I delayed posting here because I was planning on writing a Very Long Post filled with Gruesome Details. That will still happen--someday. Instead, this is just a Long Post with some Gruesome, and I'll edit in some more grue later. Now that I'm spending 12 out of every 24 hours just on baby-feeding duties, and trying to sleep at least 4-6, things are ( Read more... )

Drs apt soon.

I fully expect to be told I'm having lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions (practice ones that mean nothing).

Really, the post subject line says it all ( Read more... )

Anybody have any recommendations or dis-recommendations for a webcam? I'm looking for something with good quality but not top-of-the-price-range that I can hook up to my Windows 7 system for videochats with the new grandparents (who are very insistent on the necessity of a webcam so they can see the baby).
