The Dock-A-Tot works equally well as a Dock-A-Cat when your cat weighs more than a small child.

Now I’ve gotten so severe at the swaddle it’s leaving imprints on her arms (ok? not ok?). Wish this was a video so her farts were captured - she lets loose every time the swaddle is undone (again: ok? not ok?).

25 days down, the rest of my life to go. Now her crying is only like nails scratching my eyes out, compared to the ripping out of my heart from the first 2 weeks... so, this is progress?

The two most traumatic parts of giving birth: 1) an IV in my hand for 24hrs+ that I had to hide from myself w a cut-up sock and 2) being left alone w a baby to learn breastfeeding (not pleasant nor intuitive). Also note my flattering compression socks in the background - why the F do I still look pregnant after this ordeal?
