I never thought I’d like Tori Spelling buuuut she’s starting to grow on me for defending Jessica Simpson. Can you believe she’s pregnant again with #4 ONE MONTH after giving birth? I do NOT envy that woman.

Have you ever heard of niplash? Have you had it? OUCH!
‎“NIPLASH n. [Fr. nipple + whiplash]: When a baby decides not to take a break from nursing and suddenly and energetically jerks her head around to look up down and all around the room (still firmly latched onto your boob).”

Need some good humor? Just caught up on my Jason Good – love this guy!
“The children had won, and I didn’t even realize it was a competition. Had I been the only adult on that island in Lord of the Flies, I would have been the children’s water bitch within the first 3 hours.”
Love it. And more…
So funny! My favorite part, “My wife wanted to come in and take a picture, but I’d locked the door. It’s simply too pathetic looking. Picture two small boys in the tub together– very cute. Now mentally take out Silas (40 inches and 36 pounds) and add me (80 inches, 200 pounds). Not cute. In fact, it looks like a child is being held hostage by an animatronic birch tree.”

My fav things on his list of things you get to do after having children:

  1. Give yourself a crotch bath with baby wipes.
  2. Apologize for how long it’s taking you to hand-peel the skin off a scalding hot-dog.
  3. Send this text to a single friend: “Sorry, that was actually my kid who called you at 6:30am. How you been?” and never get a response.
  4. Pretend you’re terrible at soccer.
  5. Finish someone else’s cereal.
  6. Chase someone at full speed through Home Depot.
  7. Watch a pediatrician’s blood pressure rise when you mention reading something on The Internet.
  8. Bribe someone to pee with a grape seed oil infused pomegranate flavored gummy bear from Whole Foods.

Who else used vitamin gummy bears to potty train?? Hilarious!

Thursday! Yay! It is almost the weekend!

How can I be this worn out from looking for a new place to live? I guess that’s why they have people you pay to do this. (I’m loving Pad Mapper right now. Best tag line ever: Making Apartment Hunting Suck Less.) After spending entirely too long filling out yet ANOTHER paper application and sending in my credit report, copy of ID, and all that jazz, I’m savoring some Half Baked ice cream and catching up on my blogging. Here are some interesting posts worth reading. Want more? Click here to check out my other recent Sweet Links posts.

Enjoy!

Let’s start off with some good news…

“There has been an ongoing dispute about the legitimacy of the content put out by Fox News. Between the amount of complaints and discredited stories by varying myth-busting sources, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now reclassified Fox News from a valid news source to that of satire.

The decision to classify Fox News as satire has come after several years of evaluation regarding the sources of their reporting, and the bias of their programming. While much of their content is based on legitimate news, it is spun is a way that cannot not be deemed newsworthy to the viewing public. If Fox News so chooses to report actual news stories of legitimacy without skewing the content we may overturn our decision and reclassify the network to a valid news source once again.”

We should not accept things because they’re on the news or in print. It all seems to become more clear as the years go on. The lies. The prejudice, The discrimination.

Good news! A win for normalizing breastfeeding in public!

Airline settlement fuels the national breast-feeding fight - By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY

“And after an exhausting day of air travel and flight delays, nursing also can help keep babies calm on a plane. “Everyone should be happy when the baby is asleep,” says Gillette, of Santa Fe.

That’s why Gillette was shocked when she was kicked off a flight in 2006 for quietly nursing her tired and hungry daughter before takeoff and refusing to cover herself with a blanket provided by a flight attendant. “We really felt we had our rights totally stripped,” says Gillette, now a mother of three.” Read more at USA Today.

And in an updated USA Today article, Gillette is quoted, “I am relieved that this long ordeal is now over but hope that the outcome is much more than a story about one case of discrimination,” Gillette said in a statement. “I hope my experience and how I was treated helps raise awareness of this important health benefit for children and nursing mothers.”

Yay for breastfeeding!

And your birth story of the day:

Planned Home VBAC Turned Hospital Birth- An Story of Dissapointment and Triumph

by Mama Birth
I am so thankful that my HBAC didn’t turn into a hospital transfer and birth but if it had, I wish I could have been as strong as this mama.
And I love this photo by Katelyn Demidow!
It almost makes me want to be pregnant again just so I can take more ethereal pregnancy photos.
Goodnight!
