I, too, am a non-breeder.

I post on the Parents' board for reasons similar to why people climb mountains.

The Nazis conscripted you into the Austrian Navy?

Bored, best in-town friend pregnant, best overall friend going to be trying soon, always need someone to mock.

Honesty is the best policy fringe. I've asked fringe to become my 6th Wife. She'll have to pass a fertility test, of course, and also her hymen must be intact, but otherwise its a go.

I'd estimate 10 months till fringe is telling morning sickness stories here.

AND no jokes about her being "nauseous at night" before that, Atticus, you wag.

Yes, and I feel horrible about it.

But I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.

I have never seen the pregnancy spots -- but I have seen the parking spots designated for those with infants near the door at the grocery store.

Verrrrrry interesting.

That movie taught me that the demoralizing aspects of living under a totalitarian state can be counteracted by thinking about kitten whiskers and crisp apple strudels.

It got me through the Reagan administration.

Some pregnant women have nice asses. You can't tell which ones unless you check out pregnant women's asses as a blanket rule.

that had to be getting less effective by '86 or '87 though, right? bet you're glad you got West Wing now.

After the Whiffenpoofs performed in an episode, the West Wing has probably become unwatchable for Atticus.

Just a quick note to cheer the new and soon-to-be-new parents:

More stitches today, and a possible concussion.

That's five ER trips in two months. (Not all one kid.)

And the boys are even worse . . .

First, my sympathies - trips to emergency are traumatic for everyone.
Second, WHAT were the kids doing to achieve all these trips in such a short time??
Native son took one ambulance ride at 6 weeks old and that scared me enough to put him in a bubble the rest of his life.

Bilmore, time to dish the dirt.

Sounds like hockey season in the great white north.

Don't worry, the season's almost over. (And then it's time for horseback riding....).

I sympathize.

Bilmore's med insurance
 

Hmmm . . .

(You're not social services, right?)

Last five:

1. Snowboarding - collision with rail (broken arm, stitches)
2. Wrestling with friend - collision with concrete wall corner (stitches).
3. Snowboarding - collision with other snowboarder (stitches).
4. Brothers wrestling on stairs (broken arm.)
5. Found old barbed wire fence in the woods (stitches).

Trips to the ER are no longer traumatic. One son in particular can now look at his wounds and accurately estimate the number of stitches needed, how many pokes with the novocaine needle, etc. We now know to bring books, homework, etc. with us. When a son recently spent a weekend at a family friend's new cabin, we gave them a housewarming present of a big first aid kit. They laughed. And then, they got the chance to use it that weekend.

Aren't a few of them in casts? How can a kid in a cast be reckless enough to need stitches? Have you heard from CPS yet?

On the parking lot issue--
The only pregger spots I ever saw were at Babies R Us. After the kids were born I looked for spaces near the cart corral, so I could get rid of the cart without leaving the baby alone in the car.
