Monday Open Thread
Monday, November 8, 2010 at 3:00PM
This Monday’s overdue open thread is hosted by my sweet Three Wolf Moon shirt (Note: Read the product reviews). What will the powers of my favorite internet meme do for maternity care in the U.S. and beyond?

Wolf Shirt bonded w/ my unovulated eggs and then protected me through my whole pregnancy. I might have been eaten by my vampire boyfriend if not for Wolf Shirt. Unfortunately, Wolf Shirt does not prevent fang-cesarean.
ACOG changed their logo to the Three Wolves and the cesarean rate dropped to 22% that week.
Sitting side saddle so my wolves would show! JILL, I HAVE HOMEWORK. It is due at midnight. Like, tonight. And insteaad I am going to be snickering like a naughty schoolgirl over these reviews all night.
I'm glad we didn't go to high school together.
Three wolf moon shirt answers random troll-y comments without your ever having to type a word.
MomTFH, I am going to put the shirt on RIGHT NOW!
You know I'm going to wear this when I visit you in a few months, right? By then I'll have it fancied up with some fringe.
Clearly my midwife was missing an item from her homebirth supply list . . . This explains sooooo much :)
Three Wolf Moon shirt can help deliver your hybrid hellspawn by ripping through your amniotic sac with his teeth - but won't push a vampire cesarean first. You can totally birth naturally first, assuming you have the vampire strength to push out your vampire baby.
Also, Three Wolf Moon shirt has some great deals on Louboutin boots.
I arrived at the hospital in labor. The triage nurse told me that I was 4 centimeters so she admitted me. Things were going along well, but I got tired. Really tired. I decided to get an epidural to get some rest and a break from contractions.
After a few hours, it was almost dinner time and I started getting hints from the staff that the doctor was really wanting to deliver this baby, one way or the other. Fortunately, my husband remembered the Three Wolf Moon shirt we had stashed in the hospital bag. We cut a slit in the back and awkwardly slid the shirt over the iv and monitors and, lo, I felt no pain. The epidural catheter fell out of my back and I found myself on all fours. I went from supine to lupine in less than one second. The power of the shirt filled me and the staff were as if blinded by its presence. With one last growl, I pushed that baby into her father's hands.
Thank you, Three Wolf Moon Shirt!
Oh, Jill, you will have to to cut the sleeves into fringe and knot little plastic beads onto the strands.
Too. hot. for Miami to handle.
I just have to say thank you. I needed that laugh, and I will be sharing it with anyone I can think of.
Yes! My holiday shopping is DONE! Thank you, Jill-- you are truly the gift that keeps on giving.
"I went from supine to lupine in less than one second." Ms. Swan, you rock.
In other news, I did doula training last week with Debra Pascali-Bonaro-- awesome. I am now seeking doula clients in NYC, y'all! I will wear this t-shirt and your birth will kick ass!
Should I decide to try for another baby (2 is enough for the moment) I will totally be buying this shirt for my HBA2C, by golly, I can't fail! LOL
Supine to Lupine is awesome, Ms. Swan.

Find it on etsy - Three Wolf Boob nursing tops with upper left flap panel - having three wolves howl at your boob is shown to boost supply.
I found this prose on a birch bark tablet in a recent archeological dig in Plymouth MA where the Wampanoag once lived and birthed their babies:
"One wolf cries for all the food that will be eliminated from the normal labor suite many moons from now~
The second wolf cries for all the vbacs that will no longer take place at Jordan Hospital located just 8 miles away from this sacred site, and the third wolf cries for the water birth suite they did away with at Jordan Hospital as well. All lament and cry for the future wise tribal members~ who will restore a variety of birth options for low risk pregnant women? Hoooooowwwwwwwlllllllllllllll.
I love all of you.
I just looked at the Wikipedia page again and read this: "German scholar Melvin Haack considers it to be a notable example of a redneck joke."
Wondering how a German scholar decides to study redneck jokes, I searched for Haack. He says in his paper, Redneck Jokes as a Subcultural Phenomenon, that he lived as an exchange student in Atlanta for his research on redneck jokes and calls himself a "zesty linguist." JMT, as a zesty linguist, can you tell me if this thing is real?
Saanen Mother, I'm positive I read that at Plimouth Plantation. Actually, I was the one that found it. I sniffed it out and dug it up while wearing my TWM shirt.
you know who else likes wolfy moon shirts don't you??? He's so hot he's making me sexist!

All I have to say is that this t-shirt had better come with some awesome malpractice insurance.
"calls himself a 'zesty linguist.'"
Something is lost in translation. He doens't mean "zesty." He means "cunning."
Smrt Mama... of course! That's probably a common German-to-English translation error. You should contact him.
