HA! It's still one of her favorite bath toys.

Daphne, Jana, Mama Duck, Misfit, and Bill William, you're IT! Keep this one going!

Thanks for not ignoring my tag :)

I also learned something new today-- screw expensive bath toys! I'm getting a peri-bottle!

Um, what is a peri-bottle?

[Mama Duck]

Holy cow...my 23rd post? Hmmmm, that was ages ago...I'll start digging now!

[mrtl]

jomama - How to put this delicately?

If you're doing a natural childbirth, the hospital will give you one. It's filled with warm water and used in lieu of toilet paper for a while.

Mama Duck - A different kind of blast from the past!

[lori]

Peri-bottle - made me laugh. They ARE the best bath toys. And useful too.

[jana]

Peri-bottles. I loved my peri-bottle!!! It was such a great change from that ice pack I had in between my legs for 2 days.

This is interesting!

[mrtl]

lori - Very functional! We use it constantly. It's great for rinsing hair and suds (Bug hates the shower).

Jana - Two days?? UGH! I remember only having that for the first several hours.

Funny (it's all relative) side story... I kept complaining that the nurse had packed too much gauze and stuff down there and it was uncomfortable to sit. Yeah, it was me. The swelling. Why they didn't tell me that I don't know.

Thanks for the enlightening post mrtl. When I first saw "peri-bottle" I thought it was "periwinkle" and I thought "how delightful, she must be writing about butterflies or gemstones."

...And then I read your comments and learned it was "peri-bottle" and that said item is *not* something whimsical or delicate, but rather something you stick in your ass crack.

And that's why I love this blog.

[mrtl]

Hänni - Look at it as a portable bedet. It's a good thing.

[suburban misfit]

DOH!

BTW, I use my peri-bottle (never used for the intended purpose) in the kitchen as a great all-purpose squirter.

Vinaigrettes, sauces for presentation, water for squirting the oven during bread baking.

But I SWEAR mine NEVER saw my hoo-haw.

[RazDreams]

no, really. f' schizzle. should i be grossed out?!

[mrtl]

misfit - I've never heard of squirting the oven with a peri-bottle during bread baking. Are you weird? ;)

Raz - No. The peri-bottle brings much relief. After birthing a baby, the last thing a woman would want to do is wipe.

[Amanda B.]

High on fudge. Can't. Speak. :D

[mrtl]

Amanda - I'm caving. I have more in the fridge, and I'm going to go cut it.

[RazDreams]

amanda b.: i'm right there wit' ya. we should name our batch "hurricane rita fudge." it's some bitchin' good fudge, eh?

[mrtl]

Raz - That would be appropriate, as your batch had no nuts.

[mrtl]

Shit - maybe not. Amanda's didn't have nuts, but yours did...

oh well.
