Does anybody remember me? I was thinking about LJ and how it was such a big part of my college years and now I'm an old lady with a kid and a mommy blog. Jeebus. Anyhoo, you can find me at germama.com (or on Facebook and Twitter). I'm still reading your posts when I can!!

Hey LJ! Just wanted to update you all. Rory Michelle was born a week ago (already been a week?! Agh!) on July 30 at 5:26 pm. My water broke at 3:45 am the day before, on the 29th. I was only 37 weeks and was sooo not prepared for that! It was a looong, 38 hour labor. I may try to post about it sometime. 7 lbs, 7 oz. 20 in long. We are adjusting to ( Read more... )

Sooo... honestly I still read my friends page every day, but the posting has gone to crap. Things here are going well and I feel pretty good! I am no longer so exhausted that I have to go to bed at 7:30. AND I was able to quit my job that was driving me batty so I can focus on the house and getting ready for the impending infant. "It" will be ( Read more... )

I'm going to fill out this 2008 survey a few weeks behind the times, because if I posted about what was going on it would all be whining about how I go to bed at 8:30 and feel like crap all the time. Hopefully things will improve in the next few weeks. Soooo, here's the survey:
