Graphic Content (revisited)
Admittedly, this isn't going to be nearly as graphic as the first time around, but here are the vivid details of the birth of our son:
On Wednesday, July 8th, I went to the OB Triage at Phoenix Indian Medical Center for a checkup, just as I had two days prior. I was fairly confident that I would be admitted that afternoon since I already had two ( Read more... ) -
Life with a 2-year-old...
Seren has been increasingly difficult over the past few months. She still takes her naps every day (except for when we are unable to accommodate for one) and she still sticks to her routines at bedtime and such. The problem has arrived in the fact that she seems to think that she is free to dictate to us her own set of rules for, well, ( Read more... ) -
I'm STILL pregnant...
I went to the doc yesterday and wasted an hour of my life (and Stephen's) sitting in the lab waiting room, watching Bewitched (Dick Sargent, not Dick York), and waiting for the tech to take my blood for and A1C (glucose test). Three vials of blood and one urine sample later, I was in the Women's clinic, speaking with a midwife about the next 3 ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: The Expendable Sense(s)
Right now, at this very moment, I would give up my sense of smell with almost no argument. That is, of course, under the presumption that my sense of taste would remain the same--unlikely, I know.
We gave Janey back up to the shelter for liability reasons, which, I'm more and more okay with each day. I'm sure she'll find a family who will love her ( Read more... ) -

Something I've been meaning to talk about for a while...
So like 3 weeks ago I discovered that my first boyfriend, Gene, died. This came as a bit of a shock to the system, however, my thoughts have progressed past just the fact that he was only 26 when he died. But before I continue with where I am now, here is the progression:
