Baby Hogs

This a little follow-up to a post written by firsttimesecondtime, the link is in my last post.
I’m thinking about baby hogging.  While I was reading ftst’s post about how she’s a little afraid her personality might cause her to become that very same type of gestational parent  baby hog she often dislikes in other relationships, [...]

The Last Time I Was Here

It is inevitable.  When I go on a trip somewhere I’ve already been I spend a lot of time thinking about the last time I was there.  The last time we went to my honey’s mom’s house in South Carolina, my blog was three months young.  It was July 4 weekend, 2007.  I think.  I’m [...]

Post Post Partum Post, Hope and the Queer Spawn Club

My hair is falling out.
There’s a tribble in the shower every time I bathe.  Before I bathe, even.  Every time I run my fingers through my hair, a big clump comes out.  It is gross.  And it freaked me out until my yoga teacher explained that, no, I wasn’t going bald.  Apparently, while you’re pregnant, [...]

Family with a Capital F

There’s this list of legal stuff gay moms have to do when they have a baby.  Ummm.  Yeah.  That.  Well, let’s just say we haven’t even really gotten started on the list yet.  Unless you consider “Give birth,” to be an item on the list.
We should:

Get second-parent adoption started, say, while you’re pregnant
Update wills
Make sure [...]

Preschool Democracy (and the Post In Which Oneofhismoms Screams From the Rooftops)

This was the scene in the elevator when my honey and Gwen took Cakie and three-year-old  “Hymen” to vote on election day:
The doors opened on the third floor and in walked Bill.
Bill: Where are you guys going?
Cake: We gonna vlote!  We gonna vlote!
Hymen: We’re going on a boat.
Bill:  Really?  You’re going to vote?
Cake:  We gonna [...]

FW:My Invented Chain Email

I sent this email to a bunch of people.  I’ve always wanted to start an email chain letter.  Even though I loathe them.  Here it is.  Feel free to copy and paste and claim it as your own:
Subject heading: I Forfeit My Magical Powers
I have magical powers over certain people.
Until recently, I did not know [...]

This Ought to Be Good…

My brother has a blog! Aaaaaaaah!
He’s funnier than I am with a more bizarre sense of humor.  I always thought he’d end up on Saturday Night Live, but this has yet to come to fruition.
His blog is also more mulitsensory than mine.  The lastest post includes his own person re-mix of “Safety Dance.”
Check it [...]

What We Didn’t Know The First Time

Yesterday, my honey and I took a hookey day.
That is, she took a vacation day and we still sent Cakie to daycare and we took the baby clothes shopping (since he doesn’t know that he hates it yet.)  We both no longer fit into our old clothes.  Well, I threw mine away after I liked [...]

Fractions

1 whole maternity leave = 1/2 over
1 half maternity leave = remaining
1/4 of my last baby’s first year = done like dinner
3/4 of my last baby’s first year = stretching out ahead of us like a shining 50 yard dash to toddlerhood
1/2 of my family = boys
1/2 of my family = women
oops!  2/5 of my [...]

Coming Out Storytime!

I woke up this morning to a full bed.  Cakie snuck in sometime in the morning and was sleeping across the foot of the bed.  Trucker was in the co-sleeper.  The cat was taking up half of my side.  My honey was on the other side. Despite the fact that I had to remain in [...]
