Give or take, of course. I cannot believe that I am so close to my due date. This ride is about to get a lot more interesting. Not that I've been bored, ever... But... I am going to be the mama of *2* kidlets! I know, thanks Capt. Obvious, but sometimes I feel like I'm going to be giving birth to Tai again. Yes, Slyko will be a newborn, as he ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my first OB appointment - well, technically I was meeting with a CNM - at UCSF.  I made the appointment weeks ago, but yesterday was the first appointment suggested.  It was funny...  I had been looking forward to the appointment for ages.  But as it got closer, I started getting a little worried.  Like, maybe I wasn't really pregnant ( Read more... )

There are about a billion things I want to post about: a particular night out a couple of weeks ago (damn, that long already?!), vegetarianism/veganism, a letter to Tai, a Tai update, and a whine about some craziness that's happening between a neighbor and us.  Instead I'm going to start by tossing my hands in the air and begging to know whether ( Read more... )

I'm having a rough day today.  Tai woke up super-early this morning - before 6am.  No one was happy about that.  He had his first tantrum before 8:30. ( Cut for the Whine )

It's Tuesday evening and I finally got a decent Toddler Break, so I'm doing much better.  Also, Tai hasn't had a fever at all since last night (when it was possibly just a degree or two) so he's feeling much better too.  I hadn't really appreciated how easy it is to deal with him by myself until he got sick.  Today he was a total charmer in ( Read more... )

I'm having a tough, self-pitying day.  ( Read more... )
