Wish You Were Here!

The man of mystery, his mama and I are off for the weekend to the mountains for mocktails and prenatal massage and pretty views of mountains.
I had a lovely evening with my lady friends tonight.  There were a crazy amount of pregnant lesbian couples all in one room tonight.  Crazy.  And a few new mommies, [...]

Man of Mystery and a Possible Omen

Today started off rough.  I work six blocks from my home.  I usually walk.  Today it was pouring, I had a huge bag of report card materials to carry, I’m eight months pregnant and I wanted to drive to my midwife appointment after school.  So I decided to drive.  The battery was dead in my [...]

Baby Gift

I’ve been going to my prenatal yoga class since I was five weeks pregnant. (Aka, one week after my positive pregnancy test.) I love my teacher, who is also a doula, as well as her business partner who often tells you to use your abdominal muscles to “hug your baby.”
We weren’t sure what [...]

Turn, Turn, Turn

At my last midwife appointment, on the same day as “The View– Lesbo Style,” I was told that my fetus is no longer head down. He was head up. Head in the clouds. Like some people I know.
I was only 31 weeks. The midwife said I didn’t need to [...]

A Cakie Story

Ok, so sometimes I do double-post.  This time I’m being even lazier.
There’s a funny Cakie story on my other blog.
It won’t take you but a moment to read.  Cheers.

Pause Button?

Now I’m starting to remember my honey’s eighth month of pregnancy.
Many of you are pretty familiar with the TTC roller coaster: inseminate, wait, experience phantom pregnancy symptoms, test/bleed, repeat.  The pregnancy trip is a little different.  There’s the three months of quiet excitement (quiet, that is, if you have chosen not to tell others until [...]

Dear Thoughtful Colleague or Passerby:

I know in my heart of hearts that it really is quite sweet and thoughtful of you to say, “How are you feeling?”  It means that you are recognizing my huge belly and the fact that it is probably making me feel a certain way. I do feel incredibly happy about being pregnant.  I do.  [...]

The View — Lesbo Style

I went to an event at the Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Trangender Community Service Center last night.
It was all about pregnancy and women who have written books. Hello? Several things happened.
I learned some stuff. One thing I learned is that I have, for the past 13-15 years been pronouncing the name of [...]

Mother #$%^er

Uh.
I just gave the post that title to grab your attention. Slick, eh?
Actually, I feel like I should be writing something witty and deep about mothers.
All I can say is that if every woman who bore us: those of us reading this, those of us we love, even those of us we don’t like [...]
