Kettu's Dietary Restrictions
[for those local to me]
Baby Number Two is expected sometime in the next 3 weeks or so. We're hoping for sometime in May -- not any sooner or later. *fingers crossed* The only huge things I foresee needing assistance with is food prep and dishes. If you would like to make me food, this is good stuff to know. :)

fuck me. I'm sick again. AGAIN!

The last two times -- this time and the time before (strep), I can pinpoint having eaten too much sugar, thus depressing my immune system, as the cause of susceptibility. I don't know about the times before that ( Read more... ) -
GAH!! plus a bit of melodrama for your reading pleasure
