Really. I’m sitting in a hotel room, all by myself. I am drinking a latte, responding to two dozen MommyBlog emails that are way overdue, checking out other mom blogs, writing a book review and completely absorbed in blissful quiet. A dear friend of mine is getting married this weekend, and due […]
At our weekly home group tonight, all the women got around to talking about The One Thing that, if we could change it, would make our lives easier. For one, it would be if she could move back to the South, where her family is from. For another, if she and her husband […]
Kenny has continued to stretch his boundaries in learning what he can and cannot control. This week’s prime strategy has been, “I don’t like…” As in, “I don’t like my bed,” “I don’t like to eat dinner,” “I don’t like naps,” “I don’t like the Zoo,” “I don’t like to pee pee in […]
Kenny has picked up a very bad little habit… one that involves creative story-telling; otherwise known as telling lies. He makes up funny and strange things some of the time, and outright deceiving things other times. For example, when my Dad watched him so that Casey and I could go to the doctor on […]
I think I need to tell my OB to stick to gynecology… after my last post, I got sicker, and ended up at my regular doctor’s office where he confirmed a bronchial infection and prescribed antibiotics. Casey actually went with me, with the same symptoms, and my rescue-man Dad came over to spend the […]
Well, it turns out that yesterday’s rant about my maybe/maybe not cancelled OB appointment was unnecessary. I went ahead and showed up today, and when I asked about the call, they said, “Hm.. that’s happened a few times before to other patients… just a glitch in the system… ” So. There. My […]
I finally caught whatever Kenny has and Casey came home from work feeling like he’s about to succumb as well… hacking cough, congestion and general ickiness. blech. I have an OB appointment tomorrow (which includes my 28 week glucose test) at 8:45 AM – the first appointment of the day. Unfortunately, I just […]
Kenny’s fever finally went away, bu last night he developed a persistant cough and kept us all up most of the night. Since I was a reader as church this morning, Casey graciously agreed to stay home with our little hacker so that Kenny could recoup. Even more gracious, because Friday night, the […]
… ok, that’s misleading… Kenny IS adorable, and I have no doubt will one day be a “hottie,” but this current hotness is all about a little boy with a really high fever. Last night Kenny spiked a fever of 104.5. He has never had a fever higher than 101.5 before. Even this […]
I don’t know about you other pregnant readers out there, but there is an absolute dirth of really well-made, well-fitting, affordable maternity clothes out there. Unless you plan on existing solely in the cheaply-made polyester blends of most main stream maternity stores, you know that you have to shell out big bucks to look […]
