, was on the table by 9:20, and I held them 20mins later.
No section regrets. At all.
The little beasts helped me make batter then watched while I cooked pumpkin pancakes. And I forgot we had run out of eggs so I found an egg free recipe, which also happened to work well with whole grain flour.
Absolutely delicious.
