Because I'm in a 'talking about birth/parenting' kind of mood

[sdwolfpup]

Some blogs and blog posts and blog excerpts from all over that have been on my mind lately:

1. This paragraph from this post at Courtroommama: Here’s a bit of nuance that I think will be lost on Belkin: there is an ideal way to give birth, but not a right procedure. The right way is the way that leaves the mother feeling at peace with the birth.

When I have more time I will have to check more of these out! Perhaps your birth/parenting mood is partially inspired by my recent "activities." :) -N

Yes I imagine that has something to do with it! :)

Oh honey, that was never going to happen. Hee.

It is shockingly intense. And that ending! OMG!

Your Spidey icon reminds me...when Maggie was little she somehow learned to shimmy up the doorjamb into the kitchen & hover at the top to watch me cook. I'd be leaning over & looking into the oven & I'd hear HI MOM! from behind me. Heart Attack city for me. I was certain she'd end up falling into the stove. Thankfully she outgrew this behavior.

Parenting is fun!

Oh good lord. I do not look forward to what shenanigans Puplet is going to get up to.

Thanks for the links.

I have a nodding acquaintance with Lisa Belkin online, and she's a really nice person. But that particular article was just... ick.

Yeah, not a high point. I'm glad to hear that she's a nice person!
