Chuck is the cutest! If you decided to sell pics of him, I would buy a magnet (or something)with the picture of him with the flowery baby towel on his head. That was the best!
On the subject of pooping: I pooped several times when pushing. It was bad enough that the nurses and Dr. had to see, but my Hubby saw too. Ugh, I sure hope he doesn't remember! I know I'll never forget it!

i live in oklahoma, and our grass is NEVER that green and fluffy. great shot - so glad you're doing this daily!

What I want to know is, how can you have a dog and lovely grass? My yard looks like I'm running cattle through it instead of 2.5 hounds.

is your grass really that green or is that a PS maneuver? dag. thats some green grass. mine is sorta a sad money color. i feel inspired to seed it now. and to get a dog.

Chuck is cool! He would love my dog, Ginger. We rescued her and she nearly died from distemper, but she's doing great now. My sister-in-law is a labor and delivery nurse, and she says nurses don't even notice when a laboring mom poops. She said they just swipe it out of the way and move on. She was my nurse when I had all 4 of my kids, and I asked her how much I pooped when I had mine. She just smiled that enigmatic smile of hers and told me not to worry about it. I don't think that's a good sign at all. ;P

Chuck is so handsome... Back to the pooping issue. Yes... more women poop when they are pushing out their babies than not. Its not about loss of control as much as the rectum getting so squashed with the pressure of the descending head. There is not enough room in your lower pelvis for poop AND a baby's head! But it really isn't an issue for those attending the birth... so don't be scared ladies.. just PUSH AS HARD AS YOU CAN!!!! Is there any job more worthwhile than pushing your baby into the world??

Chuck is the coolest dog ever.

I really like that picture because it looks like you're spying on him from behind the bushes.

Have to add my poop story! When going through labor with "Tiny E", I was bearing down while going through contractions and trying to walk from the hot tub to the delivery room. During one contraction, I pooped right there in the hallway. Wait it gets better! In addition to the nurses, my OB and husband who witnessed the lovely event was the birth class who were just letting out from their weekly class. Very educational for those couples!

I didn't mean to come across as the spaghetti was a bad thing. I think it's funny...if I ever have spaghetti, and remember to do it, I'm gonna wrap my dog's snouts.

Regardless, he's a lucky dog to be so loved.

Love you. Love your baby. Love your dog. Love your site. Would you consider adopting an almost 37 year old chick? I hardly ever bleat.

One time I woke up on the couch at 5 a.m. with the TV on and my hand in a bag of Fritos. I was, I believe, still drunk.

Three days later at work, I checked my pocket and found a Frito in it.

I didn't eat it. But part of me wishes I had.

Uh, beachgal? He's lucky BECAUSE she wraps spaghetti around his snout.

All the poop talk is hilarious. Wonder what kind of Google ads these comments will cause...

Chuck, as always, is a totally handsome guy. He has such human expressions on his face.

Dude, I am so with you, introverted! Who knew?

Anyway, great pic, I'm digging the redesign! And I'm getting a good giggle out of the google ads too. The best is the ad for LDS personals!

Good Good, why is it no one has mentioned this pooping-during-labor business before?!?! For preparatory purposes, I am an avid "A Baby Story" watcher on TLC-- there is no mention of this. This adds a whole new ugly side to the process, which is already pretty nasty. Geez, what doesn't come out of those two orifice(s) during labor & delivery?! I need to RE-think this whole baby business.
