\n Kristine:<\/font><\/b>
\n you’d freak out if I brought milk home in a coke bottle wouldn’t you?
\n Brian: <\/b><\/font>hmm
\n Brian: <\/b><\/font>well
\n Brian:<\/b><\/font> r u serious?
\n Kristine: <\/font><\/b>well yes
\n Kristine: <\/font><\/b>i just finished a coke
\n Brian: <\/b><\/font>if you rinse it out extremely
\n well
\n Brian:<\/b><\/font> keeping in mind that the bathroom
\n is a VERY contaminated place
\n Brian: <\/b><\/font>and all surfaces could be potentially
\n full of germs
\n Brian:<\/b><\/font> and be very careful in washing
\n your hands before rinsing the coke bottle
\n Brian:<\/b><\/font> being very careful not to touch
\n the lid of the coke bottle on the spicket or any other surface
\n Brian: <\/font><\/b>or better yet if you have access
\n to a sink outside of the bathroom
\n Brian:<\/font><\/b> you could rinse out the coke
\n bottle there
\n Brian: <\/font><\/b>again assuming that everything
\n (including the knobs to turn\/off the water) are highly contaminated
\n Brian: <\/font><\/b>if all these precautions are
\n in place, i would be OK with milk in coke bottle
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> April’s and I are laughing…
\n but I’m hapy to tell you that I use the kitchen sink
\n Brian:<\/b> <\/font>i’m glad i could lighten up the
\n afternoon, but you need to exercise due precaution when handling our baby’s
\n milk
\n Kristine: <\/b><\/font>which is so much less contaminated
\n Brian: <\/font><\/b>BUT you should assume that it
\n could<\/em> be contaminated by someone with SARS or the flu or maybe
\n just a cold
\n Kristine: <\/b><\/font>lol
\n Kristine: <\/font><\/b>ok, will do
\n Kristine:<\/font><\/b> going to wash out my bottle
\n and transfer the milk
\n Brian:<\/font><\/b> ok, proceed with caution\n<\/td>\n<\/table>\n![](\"\/photos\/family\/apod\/day053-bouncyfun-sm.jpg\") <\/a>(To break up the reading, here’s another glimpse of my smiley girl in her bouncy seat.

\n\n Kat:<\/b><\/font>
\n hi sister
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> i gotta go
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> sorry!
\n Kristine<\/font><\/b>: i need to pump – i’m leaking
\n
\n Kat:<\/b><\/font> sick
\n Kat:<\/b><\/font> bye
\n Kat<\/b><\/font>: too much information
\n Kristine: <\/b><\/font>one day you’ll understand
\n
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> it’s kind of funny
\n Kat:<\/b><\/font> i’d rather you don’t explain it
\n now
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> paired with the fact that
\n Analise threw up on me as we were leaving the house, and i didn’t have a
\n clean shirt, so i just washed it off and wore it backwards
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> I’m a mom now, what can I
\n say?
\n Kristine:<\/b><\/font> One day you’ll appreciate
