Won’t stop ’til I get enough
I was born in 1982, a year that was especially auspicious for me because of its ripe placement at the beginning of the 80s. In 1982, the Decade of Excess was solidly coming into itself as gaudy, strange, and smart. It had firmly decided that its bridesmaids would sport day glow, it was OK for […]
Get Me Out
Over the long weekend, I read Get Me Out: A History of Childbirth. Randi Hutter Epstein describes some of the lowlights of maternity and childbirth in the Western world from medieval times to the present. As with topics in medical history, these lowlights also tend to be highlights at the same time because progress – albeit […]
Gingivitis Friday
Today we awoke to find that we were out of mouthwash, a staple in our home. Possibly because we spent some time in Korea where almost everyone brushes after every single meal, B and I are anal about our teeth (OK, note to self, “anal about your teeth” should not be a thing. Ewww.) Because […]
Tips on Compiling a Baby Registry
One of the many things I’m experiencing now that I’m halfway through my pregnancy is that of creating the registry for little Bebe. Yes, there are few joys during pregnancy that approach that of shopping around for things that you have absolutely no idea if you will end up needing or the baby will like. […]
Getting It Down
I’ve been working on this weblog since August, and it’s quickly overtaken my Garmin navigation system as the latest thing I don’t know how I lived without before I got it. It’s become something that I make time for several days a week and really enjoy laboring over. As luck would have it, during this […]
Introducing: Dung Chim
Being a little kid is the absolute best (and sometimes, worst) thing possible. Yeah, you don’t have a lot of control over your life, but that frees you up to unabashedly explore all the weirdness you’re surrounded by without being self-conscious about it. You can watch your Barbie video four times in a row, loving […]
Surety
After my follow-up sonogram, we have determined with 100% surety that Bebe is a girl! And 100% healthy and awesome! We heart you, sweet Bebe! :D :D :D
Little Kicks
Is it even worth it to describe to someone who’s never experienced (and doesn’t care to experience) the emotional weight of what it feels like to have a baby move around inside them, what it feels like? (I dare you to diagram that sentence!) Going on and on about it to non-breeders kind of makes […]
So a woman walks into the ultrasound room…
Wow, now this is a big post. I mean, the reveal of the sex of our baby! I kind of wish it were 1999 so I could have some great spinning GIFs scattered around this post to heighten the excitement. As it is 2011, I suppose I’ll have to rely on my words, though, which […]
Yay for Awards!
This morning I woke up, ate some Cream of Wheat with cocoa powder mixed in, and turned on the compy. And what did I find? I was pleasantly surprised to see that Oopsie23 from Broken Condoms had bestowed the Liebster Award on my little corner of the Internets! Thank you, my bloggy friend! She is also […]
