What is the best formula bottle for babies?
I have been a first time mother for two months now, and have tried both ways to feed my baby: breastfeeding and formula bottle feeding. Unfortunately, I ended up in the ER due to severe food poisoning, which resulted in me having to take antibiotics that stopped me from being able to breastfeed. This meant that my baby had to switch to just being formula fed, which was okay, since I was breastfeeding and formula feeding her anyway.

The perfect marriage
My eyes were closing, as I was drifting off into a deep slumber on my couch again. The television was still on, bright as ever in a dark room, and all I could hear was the laughter booming from talk show that once had my interest. I could feel myself losing grip of the glass of wine I had in my hand, as I was feeling more relaxed and light as a feather. There it was, the feeling of sleepiness leading me into a deep, dark hole that I would not be able to get out of.

It's always good to re-watch an old series, especially when it feels like you are watching it again for the first time. The TV show Desperate Housewives was very popular in the 2000's, and I watched it as a kid, not really understanding what was going on. But now as an adult, you do catch on with what's going on and also have an opinion about everything.
