I never come here anymore. I'm not sure why.

But sometimes, I do write here: http://mediocrityisunderrated.wordpress.com/

Today David had his one month check at the pediatrician and I had to take Anderson with us since Kurt's working, of course. It started out just fine. Anderson was totally excited about going somewhere and he got dressed with no problem and he was happy for a good while at the doctor's office. But then the waiting in the little room began. He was ( Read more... )

Big breakthrough on the big brother front today! I bought David a 'gym' (basically this mat that they lay on with toys hanging down to look at and eventually kick and swat at, among other things).

Had an ultrasound today and apart from a revealing shot of little David's scrotum, it was nothing out of the ordinary. He's allegedly 8 lb. 2 oz. (these weight measurements in utero are often just really wrong), but then Anderson was 8 lb. 5 oz. when he was born a few days late. I was due yesterday ( Read more... )

Well I made marginal progress this past week according to my OB. I'm one ENTIRE cm dilated. This means jack shit for those of you not so in tune with the nuances of late pregnancy ( Read more... )

I'm OK as long as I don't look right at them...
