To Do List:

Go to food coop. Do possible final pre-baby shop. When I dropped my honey off at work she said, “See you later. Don’t go into labor at the food co-op.” To which I replied, “Why not? There’s bound to be a midwife within ten feet!” And Gwen, who also got a [...]

Unplugged

Well, people.  I lost my mucus plug.
Which could mean I may go into labor in a few hours, or a few days.
Which I already kind of knew.  But it was still exciting to have something, rather than nothing happen for once!

This Woman’s Work

Thanks for checking my blog so much. I feel like I should be more entertaining than usual or something.
Since I have a captive audience, I thought I’d ramble a little about one of my favorite topics… being a non-bio mom. My honey put me on honey-prescribed bedrest today. Mostly because my toes [...]

Birth Story (Draft)

Ok, not mine. I didn’t do it yet. Psych!
I have an acquaintance who has an interesting one, though. I want to sort of do what she did. While she was pregnant, she would tell everyone the story of how she would give birth:
I’ll be working at home with my husband. [...]

Sweeping Up

I can retell my midwife appointment today in less than one word.  Ready?
“?”
My honey came again.  I was in the room with my two wives.  Midwifey said, “Well, do you have any questions?”
Me: Yes!  Where is he?
MW: Well, we know where he is.
My Honey: We just don’t know when we’ll see him.
Me: I can see [...]

TMI: My Belly Button’s Purpose

Ok, I warned you about the TMI, but this is so funny, I have to share.
Don’t tell my girlfriend I blogged about this.  She’s way too prissy. Shhh. (That means you, Gwen!)
You know how my belly button sticks out?  Like a button?
It doesn’t always.  When I pee, as I pee, it sloooooowly goes back in.  [...]

When Am I Going to Pop?

Good question, Eggdrop.
Everyday my good friend, nethermede, calls me. She doesn’t say hello. She just yells, “STILL PREGNANT?”
Everyday my mom calls. She doesn’t say hello either. She says, “Soooooo, how are yooooou?
Did you ever have PMS for three weeks straight? Because that is what the last month of pregnancy is turning [...]

Buckets of Babies!

We need to change the name of our preg-lez (well, officially mommies-to-be) group. I woke up this morning to two exciting emails. Two more babies arrived in the world this past weekend. That makes four new lesbian moms in the world. All-in-all, I’m pretty sure all of the women in the [...]

I Guess I Don’t look Pregnant From Behind

This is the hands-down funniest “you don’t even look pregnant from behind” comment I have received of date. I was walking to my midwife appointment in Manhattan. I was happily wearing a pretty summer tank dress and I guess doing a walk, more than a waddle. A car pulled up slowly behind me [...]
