I've gotten tired of saying this to Carl...
But cats are not allowed to sleep on top of the baby. I don't know if Carl likes to sleep on top of people to assert dominance, curry favor, or to encourage feeding (he refuses to tell me) but I don't fancy being on 19 Action News being carted off by CPS for charges related to "we didn't think we had to make this an actual rule but you dumb bitches ( Read more... ) -

So, my son is like a parakeet- he goes to sleep when you cover his face with a blanket ( Read more... ) -
New insults
Well, so I've been cussed at a fair amount. Unless I feel physically threatened, it usually doesn't bother me enough for me to remember specifics. Always having been on the skinnier, smaller side of the phenotype, most of the insults refer to my parentage, race or gender. Now that I'm carrying a bit extra around the midsection due to being nine ( Read more... ) -

I'm going to start going by 'La Pregnito', because it makes me sound like an exciting Mexican bandit who happens to be gestating. I'm getting sick of 'the pregnant one' and am opting for something dashing.

Being pregnant, Rachel Maddow, and funny work stuff

I can't remember how many people who read this actually live in Cleveland, but anybody want to go to Pride on Saturday? Me and Cait are going to be checking out the parade, and then Early Girl, who's playing around 3pm. -
The glamorous life of a floor nurse
If I ever have to keep my face straight while a grown man manually disimpacts himself while looking fixedly at me again, it will be too soon.
I described the amount of stool as 'the size of a baby' to Trish, and got a horrified expression. -
McDonald's is SEXAY... right?
In the last three days, I have eaten TWO Big Macs. I hadn't eaten a fast food hamburger in.... about seven years? OMG DELICIOUS. I hope this is a preggo thing because that means it will go away when I stop being pregnant. -

So I had my second ultrasound today, and it's going to be a boy! Zac and I already agreed on Theodore Alexander, so at least that part's taken care of. He hopefully will pop around Halloween, so I can dress him up like a teddy bear for his first Halloween (and if he pops later, I'm still dressing him up before he gets mobile enough to get away from ( Read more... )
