If there's anything a new mother doesn't get enough of, it's time to herself. That and sleep. No matter how wonderful and helpful your husband is, no matter how supportive your friends and family are, there just always seems to be something tha...

Paving the way...

Like a good big brother, Jake has been showing "Babycade" (it's all one word to Jake) how to do lots of things. Of course, a lot of them are mischievious... Like picking up the sprinkler and spraying all the adults with it instead of running thr...

I love to read, so...

“The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed.” 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Strike out the books ...

Slightly Annoying...

People who slam on their brakes on the freeway when they see a CHP. For no good reason. You do NOT have to slam on the brakes if you're not doing anything wrong. Especially when you're going under the speed limit already for no apparent reaso...

First Month Recap

I'd forgotten about the blowouts...

...and how baby poo always seems to find a way out of what appear to be snug and secure diapers. Luckily it's easy to get out in the wash! And, speaking of laundry, how one little being can create so much of it. And how much noise can come out o...

Waiting for Baby

nobody@vox.com(calimama) — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:48:39 -0700

Nearly 39 weeks and still no baby! This little guy is proving quite stubborn. I know I'm still over a week away from my due date, but I really thought that since things had begun progressing rather early, that he'd be here sooner rather than ...

Eating Out...While We Still Can!

nobody@vox.com(calimama) — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:14:55 -0700

Thanks in no small part to my wonderful in-laws, we've had the opportunity to have quite a few nice dinners out recently. And we've taken advantage of this to try a few new (at least to us) places in the area: Pampas is a Brazilian steakhouse th...

38 weeks, and still no baby

nobody@vox.com(calimama) — Wed, 14 May 2008 10:48:10 -0700
