I know it seems like I have fallen off the face of the earth since The Deuce has been born. You would think it is because I have been so busy with a two year old and a new baby – but NO! I can never resist a good bandwagon to jump on and I jumped onto this one:

Dammit Edward Cullen, why aren’t you real????? I read all 4 books in the days after having The Deuce – thankfully the kid sleeps – a lot.
I think my first Mom time off from having The Deuce I may just have to go see the movie IN THE THEATER.
Now in other bitching and moaning (because I know that’s what you come here for):
- What is with the plastic weave on maxi pads? Maybe they are fine for regular people, but post baby and stitches they are a complete nightmare. My stitches got caught in the damn weave and one of them pulled out. Can you say OUCH? Also plastic weave seems to lend itself to a little swamp crotch. There is nothing good about it post-pregnancy.
- The Dictator used Nestle Baby Formula with no problems at all. Same formula makes The Deuce have the runs, inconsolable gas and an all around bad attitude*. Switched to Similac at the Doc’s recommendation and she has been a reasonable baby ever since. *according to The Dictator – he is all about Good and Bad Attitudes. Apparently Tow-Mater had a good attitude, and Lightning McQueen has a bad attitude.
- I can now add a fourth division to the laundry pile. It used to just be colors, whites and linens. Now I can add PINKS. Yes there is that much pink to wash in this house.
- I can now properly clean my shower with some NASTY CHEMICALS since I am no longer pregnant. Yay Me.
So off I go to clean the shower before The Deuce gets up from her nap. Which should be soon since the kid eats every 90 minutes in the last couple of days…. But first a little holiday cuteness: 

OMG THE SQUEEZY PINK VELOUR!! MUST SQUEEZE!! MUST SQUEEZE!!
Ok so first CUTE! Second, I don’t do the book reading thing. I refer to magazines as my books BUT I caved and am currently reading the Twilight Series. Soooo much teen angst, yet soo addicted. I am almost done Eclipse and I only got the set on Sunday of last week. That says a lot about my parenting skills huh!
Glad to hear that other than a little stitch removal by your pad things are going well!!
Maybe we should meet in Red Deer and Twilight it up. Does Red Deer even have a movie theater?
The cuteness of both kids is over whelming!
Glad to hear you’re doing well…except for the maxi weave / stitch removal thingy. OUCH!!
Ah, she’s SO cute!!! The first one’s pretty adorable, too.
I also have a separate laundry load of pinks. It’s embarrassing.
I feel like I’m 1,000 years old, but I don’t really even know what Twilight is, though I see/hear/read about it everywhere these days. Some kind of teenage vampire thing? I get my fill of teen angst from Gossip Girl, I should probably steer clear of a new addiction!
Congrats again on little Audrey! I expect many posts detailing *exactly* what it’s like to go from 1 to 2.
SO CUTE!!!
Post-pregnancy does indeed suck. Hang in there – as you know, it doesn’t last forever.
OMG, that pink outfit is so fuzzy and cute! She looks like a little pink bunny rabbit!
Can’t remember how I found you but I had to say Twilight was an awesome read! I really enjoyed them and I too am an Edward fan. The movie was good, can’t wait for the next ones.
Your kids are cute!
