I covered a good deal of this in my introductory post in the Newbie Nursery, but I kind of glossed over it. Acceptance was for me a rather long and torturous process.

If I may say a word or two regarding smileys....

Lovely! Can I bring my dollies?

The sensation

Bottles, most assuredly. I'd love some, especially to drink from when I go to bed (though I think I'd put water in it rather than milk or juice, since I wouldn't want anything that goes bad easily from sitting out all night). I have one serious complication, however, in the form of the home-health aides who come in to help with my personal care (I have cerebral palsy and am in a wheelchair). The diapers are easy to explain away because my disability has caused me to be incontinent, and I've even told a few caregivers about the pacifiers, saying I needed them to help me sleep (which is at least partially true). They weren't bothered by my stuffed animals eitiher (adult women do collect those, after all).

Northeast Wisconsin here. Maybe we all should get together....

Hi folks,
