Monday, August 30th, 2010You may not know this, but it is a crime against nature for a child to arrive in the world to a home where the tubs under his parents’ bed have not been recently evaluated. A home without neatly organized bathroom drawers? Equally egregious. Most shocking of all? Arriving in the world when your mother’s file drawer [...]
Nothing much
Friday, August 13th, 2010There is nothing much to report from our neck of the woods, apart from an impending heat wave over the next five days. The doctor visit for week 30 went well today, and the little dude decided that it would be entertaining to sleep with a foot poking out in a big lump last night… [...]
Egg on Your Face
Saturday, July 24th, 2010Portland is nothing if not opinionated.
In this city, it is expected that you not only will, but should be as vocal as humanly possible about your views on everything. Passionately believe that you know the only way to do it! Explain to everyone why they ought to be more like you! And gosh darn it, [...]
Imagine, if you will…
Thursday, June 24th, 2010…that you spent a lot of last Saturday in the car. Needless to say… you are grumpy. Tired. Ready to go to SLEEP.
Now picture climbing into bed at 11pm. But then — wait! What is that? The building behind your apartment is being loud again! Hmm. No, it’s not them. Is it the bar a block [...]
Smug
Friday, June 18th, 2010We will be too busy to post anything of interest for you this weekend, so I leave you with this wonderful, snarky song by Garfunkel & Oates called “Pregnant Women Are Smug.” If you have ever been around that annoying pregnant lady who thinks that the world revolves around her uterus, you’ll love this.
Boy or Girl?
Saturday, June 5th, 2010If you haven’t already heard the news (and believe me, the phones have been humming faster than I can call people myself), we are having…
A BOY!
This probably shouldn’t come as a surprise when given the overwhelming number of men on both sides of the family. (I myself am the first girl in three generations!) But [...]
Babies, babies, everywhere
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010We are proud to congratulate our dear friends Keith & Jamie on the birth of their second child: a son named Abraham! We are quite sure that Rilla is going to make a fantastic older sister, and we already know that Keith & Jamie are rockstar parents. What more could you ask for? When we [...]
Whoops
Sunday, May 9th, 2010If you are going to call/email and ask, “How did you celebrate your first Mother’s Day?”, let me save you the trouble. I celebrated by taking my child to work with me! Given the quantity of wonderful moms that work at my library, I opted to let them spend the day at home with their [...]
FAQs
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Thank you for the lovely well-wishes, everyone! We’ve received a *lot* of questions, and since most of them overlap… we bring you Frequently Asked Questions Regarding The Pregnancy.
You are due in late October… so how far along are you? I’m just finishing up Week 14 (of 40 weeks). Keith would like you to know that [...]
Dear Diary
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010I am PREGNANT. In case the term seems unfamiliar, you could also say:
bun in the oven
knocked up
in a family way
preggo
expecting
incubating a parasite
gestating
in the motherly way
Whatever way you want to say it, I am growing a little human! The munchkin should be finished up and making a spectacular debut sometime around October 25th. We are very, [...]
