joy is…
November 30, 2006
"…seeing the look on your husband’s face when he feels the first kicks of his baby girl on your stomach. Priceless. More posts like this: this is my world March 14, 2007 on the move August 30, 2007 and the butt-kicking continues… December 15, 2008 Maggie, 2 months old May 26, 2007 one short year February 29, 2008 "
baby bedding
November 29, 2006
"First, thank you to everyone who spoke up about the four choices of baby bedding I posted. Interestingly enough, most of you were thinking right along the same lines I was- my top 2 choices were #1 and #3, even though they are quite different from each other. Great minds think alike! :) A few [...]"
half-assed
November 28, 2006
"So I got the house halfway cleaned today, before my back started hurting too bad for me to continue. GRRRR. I’m not sure if it’s sciatica or not, because it doesn’t have much to do with my legs or any numbness or anything. What I’ve been dealing with off and on for the past month or [...]"
just trying to avoid pink overload
November 27, 2006
"So this baby thing is getting closer and closer. Which means I need to get my pregnant butt moving on getting her room ready. Which means I need to pick paint colors. Which means first, I need to figure out what I want the room to look like. Which means I need to pick bedding. After [...]"
what happens when a computer programmer tries to build a fire
November 26, 2006
"We have a fireplace in our finished basement that we’ve never used until last weekend, even though we’ve lived here for 2 1/2 years. That’s partly because we only recently had extra furniture for downstairs so we didn’t spend much time down there, and also because we weren’t sure the state of the thing. I [...]"

"Zoo today. So tired. Too much walking. Good night. More posts like this: half-assed November 28, 2006 week in review August 11, 2007 Sunday. November 2, 2008 refreshed April 23, 2007 sleeping is a sign of weakness, apparently March 16, 2008 "
just what I need, a new project
November 24, 2006
"Today was glorious. Slow-paced, sleeping in (until 8:15!), without much of a plan for the day. So I got started on a project I’ve been meaning to get to for months now: my photos and scrapbooks. Ever since I quit my job in July, I’ve been meaning to get back into it, but there have always [...]"
turkey day
November 23, 2006
"Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! (or at least, everyone in the US) I hope you all had a wonderful day spent with family and friends. We sure did- and of course overstuffed our bodies with 2 dinners in a span of 4 hours. And now, time for bed. This lady is tired. More posts like this: friday forum November 18, [...]"
another rough night
November 22, 2006
"So just when I was getting excited, thinking my cold was about over and done with.. it seemed to come back with a vengeance. Last night I couldn’t breath at all again, and was tossing and turning first in bed (poor Dan) and then on the couch. I watched 2 episodes of Dawson’s Creek (thanks, Netflix) [...]"
baby belly at 20 weeks
November 21, 2006
"So um… yeah. Guys? I look really pregnant. My jaw dropped when I really looked at myself in the mirror. Maybe it’s this shirt? (yeah that’s what all of us women always blame our body issues on, the clothes! heh) Not that I’m upset to look pregnant, but the fact that I’m only halfway there… if [...]"
who says that Mondays are terrible?
November 20, 2006
"Maybe it’s because the last 2 days or so have been so miserable, with all of the snot and coughing and sore throat and 2 (yes TWO!) boxes of Kleenex that I’ve sneezed and wiped my way through. But today… today was a good day. I was able to sleep last night, finally. Just what the [...]"
and it begins
November 19, 2006
"From what I can tell, motherhood comes with a plethora of opportunity for guilt. Everything from ‘Am I a good mother?’ to ‘Should I go back to work?’ to ‘Did I provide enough breastmilk for my baby?’ Apparently, at 5 months pregnant, it’s not too early for the guilt to start. I broke down and took a [...]"
all stuffed up
November 18, 2006
"Thanks to our stupidity of allowing Dan to drink out of my water mug at our baby class on Monday night, I caught his cold. We were SO CAREFUL before then, he wasn’t getting too near me because he was worried he’d get me sick. Then, like dumbasses, we both kinda forgot as he slathered [...]"
new-ness
November 17, 2006
"You should be seeing a new design right now… if not, try refreshing :) I’m still tinkering with some stuff, but for the most part everything is here. FACT OF THE DAY: Taking a hot shower while being 5 months pregnant + having a cold = HEAVEN. H-e-a-v-e-n. More posts like this: all stuffed up November 18, 2006 another [...]"
trials of a webdesigner
November 16, 2006
"I just spent the good part of my afternoon trying to figure out why I was getting a horizontal scrollbar (only in IE, of course) on one of my sites. I methodically went through and commented out each div block, finally narrowing it down to something in the header. Then I did a few different [...]"
hi, nice to meet you
November 15, 2006
"Just call me ‘Lazy, Pregnant Lady’. I slept from 10:30 last night to 9:30 this morning. oops! More posts like this: a quickie November 13, 2006 wondering February 14, 2006 perspective March 18, 2007 good and bad: this week so far August 26, 2008 well piss me off August 17, 2005 "
recipe: buffalo chicken pasta
November 14, 2006
"Since I’m more of a housewife now than I’ve ever been before (not that I had to go far to beat my previous status, heh) I think I’ll start posting some of the recipes I’ve been trying out lately. Some of them are from family members and I’ve had them sitting in my recipe box [...]"
a quickie
November 13, 2006
"Not much time to post today… I had a new client meeting this morning (went well!) and then tried to squeeze in some work this afternoon. I’m leaving soon to go to our baby class :) We’re going to meet downtown by Dan’s new work and have dinner first, and the class isn’t over until [...]"
things I did today
November 12, 2006
" Finished stuffing and addressing save-the-date letters for our 10 year high school reunion. I also made sure all of the addresses in the database were updated (at least as much as I could!) Washed, dried, folded, and PUT AWAY 4 loads of laundry. I emphasized the ‘put away’ part, because I always slack on that. Usually [...]"
cheap date
November 11, 2006
"Today was a fun day. We went to the Heinz History Center with Dan’s parents, who had 4 free passes. It was pretty cool- lots of geeky history stuff mixed with some awesome Pittsburgh sports history (especially the Steelers stuff!) Then afterwards we went to dinner at Chili’s, courtesy of the gift certificates we got [...]"
cereal and pinkness
November 10, 2006
"A few weeks ago I was grocery shopping, in the cereal aisle. Let me just say: I HATE shopping for cereal. It’s expensive and the ones I like seem like they’re NEVER on sale. But anyway, I was looking for something new in the cereal category. Then I saw a cereal I didn’t know they [...]"

"Today was G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S outside. And tomorrow is more of the same. Whatever we did to deserve November weather like this, I say we do it again!

ultrasound!
November 08, 2006
"Today was the big day, we had our 18 week ultrasound. Everything looks great, which is always a relief. And thankfully, mercifully, because God knows what a planner I am and I was totally preparing myself for the technician to say ‘Sorry, we can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl.’, but thankfully, they [...]"
food love
November 07, 2006
"Today I went to have lunch with my old coworkers, from 2 jobs ago. Part of the package was that I got to eat at my favorite restaurant EVER. And maybe it’s because I’m pregnant and starting to enter the eating phase, combined with the fact that it’s been so long since I had my [...]"
I’m such a downer.
November 06, 2006
"My throat is sore. I spent the last 2 nights tossing and turning in bed, while my legs were falling asleep and my hips were hurting because I’m at the point where I can no longer sleep on my back. A fact that is DRIVING ME INSANE. I never realized how much I like to sleep [...]"
