A girl and her cats.

You know it's love when...

...someone TOTALLY squishes you.

Do not try this at home.

You heard about the teen who gave birth in her shower and then walked four blocks to the hospital?  "I felt his head coming, so I sit down and pushed so he could come out," she said.  Yep, that's how it works.  Then she walked and jogged to the hospital - I totally could have done that too.  No problem.

But that's not even the shocking part.  The shocking part is that no one knew she was pregnant.  How does this happen?  How does a girl live in her parents' house and no one notices that she is vomiting, eating a ton and gaining somewhere between 20 and 60 pounds?  I have just made a promise to myself that if my teen ever gets pregnant, I will endeavor to notice it.

5 months

We made it.  Scarlett is 5-months-old today and we made it.  So far.  This is not the easiest thing I have ever done, at 22-months apart, these two are a handful.  But I love 'em, and hope that one day, down the road, they play together quietly so that Chris and I can relax and drink margaritas.

Ridiculous.

Do you watch Lost?  Please tell me why Claire, who has an about-4-month-old, would bottle feed her baby?

SHE'S TRAPPED ON A DESERT ISLAND AND IS BOTTLE-FEEDING, PEOPLE!!!!!

Would it kill the networks to once show a breastfeeding mother?  Especially since, you know, SHE'S ON A DESERT ISLAND.

You think she searched the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815, and was just so relieved to find some Playtex Drop-ins?  Oh, and, you would think that next to the supply of bottles and formula, there would be a onesie or maybe a t-shirt or something.  You only ever see that baby wrapped in a blanket.  Who would run around an island, while being chased by the Others and other nefarious types, carrying your baby in your arms, wrapped in a blanket?  She'd totally have fashioned a sling by now.

Argh.
