I’m having a rough time of it. Sleepless nights and colicky days. Sleep deprivation the likes of which I’ve never known (and I’m insomnia queen!). Post partum depression issues.  I’m on the edge of a major meltdown pretty much all the time. I was inspired to healthy action a bit when discovering that not only […]
Well, I can’t hope to sit here long enough to give the full update the blog deserves, so I’ll just cover the highlights. The last couple months of pregnancy were miserable. I couldn’t sit for more than 5 minutes comfortably, and at the end, I would have liked to live in my deep tub, where […]
In baby news — I had what I imagine will be the last ultrasound on Thursday (given that I’m due in 6 weeks!), and they STILL couldn’t give me better than 49% / 51% on gender. So while I’m the LAST person that would ever have chosen to keep it a suprise — mystery baby, […]
Portland’s first Saturday Farmer’s Market opened a couple weeks ago. The weather was due to be beautiful this weekend (well, beautiful if you’re an Oregonian living in perpetual chill and rain for months, and anything over 60 is shorts weather if the sun peeps out), and so we decided to head over to the PSU […]
Pet Peeve: People that put music players on thier blogs/sites. Nothing like opening up a page to have your ears blasted by tunes – probably a genre to which you would never willingly listen. Just say no.
The kidlet lost his first official tooth already! (The one that got knocked out when he slipped and fell into a coffee table doesn’t count! ;))  He is only just barely five, and while that falls in the normal range for first tooths to go, its about a year ahead of the average. Being ahead of […]
Something has been going on with my site. It keeps going down for short to long periods of time, but every time I talk to the hubby about it, things come up fine for him. He FINALLY was at his computer at the same time as I saw the problem so he knows I am […]
While doing some random browsing (probably looking for recipes ;)), I came across a really neat tip for peeling a kiwi. Personally, if I’m going to eat one I just slice it in half and scoop it out with a spoon.  But that’s no good for a frut salad, plus the kiddo has trouble with that and […]
The kid was unbeliveably cute yesterday. He had to stay home from preschool because of the weather. We’d had hail that didn’t melt the night before, and then snow all morning, and I wasn’t about to risk the hills around here. (Last time it looked like this, even just a thin layer, I couldn’t get […]
In a follow up to yesterday, I do think that I am too hard on myself at times. I am doing well on my List, given the whole nearly 7 months pregnant thing.  I suspect that what makes me feel like I’ve accomplished less than reality is that while I am getting some things done, I […]
