Addendum
In addition to my last post, I should note that I had a baby in September. The ninth to be exact. Somehow I managed to never write that. He is lovely. Graham Thomas Smith. You all should friend me on facebook, cause I am a posting fiend over there. -
A new year
I can't believe it is January already. My baby is 4 months old next Monday. Not allowed! My goals in the new year ( Read more... ) -
I really just want to go back to bed.
I fail at posting. We know this by now. But can I just whine a little bit about how today is kicking my butt and it is only 9 am? 37 weeks pregnant on Monday, I can't really sleep anymore, Nell has decided to be a disaster with sleep as well all of a sudden and the minutia of being a stay at home mom is way too overwhelming for me to cope with ( Read more... ) -
He does the hokey pokey and he turns himself around.
Can I just say, this baby *never stops moving*. I am somewhat terrified about what he will be like on the outside. Nell was super chill and pretty much stayed in the same position my entire pregnancy, I didn't feel movement at all, until 22 or 23 weeks, and from then on it was mostly hiccups and kicks in my pelvis or bladder. This is more like ( Read more... ) -

Going to try to post more, just to have somewhere to ramble about what we are up to, and hold myself accountable for the basic home management stuff which I am so, so very terrible at.
Nell and I had a nice morning, we went and dropped off a painfully large check at the car dealership for our new van and then went to family swim at the Y. I am 99% ( Read more... ) -
I should probably do this more often.
I am 12 weeks and some change, as of right now. I have already reached that "fat or pregnant?" stage of pregnancy which blows my mind because people were still looking at me disbelievingly, when I told them I was pregnant, at 20 weeks last time. I still feel *gross*, but I am puking less often. I think I have done a better job managing it this ( Read more... ) -

About Religion
I had a fairly religious upbringing. I was raised in an evangelical leaning Presbyterian Church where we spent a *lot* of time. Sundays were Sunday School, church, youth group in the evenings in high school. Wednesdays after school until dinner time there was various youth programming. There were pot luck dinners, Sedar Suppers, picnics, ( Read more... ) -
I kind of fail at today.
Nell slept like crap last night, and then decided to sleep in until 10:30. And the house is covered in folded laundry that needs to be put away, a load of unfolded diapers, a needing to be emptied dishwasher and my general lack of motivation to exist. But rather than complaining about that (well, complaining *more* about that*) I am going to post ( Read more... )
