That’s right, kids. I’m officially almost-30. Woot! Off to breakfast with Starbuck.

Drinking the Koolaid

I swear, I’m so tired of the swooning, weeping and frothing at the mouth from Obama’s minions, I could just puke. Seriously. They’re all going on like a bunch of doe-eyed twelve-year-olds with a crush. It’s utterly nauseating. The man is *not* the second coming of Christ, or Abraham Lincoln, or anybody else. He’s a [...]
Third Trimester!

We’re 27 weeks today. Another hurdle cleared!
No “up” time for much of a post, but wanted to thank everyone for the support in comments below. It really helps. Now if we can convince these girls to stay in for a good 5 weeks more (or better yet, 9-10) we’ll be golden. One day at a time.
Millimeters

Saw the peri today. Sono shows only 6 mm of cervix remaining (vs 1.5 to 2 cm previously.) Ugh. Not much to do but hope for the best at this point, and keep taking my meds and resting as much as possible. It’s possible that my cervix is “dynamic” and so may be worse at [...]

1) 26 wk visit with Col. Sanders this week. FFN remains positive, everything else is fine, measuring 34 wks. And oh, btw, I now have “protein S deficiency” to add to my comprehensive list of diagnoses. It’s a genetic clotting disorder, so I’m set to go on Lovenox injections daily once my insurance approves it [...]
Your Imput Needed
Posted in Random on August 15, 2008 | 14 Comments »
Do people really think that “imput” is a word? (As in “I need your imput on this.”) Or is it just one of those common typos? I keep seeing it everywhere, and sometimes multiple times in a row, and I’m beginning to wonder…
Photos on Friday

Someone was saying sometime or other that they hadn’t seen a picture of my face. Well, here you go. I had a few minutes yesterday afternoon when it was 1) not raining and 2) not hot and 3) I looked half-decent so I thought I’d try to take some nice pictures. I’m not sure that [...]
Doppelgänger

I’ve been so amused watching Shawn Johnson this week, as she reminds me soooo much of Starbuck. They look pretty similar from a distance (well, a teenage Starbuck, anyway) and the little serious face that Shawn makes when running? OMG. It’s the exact same face that Starbuck makes when she concentrates hard on something. I’m [...]
Ranting on Clostridium

Some mommybloggers (along with the P@mpers people) are out there trying to eradicate tetanus in Africa. Eradicate. Tetanus. Anyone with a public health background is now laughing her ass off. I’ll give you a minute. Better?
You can’t eradicate any disease that has a reservoir outside the human population (and that’s most of them, in one [...]
Random Thoughts

Two random things, tangentially related by mostly/entirely naked people submerged in water:
1) The Water Cube? Not a cube. I suppose Water Polyhedron is a bit nerdy-sounding, but seriously, it’s not a cube!
2) A very small (25 week old) person is, at present, literally kicking me in the ass. No one mentions this in the pregnancy [...]
