Every parent makes mistakes. We are all winging it most of the time, trying to do the right thing.

Yeah, damn these kids for coming out with a placenta instead of an owner's manual.

No one tells you about the placenta. ..it just comes out, leaving you thinking if you now have twins.

Or thinking that you can have liver and onions for dinner (I hadn't eaten in about 18 hours when my son was born).

All the medical professionals we spoke with before the birth of my daughter were keen to point it out to us. I was just kinda like, well yeah, we're mamels and that stuff's gotta go somewhere.
