He's the boston terrier laying on the cream and white mat.
ETA I commented, couldn't resist...
Ha... haha...
I can only assume she meant an episiotomy...
On a slightly related note, does it bug anyone else how illiterate the newer generations are ending up?

Unless she's a really gracious, patient person, I think she'd feel her parenting was being criticized and be defensive. I wouldn't do it.
I feel slightly ungrateful by saying this, but my office is planning to do a baby shower for me, and my boss (who is socially awkward anyway, to say the least) has more than once asked if a coworker and I have set a date for the shower.
It made me really uncomfortable the first two times and I made a comment about how I wasn't really involved in any of it, and was just letting coworker(s) take the lead.
Today she asked me to come up with 2-3 dates that I would like for the shower and also a list of anyone outside of our department who I think should be invited. She also asked if I thought lunch time was appropriate.
I find this so odd and it makes me so uncomfortable. I don't want to plan my own baby shower, even my own work baby shower. Just to be clear, we have a relatively small department and most of my coworkers should be able to jump in and invite other people if they think it's appropriate.
Ugh. I think it's really sweet that they want to plan a shower for me... it's just... then plan the shower for me. Don't make me do it!
Really? Any other time we've done a shower or party for someone in the office, it's a total surprise. Like, someone books a 'fake' meeting to get the person there and they know nothing... it's all kept a big secret from the person.
Maybe that is just how my office does it.
Either way I feel awkward telling them who should be invited. These are coworkers, not family members.

@ugabamafans - No, it's OK. I get what you were saying in your other post and I probably wouldn't have thought much of it if this conversation didn't just happen -
[boss interrupts my meeting with coworker #1]
Boss: Oh, good, since you are both here... Lest12, Coworker #1 and I were planning on throwing you a shower, but My Boss told me that you were already planning it with Coworker #2.
Me: No, I mean, Coworker #2 mentioned something to me but I was kind of just letting him figure it out...
Boss: Well, then I will talk to Coworker #2 and let him know that I want to start planning something.
[Boss leaves, and goes to talk to Coworker #2. Comes and interrupts our meeting again]
Boss: Well, I spoke to Coworker #2 and he said he was going to plan something but didn't have time to do it until later this week, so I'd rather Coworker #1 and I do it. Could you send the meantime, could you send Admin a list of 3 or 4 dates that work for you, as well as a list of anyone outside the office you want to invite?
**** So, I think it's safe to say that it's how she did it that made me uncomfortable, in front of my coworker, rather than just asking me privately or something.
And for candles, they really aren't that great for you either. Something about the soot they put off. And they don't smell near as good

You sound like you are a cautious person(which is a good thing). I did only use a little bit
I also have friends that will put Vicks vapor rub in the warmer for colds and stuff. They say they sleep better than when putting it into a vaporizer because of the noise.
