People are starting to discuss circumcision on one of my due date boards, and it just makes me shudder. I’ve long felt that circumcision is wrong, etc, but now that I’m carrying this little fellow (we still presume that one of them is a fellow) I just can’t imagine allowing him to be hurt in [...]

Pseudonyms
Posted in Baby on June 27, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I’ve thought long and hard about this, and sincerely hope no one will be offended. I’ve had an internet pseudonym for quite awhile (and have used it more and more, phasing out my “real” name on all but one semi-private, nongoogleable message board.) I didn’t want nosy IRL folk googling me, and am pretty well [...]
A Sad Commentary
Posted in Work on June 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I was using a variety of cartoon character stickers to check a visual acuity on a 3 year old the other night (n.b. some of those sprinkler toys squirt *hard* – got the poor kid in the eye) and he managed the generic orangutan and kitty stickers well, was excited about Elmo, but knew nothing [...]
Playing for Both Teams

OK, not in that sense, gentle reader. (At least, we won’t be discussing that in this post.)
No, I’m talking about Team Pink and Team Blue. If you’ve spent any time (i.e. a fraction of a millisecond) on one of the semi-neurotic, yet strangely addictive pregnancy message boards scattered across the net, you’ll know what I’m [...]

OK. I know the average consumer can be a little, shall we say, gullible, but this is ridiculous.
Safety 1st BabyPlus Prenatal Education System
Does anyone really need a $150 item to “prenatally educate” her child? Yeghads. Barnum was right.
In other news, I’m now hosting two moving/kicking creatures (Watson’s on the bandwagon now, although I still feel him [...]
16 Week Ultrasound

Watson (a.k.a. baby A)
Crick(et?) (a.k.a. baby B) – note the waving hand
Everyone had the appropriate number of kidneys, three-vessel umbilical cords, four-chambered hearts, etc. The tech wouldn’t really comment on indoor vs outdoor plumbing, but as I said, kept calling Watson “he” and Crick “she” – which fits my suspicions. Watson & Crick never really [...]
Seeing Red

So just literally 10 minutes after I pushed Publish on Friday, I stepped out of the shower and wandered into the kitchen to make some toast. And then I noticed something running down my leg that was decidedly *not* residual shower water. The bleeding has been improving (despite one Piper-induced setback yesterday) and today is [...]
Busy Bee

What have I been up to? Not blogging, that’s for sure.
Working, seemingly all the time. Not sure how that happened.
OB appointment last Monday (6/9). All’s well in fetusville, despite some spotting on Monday a.m. that freaked my shit out. Cervix is long & closed & not doing anything whatsoever (rah – stay that way until [...]
Helpful Hint

Confidential to the dude at the DMV: I understand that you, along with 100 or so of us other lovely county residents, are waiting in a very long line. And yes, you may be bored. I know I am. But now might not be the time to call someone on your cell phone, and give them [...]
