And finally that HCG diet follow up...
So I told you all I'd follow up about that HCG diet my naturopath suggested, like, 3 years ago to help me lose weight to counteract PCOS to have a baby. Here's what happened ( Read more... ) -
The boring short post instead of the interesting ones I've been thinking of
So I've totally been meaning to post about the concept "can you change your diet without dieting" that I saw on the lovelivegrow blog and I've also been meaning to do an in-depth response to this atheist book

Sleeping when the baby sleeps...yeah
So, whoever came up with that clever little adage apparently didn't know that some babies only sleep when they are being rocked or walked or bounced. Thank God that's not my little dude most days, but yesterday it was ( Read more... ) -
The baby is here!
The little dude arrived on the 11th, healthy and very, very sweet. I'd have let you all know sooner, but our internet was down and, well, we've been busy ( Read more... ) -
On being visibly pregnant and invisibly queer
I feel like I had really started to find a way to live with being queer while looking pretty much like a typical straight, suburban, stay-at-home mom.

The idea of which makes me fret and feel awkward and nauseated.
In my head, I get into ( Read more... ) -
WorldCon coffee?
If you're gonna be at WorldCon and you want to see me, totally call/e-mail/dm me!

...aaand more about the carbs
A rather counter-intuitive thing happened with the new, time-released meds. Basically, I got all draggy and kind of low-level depressed. Turns out, I was so focused on eating "perfectly" that my blood sugar was kind of nonstop low. I was all worried that if I ate carbs, I'd be sprinting to the bathroom, so I didn't eat any and, well, that just didn ( Read more... )
