Email: Poop
Hey Heather,
Few people in the world will find this amusing...thought you might be one of them. A co-worker told me 5 minutes ago that she was uber constipated while pregnant due to her triple dose of iron pills and the fact that pooping is a chore for her to begin with. While giving birth -- not sure if it was at the same time or just during labor -- her contractions helped her poop along the way. Well, her daughter weighed in at 5lbs and THE PILE OF SHIT WAS 10 lbs!  The nurses actually weighed it because they thought it was so funny! Unreal.

(DOOCE NOTE: That woman may just beat me when it comes to the contest of constipation. And pooping during labor is MUCH more common than people are willing to admit. I am not willing to admit that I pooped three times during labor, because admitting that would be gross. And this website is totally not about being gross. Or about poop.)

- I know zero about sports, but my entire heart is screaming, "Go Saints! Go Saints!" I am a stereotypical woman. TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE, JON!
- Marlo has a tooth! So says the blood that she drew when she grabbed my hand and tried to gnaw off my thumb!
- Leta won't eat her birthday cake. I guess we should have made it out of chicken nuggets and iced it with refried beans.
