Just a quick note to say that I am enjoying watching my stretch marks grow.  They started on my hips and have now snuck under my belly.  More every day. And this morning in the shower I was...

Hi, my dearies, I'm feeling bad that I haven't been keeping up with DS.  I suppose it's good when one stops needing the support group so desperately.  But bad when one loses touch with her friends...

A friend of mine told me once that the best baby gift for anyone would be a laminating machine.  Because he said that the first few months of a baby's life could be summed up in one word:...

No, I didn't go anywhere, except Boston for the weekend.  But that doesn't account for my not writing.  The only reason I can think that it took me three weeks to put another report up is that...

Remember the scene in Alien when Sigourney Weaver had the alien break out of her stomach?  I have two aliens in mine, but they are the least of my problems.  Not problems, I guess, but...

My friends, my friends, thank you for being so reassuring.  The morning after I read all that stuff on the Internet, I was so worried that my neck and shoulders hurt.  Talk about tension! I had...

We had our 16 week sonogram the other day.  It was eventful in that I threw up during it (you know how I love public vomiting) and after we spent a half an hour watching the pretty pictures of our...

My sweet husband has observed, pretty accurately, that I have three modes: busy, hungry, and sleepy.  I go go go go go go go -- and can't just sit and relax -- until I suddenly get hungry.  BAM!...

Everyone is duly informed now.  We had a great trip to upstate NY to tell James's parents -- but what a long drive.  We had to stop half-way there and buy me a pillow and blankie for the rest of...

Today we're making the road trip to upstate NY to tell James's parents that we're pregnant.  Surely they must have guessed by now, but James points out that his family is really good at...

I just heard that the father of our dear friend Ashley (known here as AshleyPenelope) was life-flighted to the hospital yesterday after a head-on highway collision with an 18-wheeler.  He seems to...

I learned today that I'm 12 weeks along, not 11.  So I think that's the end of the first trimester, isn't it?  I've heard both 12 and 13. Today we had a great morning that comprised 2.75 hours...

I'm 10+ weeks now, and the end is in sight. The end of the horrible part, I mean.  I hope. I had this exact thought (at 9 weeks) just after I wrote my last entry.  It was a Sunday afternoon and as...

A few nights ago I was contemplating the idea of misery.  I thought about the scene in Stephen King's book/movie where Kathy Bates slams the guy's ankles with a sledgehammer.  I thought about the...

The good news is that James's wireless laptop is working again, so I won't have to sit up to work at the computer.  Writing is such a good outlet for me, and I've really missed it. I've been flat...
