I know most of you couldn't give a rat's ass about all of the sewing that I've been doing recently. Sorry about that, but I am really enjoying myself. Besides that, we *really* need to bring in a little more money. I make a decent income with The State, but we've been cutting it close a few too many months. Megan isn't working outside the home ( Read more... )

I called this morning to try to talk them into referring me to a good U/S machine next week.  I even pulled out the Thanksgiving card and told them that we wanted to know what (if anything) we should tell family next week.  They were very firm that it would do no good to wait only a week and basically to suck it up and wait.  They ARE going to do ( Read more... )

Quinn had her check-up today.  No shots, though, because we are going away this weekend and didn't want to have her be cranky.  Below are her updated height/weight charts.  She is still fairly tall (32" 70th percentile) and fairly slender (21 pounds, 11 ounces 15th percentile).  Her weight was a jump up from 5th percentile at the last time.  I'm ( Read more... )

Well, it was a pretty boring dr's appointment, which I suppose is the best kind to have. Quinn was strangely docile when the doctor was in the room, but still managed to show off a few skillz. She had to get two shots. It was terrible because she is old enough now to understand that *something* is causing her pain. It's not just some random OW ( Read more... )

I went to the OB/Gyn yesterday for my annual (Dr. K, for you locals).  It was a fun visit.  You don't often hear that, do you ( Read more... )

I have so much to tell you, but so little time. Here are the highlights...

Quinn had her first birthday party this weekend. She was an absolute angel (despite no afternoon nap) and everyone left knowing that we have the best, most adorable baby in the whole world. She was completely spoiled by all those in attendance. Oh, and cake is good. She ( Read more... )

• Happy Belated Birthday, Stacey! I know, we suck. Does it help that we thought about you all day? We really did.
• I have had terrible migraines for several days. Miscellaneous drugs have taken the edge off, but it keeps coming back with a vengeance. Today is MUCH better. The rains have arrived and that is usually a sign of good things to come. ( Read more... )

Megan and I went to Grant hospital tonight for the labor and delivery tour. We think that if we decide to give birth in a hospital that probably we want to go there. They are very much "create your birthing plan and we'll follow it". I like that. They also are the only hospital with a laboring tub. We didn't get to see it because it was being ( Read more... )

Ugh! I was so disappointed with our dr visit yesterday. I had done so much reading and we went in there with a plan and my charts, etc. I just wanted to ask them some questions to help tie things together (like how do they meet the "doctor supervision" requirement for at home insemination with fresh sperm so that the donor's paternity rights are ( Read more... )
