Here are some well-documented and 100% verifiable pictures from the Shotsnaps Vault of me exercising the day after Annie was born.

This why advice from any baby book, no matter what the copyright, must be taken with a grain (pinch, handful) of salt. I can attest that my 196- copy of Dr. Spock was no better. I can vouch that some of the advice in that there book of yours was most definitely followed. My poor mother struggled valiantly to keep her weight within the proper bounds, even though, unbeknownst to her or her doctor, she was carrying twins. And I know my DH was fed a formula that contained cow's milk and corn syrup. When it was decided he was allergic to cow's milk, the family bought a goat.

As for the garden--grow herbs in pots. You CAN take them with you, and they will liven up your store-bought produce with a fresh from the garden taste.

All I have to say about those pictures: Ouch (!!!).

My mom says that when she was born (she was a preemie), the doctors told her mother not to nurse--it wouldn't give enough nutrition--but to put her on formula instead (a MUCH wiser idea, especially in 1962 with all the up-to-date and Modern nutritional information...).

And of course today they say that such practice is NONSENSE.

Comfortingly enough, all babies seem to make it ok anyhow.

Abby-the first post made me laugh-but this picture and your comment made me laugh so hard Corynn came over and said, "That funny, Mama? What's funny that?" Translation: THAT'S funny Mama? What the heck is WRONG with you!?!?!"

Kathy,
As I read the book, I laughed and groaned, all the while sure that some of the things that are presently recommended will cause mothers fifty years from now to laugh and groan. Yet another reason, I believe, to keep things as uncomplicated as possible, for there's no denying that God has designed us marvelously!

Herbs...great idea. Now I'm not quite so blue thinking about lacking green.

a.l.,
I second your ouch, but doesn't she look "sylphlike?" Um...I mean, don't I look sylphlike?

Rebecca,
What's there to laugh about? You're so weird... :)
