So Walt’s been kicking around outside my uterus for 40 days now. When he first showed up, he kind of felt like a houseguest with whom I had nothing in common with. In fact, during the car ride home from the hospital, I told Ryan I felt I should be making awkward small talk with [...]

How We Spend Our Days
Posted in babies, daily on September 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When not listening to the bathroom fan, Walt likes to dangle from my body, only to be interrupted to feed and, occassionally, scream for no reason.
Is it a Raisin or a Lifeline?

As I type this I’m holed up in our bedroom with Walt and the Newt while Ryan resorts to toxic chemicals in our kitchen sink. This isn’t really as dreadful as it seems as I have Ryan’s laptop and a bowl of soup. Also, a baby who is content with the constant feeding – so [...]
Day 8
Posted in babies, daily on August 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, it’s day 8 of Walt’s life. The first few days were a bit of a steep learning curve with the interrupted sleep and feeding – so much feeding. But it seems we’ve almost got some sort of routine. He’s begun to sleep for 4 hour stretches at night. My mental health will be saved [...]
Trauma
Posted in babies, daily, hallmark's bread and butter, tagged Cottonelle, Labrador puppies on August 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
There’s been a new Cottonelle campaign that won’t go away. It features a white Labrador puppy that’s some sort of scientist/life guru? So, the first commercial that I found mildly disturbing was the one in which the puppy went to some type of spa and is soaking in a jacuzzi with purple flowers. At this [...]
Britney and Me

Well, if I leave the last post up for much longer I’ll really seem like a whine-y bitch. However, just to contradict myself I’ll complain just a little bit more. Earlier this week, when shopping for groceries, a woman asked me, “How many babies do [I] have in there?”
“Just one,” I answered.
“A big one,” she [...]
Complaining
Posted in babies, daily, tagged maternity swimwear, pre-eclampsia on June 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Urgh, frustrating day. After waking up at 7am this morning I found myself needing a 2 hour nap by 8am. I had to buy a maternity swimsuit. I’m doing what little I can to ward off pre-eclampsia in what was a normal and uncomplicated pregnancy. I’m worried that I’m not asking for enough help or [...]
Quick Update
Posted in daily, newton on June 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have very little to write except that I’m sleepy, we’re making our way through the first season of Six Feet Under with remarkable speed, and I have 3 more days left of work. Also, there’s an ever-increasing chance that our downstairs neighbours are planning to steal our dog when they move out tomorrow.

Posted in daily, holidays, tagged Felicia Reshad, Lilac Festival on June 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well, that baby video staring Felicia Reshad really sucked ass. Somehow it tried to cram the first 6 years of life into 32 minutes. For a woman who’s fictional husband was an obstetrician this was a poor showing.
In other news, we went to Lilac Festival yesterday. This is my 4th year attending and maybe my [...]
Random Going-Ons

Because I’ve been slacking in just about every area of my life, somehow in the last few weeks (or perhaps, months) I’ve been automatically signed out of my flickr account. I created the account in September and uploaded photos about half a dozen times. However because I didn’t log on for a really long time, [...]
