Oh my gosh, Shades! I'm crying over here. I'll have to show these to Steve. LOL!!!

Darn, and I was hoping I could get him to nurse the baby... :D

My daughter and I like that. in my opinion, the wheel of responsibility would come in handy.

I love how every last one of those "dos and don'ts" the Somethingawful.com watermark has been edited out. Photoshop Phriday FTW!

Mine too. She especially liked the one of the baby in the grocery cart the wrong way.

LOL, I was gonna wear a bikini during my pregnancy, but not a thong. I do NOT like the feeling of something riding up my butt...

There are actually a few "don'ts" that I may have done. Not saying which ones.

But the kids seem to have survived my parenting so far. I figure what doesn't kill them only makes them stronger.

Can Steve nurse the baby? Seriously, because 2 am feedings are scary to me...

Sorta - just pump a bit, stick it in the fridge and let him warm it up to give to the little critter (warm up under running hot water, never in the microwave - that kills off the nutrients).

If you're lucky like me, you can doze and nurse at the same time (should I tell you how my oldest would "self serve" nurse during the night, sometimes without me having to wake up all the way? it might be TMI).

The 2am feedings aren't that bad. Besides, as your pregnancy progresses, you'll be getting up around then to pee (assuming you can even sleep), so your body will be used to the sleep disruption.

Good times!
