So if Figgy comes when Kaden did, she'll arrive on September 21st. That sounds fine to me. That gives me four days to recover before we go out to dinner for our anniversary and three whole weeks before we introduce her to everyone at my birthday party. And it's a nice birthday, isn't it? But I'm trying to be open to the fact that she could come ( Read more... )

I had a productive day. Wrote a crit this morning, then did several loads of laundry. I put the radio on while i was folding and found a new station that plays "All the Hits Ever Made!" which is kind of a weird tag line, but then they busted out into "Mustang Sally" and that was it, I had to put down the shirt and start dancing ( Read more... )

I'm getting stronger, putting on weight, all that good stuff. Usually I'm pretty tired in the evenings and can't do much more than eat dinner and read in bed. But last night I stayed up till 9:30 writing a crit for my online writers group, and I actually cooked and ate a whole, real dinner ( Read more... )

Crap.

Why does no one ever know anything definitively? Why does EVERYONE have to say something different? The Dannus sent me information about ozone dangers from air filters and I did some more research. Ozone IS harmful to fetal health, which means our EcoQuest Fresh Air purifier is potentially harmful because it generates extremely high levels ( Read more... )
