There is no need for words today - but i sure am having fun learning new ones by reading silly fluff short stories about really angsty thirty year old socialite women.

a special thank you to the lady who was really nice about me backing into her car (twas but a tap) in the ultra-dark parking garage, and also a special un-thank you to ALL the people in Boston who don't use their turn signals.

 It took three days to (unrelatedly) read slaughterhouse five and watch 2001 a space odyssey, but they both were wonderful and exceeded expectations, which is rare for me - even when i have the lowest of low expectations, which i didn't in this case.

Today at the gym one of the trainers said to me, "you are a lot tougher than you look" and I'm still trying to decide if that was a complement or not.

Thought everyone would like a bonus picture for today, to introduce Henry ... and don't worry, not every post from now on will be about babies.

Best compliment ever (from a mom who sees me every week) "You are the skinniest pregnant lady ever!" (err, I had the baby last week)

After dropping my bother and sister off in the woods where they could continue their hike of the Appalachian Trail, we drove out on a windy, bumpy road and as soon as we got back on pavement, I got car sick for the first time in over 15 years... which resulted in lot of laughter by all (including myself) about 5 minutes later.

Adjusting to having four people in our family is trickier with a sick one year old instead of a healthy one - you didn't think we'd be getting any sleep, did you?

I didn't take a single picture of anything today... so much for the resolve to get a picture a day of the new baby.

Donuts for breakfast and a resolution to be healthy from now on for lunch mean we had a walk for dinner.
