It’s been a while, and lots of things have happened.
I haven’t updated this blog (or the mirror-blogs on WP or LJ) since January. During that time, the following has occurred:- Baby shower was held, many presents unwrapped.
- Baby nursery was completed.
- Obstetrician attempted an “external cephalic version” (ECV or “Version”), an external attempt to manipulate/turn a 100% breech baby. Jellybean’s head ( Read more... )

Happy (Belated) New Year
Speaking purely for myself, while 2013 was a decent year (all things considered), I'm happy to be leaving it behind and moving into 2014. Our family has dubbed it "the year of the baby," which sounds both optimistic and ominous, all at the same time.
We had a quiet Christmas in Phoenix. It felt very weird not traveling for the holidays. Even though ( Read more... ) -

Prognosis - Dark. Mood - Darker.
I wanted to write this earlier in the week, but I was just too tired.
Wednesday, HG dropped Dozer off for his MRI. The appointment was 9am. He would be under general anesthesia (to ensure he didn’t move during the procedure) for an hour. The plan was for me go to into work super-early to attend my 6am meetings (screw you, Eastern timezone), and ( Read more... ) -
Maintaining the status quo
Song stuck in my head today: “Don’t drop that thun thun thun,” - Finatticz
You’ll notice I’m never stuck with a graceful earworm like Carmina Burana or a scherzo by Rimsky-Korsakov. It’s usually ghetto-punk hiphop that displays my woeful taste in morning-commute music. Hey… Sirius Morning Mashup? Or CNN Morning Joe? Some days, you need more pop ( Read more... )
