I started visiting this writer's blog a while back, and for the most part it's cool. He posts a lot about misogyny and white privilege and it's always interesting and insightful to read. But I'm just beginning to wonder now ... during what point, while standing up for minorities (not just racial minorities) and womens' rights/feminism, do we begin ( Read more... )

I've really never liked this whole black Friday thing. :/ I'd rather spend $50 and tons of hours making things for people than $300 and an hour or so wrapping everything up. I mean, I do a small amount of shopping online like maybe on Etsy or something, or if there's something someone really wants I'll go to a big store for it, I don't care. I just ( Read more... )

Evey's been home since Saturday. :) Haven't had time to post, of course. But I've taken lots of pictures ( Read more... )

I got mastitis. Thrush AND mastisis. I thought you had to get engorged first to get mastitis but, okay. Now that breast only makes about a half ounce of milk. The left one will make four ounces after about five hours. I gotta figure out how to fix this while still allowing myself four hours stretches of sleep at night, since I've heard sleep ( Read more... )

For those of you not on fbook with me, Evelynn was born today, 9/10/11, at 11:26am weighing 3lbs 3oz and coming in just short of 16 inches. Neonatologist was incredibly impressed with how healthy she was for a two month preemie. :) hot set of lungs ( Read more... )

It's probably not that normal to feel SO crappy at right about 32 weeks, is it ( Read more... )
