I'm not as big of a neat freak as Kim, but the shoes everywhere would drive me nuts. My husband has pretty big feet, size 13, and his shoes weigh a freaking ton and are hard to step around. No lie, I broke my baby toe on a pair of his dress shoes once. I assume Kris' shoes are bigger, heavier, and even more of an impediment.
You're right, I think people are reacting so strongly because they don't realize that you want to treat every little trivial problem a baby has because a little trivial problem makes a baby SCREAM. No, homeopathic remedies won't cure cancer or mental illness or fevers. But Hyland's homeopathic teething gel with chamomile works just as well as Baby Orajel on my baby, because chamomile has a mild numbing effect. My little one hasn't had an ear infection yet, but I will definitely use a little garlic oil to comfort her when she does. It's not a cure. It's comfort. And Fenugreek absolutely makes your milk pour in. It's crazy.
Sidenote: Have you also tried coconut oil for diaper rash? It also works amazingly well - far better than any of the medicated pastes in my experience.
Love this comment.
Yeah, we declined Hep B on day 1, and she got it at her 2 month appointment. There was no way she was going to get Hep B in the interim, and she had already been through so much and was jaundiced... it just seemed so unnecessary.
Maybe it's because I live in hippy-drippy Colorado, but I'm shocked by how people are reacting to the bit about delayed vax schedules and homeopathic remedies. Those things are the norm here, and while I'm totally against people who don't vaccinate their kids, I have no issue with those who do it a bit more slowly. Some kids have get awfully sick from the vaccines.
The use of garlic oil to reduce pain in ear infections has been supported in double blind studies. Here's a link: [www.med.nyu.edu] I think that most of the homeopathic remedies are thought to provide comfort while the body works things out on its own.
We got Violet, the girl version of Scout for Christmas, and my husband and I have to actively try to stop saying our daughter's name in the Violet voice. "I'm sleepy, Li-La." "I love you, Li-La."
The chicken pox vaccine is a live virus vaccine, so it is still possible to get shingles. In fact, at least one study has linked the vaccine to additional shingles cases.
Do you want to collect Social Security when you're old? Do you want a nurse to wipe your ass when you become bedridden and incontinent? If so, then at least some of us had better have some children.
I agree. The O.J. trial split the Kardashians. Kris sat with the Browns during the trial ads her ex-husband sat next to the accused. How could her memoir exclude that?
Nick Cannon is definitely one of those rare people who is all happiness and sunshine and enthusiasm without being annoying. He seems like someone I'd like to hang around, and I bet he's the funnest dad ever.
Jay Mohr needs to be a permanent fixture on WWHL. They could make it an hour long and have Jay and Andy as co-hosts. Current scientific knowledge cannot explain why Jay Mohr works so well on that show. He just does.
I'm also about 5 weeks postpartum, and I can't say I've never called my husband on the cellphone to come down or upstairs to hand me my water because it was out of reach and I was dyyying of thirst.
I don't recall any real fights either yet. Maybe a little sniping here and there, but nothing too awful.

I know. I got some Vicodin (acetaminophen plus oxycodone) on Monday for the only migraine of my pregnancy. I'm not going to lie, t was pretty heavenly once the migraine subsided. When you haven't had more than a tiny glass of wine for nine months, Vicodin really takes the edge off. :)
It is definitely one of the first things they tell you when you get pregnant. Fucking tylenol is a joke, too.
The nice thing is that most women don't get migraines while pregnant. I typically get one a month, but I only have gotten one through my entire pregnancy. (I'm due tomorrow.) That one occurred on Monday, and I wound up having to go to the hospital to be checked for preeclampsia due to the headache anyway. They gave me Vicodin. It was nice.
There was a moment early in my pregnancy when I looked at my bare chest and saw that basically overnight someone had come in and switched the breasts I'd had for my entire adulthood with my mother's breasts. They had almost nothing in common with my breasts. It was both disconcerting and disheartening, especially when I went to Nordstrom to get some new bras for my new jugs and was presented with bras that look just like the ones my mother wears.
I'm due to give birth any day now, and I'm holding off on buying maternity bras until my milk comes in and we see what other horrific transformations my breasts accomplish, but I think it's safe to say I'll be picking up one or two of these lovelies just so that I feel like myself again. Feeling sexy would be nice, but I'm not counting on it.
I get what you're saying - that you wish there was a time when society wasn't telling us we should be sexy. But if you're in a relationship/partnership with another person, you want to feel sexy sometimes. And it's pretty impossible when you look down at your shirtless body and see your mom's breasts and bra.

I love Holly. She is the only reasonable person on this show, except that she understandably has a little blind spot when it comes to her daughter's dancing. I don't think Nia is really on the level of the other girls, but Abby should probably solve that by not having her compete until she pulls her technique together, not by barking at her.
Whore. :) I've tried it before and found it to be possible, but it's just easier the other way and it's not like it takes a long time.
How else would one put on a bra?
I completely agree. It does help to run the shower on cold while people are going. (Also a nice white noise so that others don't have to listen to the sounds.) Something about the running water helps move the smells through the air.
