The Good:
OB appointment on Tuesday was utterly uneventful. Nice HRs (148 for Watson, 160 for Crick), measuring 34 weeks (!!) and scheduled to go back on August 5th. I saw one of Col. Sanders’ partners, which was nice to meet another member of the group.
Watson finally decided to show off *her* goods at an unscheduled [...]

The Mind – It Boggles
Posted in Pregnancy on July 21, 2008 | 10 Comments »
First of all, who is this b-list (or lower) celebrity that’s just named his kid Peanut? Hello? My first name is Peanut? This is a male child, not that it matters. Peanut! People are idiots.
In further news (and the real point of this post before I stopped at Celebrity Baby Blog on my way here) [...]
Pantries and Protein
Posted in Domesticity, Pregnancy on July 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’ve officially started drinking protein shakes in an attempt to better-nourish Watson and Crick. The recommended protein intake has moved from almost-attainable to not-so-much as the unoccupied space in my belly has shrunk (after being completely unattainable during the all-day sickness phase) so I’m resorting to the next best thing. For any interested parties, the EAS [...]
Cuckoo

Does anyone ever get the feeling that a good 90% of those posting on message boards are just a little bit crazy? Or perhaps I should say, those doing 90% of the posting. Sometimes you read things, and just have to shake your head in disbelief, and say whaaaa? And no, I’m not telling you [...]
Preparations
Posted in Domesticity, Pregnancy on July 13, 2008 | 8 Comments »
With this weekend’s activities (putting together the cribs – thanks Starbuck – and attending a friend’s baby shower – she’s 12 weeks ahead of me) I’m starting to realize that I am, indeed, barring catastrophe, going to have a couple of infants to deal with soon. I’m over halfway now, and the time since my [...]
Half-Baked
Posted in Pregnancy on July 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Technically last week (19) was half-baked, given that Col. Sanders is disinclined to allow my pregnancy to continue past 38 weeks (and given the stats both from him and my own research, I agree – I certainly don’t buy into the “my OB says I have to/won’t let me” mindlessness.) But for my due date, [...]
Who’s Crazier?
Posted in Work on July 10, 2008 | 3 Comments »
My relatively recent patient, who claims to be a former CIA agent, cosmetologist and a world-renowned choreographer (all while wandering around town in a muu muu and no undies) or a friend’s relatively recent patient who claims to be an exotic dancer, Air Force test pilot and the daughter of the Queen of England?
Your call.
(And [...]
Watsine?
Posted in Pregnancy on July 8, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I swear, these children have had more peeks at their genitals than any nearly-20-week fetuses in history, and yet Baby A/Watson is still a troublemaker. I’m thinking I should set aside extra budgetary money for all the bourbon I’m going to have to drink to get through his/her toddler and teenage years. For reals.
Coworker S, [...]
Modern Mythology
Posted in Random on July 7, 2008 | 6 Comments »
The blood in a normal, living human being’s veins is:
A) Red
B) Blue
C) Green
D) Other (please specify in comments)
Extra credit if you know whether “being exposed to air” matters. Triple extra credit if you can discuss the usual difference in color between arterial and venous blood.
(This post prompted by a discussion at work a few weeks ago, [...]
Frustration
Posted in Pregnancy, Rants, Work on July 3, 2008 | 3 Comments »
My three major frustrations for today, in no particular order:
1) I was awakened at about 3:30 (after not getting home until 9:45, bed at 10) by the doorbell. No one there. No message from the mailman or anything. Gah.
2) Had my u/s today (19w1d) revealing two healthy, 10 oz babies. (Note: not the frustrating part.) [...]
