Introducing My Lovely Co-Host

…er — author.
Yeah.  I have a co-author for my book.
She started her blog three years ago with the intention of eventually writing the very same book I had started blabbing on about a few months back.  So when she wrote to me and asked me if I’d consider a co-author, I thought hard, but not [...]

Happy Birthday Two…

…my blog.
This is part II of a year-long self-centered retrospective on my TTC/pregnancy journey.  This is the pregnancy part.  I have tell you about these dykemom friends who have two kids about 14 months apart.  They had had trouble getting pregnant.  I remember when the second-to-get-pregnant mom was pregnant and we were hanging out with [...]

Happy Birthday to….

…my blog!  And my mom!
I won’t say how old my mother is.  She looks almost as young as me and her spirit is that of a twenty-year-old while I still sometimes trip over into worried grandma mode.  So happy happy, My Mama.
My blog is one year old today.  I thought I’d do what I’ve seen [...]

Going Second

I can’t decide if being the second one to give birth is better or worse.
Since I knocked her up at home, I think I may have had an unrealistic idea of how easily I could get pregnant.  I felt like we were experts.  I only bought 6 vials of our first child’s donor juice. Yet [...]

Chairy

Well, kids, I don’t have much new to report except that I’ve been sleeping on a chair. My week of vacation is almost over. I don’t feel at all refreshed. On the contrary, I feel pooped. I still have the #$%^&! cough that won’t die. I can’t lay flat, or [...]

My Other Wife

I went to the midwife yesterday. I took my mom with me, so she could hear her grandson’s heartbeat. Everything looks good. I’ve gained 16 lbs so far. Not too bad, I guess. My favorite part of the appointment was when she said, after squeezing me quite hard down by [...]

Haters

I won’t go into details, but some a$$hole actually called me a “breeder” today.
I was sick, tired, and toddler-mommying at the time, so it just got to me and I lost it and cried a lot and retold the story to a zillion people.  I made an official complaint, etc.
Now that I’m more calm (and [...]

HELP!

My latest post, “Haters” just showed up at the top of my blog next to “About Me”  do any of you wordpress folks know how to fix this?
Thanks.

I’d Like You to Know That This Will Go Down…

….on your permenant record.
Oh, yeah?
Well don’t get so upset!
Did I happen to mention that I’m impressed? –The Violent Femmes
So, yeah. I swear I wasn’t going to have a baby registry. You don’t need one for your second child. We have everything we need, except non-poison-leeching bottles, tiny diapers and a [...]

Betty Sue’s Got a New Pair of Shoes

I don’t know about you, but when I get a new pair of shoes, if I love them, I regress.  I become a seven year old.  I can’t stop looking down at them.  I check myself out in store windows and any shiny surface.  I stand in a way that will hopefully get other people [...]
