it seems all I have to talk about is this fetus in my belly

August 31, 2006

"It’s an interesting sensation, being hungry and nauseous at the same time. Just in case you were wondering. It’s interesting. And very very frustrating. We went to the doctor on Tuesday and all is well, at least as far as the doctor could tell from taking my blood pressure, me peeing in a cup, and doing [...]"

hi. remember me?

August 28, 2006

"I’m writing this from our long-lost laptop that has been out of commission since May. After 2 new motherboards, 2 new power cords, and countless rounds of Dan taking it apart and spreading its guts all over the dining room table, IT IS FIXED. Which means that while I’m pretty much spending 90% of my time [...]"

first job as a parent

August 20, 2006

"When this baby is born, it is SOOOO grounded for making me feel this sick. Seriously, no tv or phone privileges for 2 weeks.

addiction

August 18, 2006

"I have become obsessed with the show Gilmore Girls. I’m not quite sure how it happened, I just know that it did. I oh-so-casually added the Season 1 DVD to my NetFlix queue a few months back, just to see what all of the fuss was about. By the second or third disc, I was hooked. I [...]"

highs and lows

August 17, 2006

"This week has been less than productive. I’m not sure if it’s that I’m still adjusting to having to set my own schedule or the fact that I suffered my first official day of ‘morning’ sickness on Tuesday and couldn’t do anything but lay on the couch and stare at the tv, trying to find something [...]"

party time

August 11, 2006

"First, thank you all so much for your congrats and good luck wishes and all of that :) It makes it fun to tell people and get excited reactions! Tomorrow we are having a party here at our house for Dan’s Masters graduation. What? He graduated in December and you think it’s a little late to [...]"

the big announcement (again)

August 09, 2006

"I think I’m finally ready to publicly announce what I posted in a private entry the other day. (If you didn’t see it, you either need to register and I’ll have to raise your user level to read hidden posts, or if you’re already registered, sign in, dummy!) Yes. I am pregnant. We’ve known this for about [...]"

timing is everything

August 07, 2006

"So you all know that the past couple of weeks have been pretty life-changing for me. Leaving the security of a full-time job to pursue self-employment could be seen as INSANE or at the very least, RISKY. Adjusting mentally to having a not-steady paycheck and having a totally different schedule and lifestyle than ever before [...]"

assembly required

"Four hours, approximately 57 uses of various 4-letter words, and only 1 instance of realizing we used the wrong screws for a particular step (which didn’t matter in the end anyway) More posts like this: just two things November 19, 2007 here’s to great weekends November 20, 2005 the great bottle debate July 7, 2008 the more things change, the [...]"

pro vs con

August 03, 2006

"One downside to working from home: I have NO IDEA what day it is. Monday, I thought it was Wednesday. Yesterday (Wednesday) I thought it was Thursday. One upside: I am working, but I’m still in my pajamas. More posts like this: week in review August 11, 2007 alone no more April 19, 2008 say it with me now: June [...]"
