Don’t lose it…
And by “it” I mean the belly band you bought early in your pregnancy so you wouldn’t have to wear maternity pants. For someday there will be a day today when your pregnancy jeans won’t stay up and your regular jeans won’t button up you will wish you could remember where the heck you stashed …
So much to write about… or, “How to Teach Infants to Make Faces”
There is so much to write about and I have so little focus for writing right now. In the next week or so I want to blog about Oliver’s birth, recovery from birth, our time at home, and visits from family. In the mean time, here’s a quick little story that involves Liz (my sister …
Daddy is Awesome!
Hello all! I haven’t had too much time for blogging with the running around we’ve been doing over the past couple of days. Note to self: when it comes to running around in the first week or two LESS IS MORE! Less running around = more time to rest and recuperate. Amanda, take note. …

40 weeks & 2 days
We walked a very slow 3 miles through the arboretum to VeeVee for a Vee sandwich. Here’s hoping the walk or the tasty egg, bacon, & avocado sandwich will help move things along! 4:45 update: another mile and a half to get home, a bath, and then later off to dinner with Ron and …
40 Weeks
Today is the official due date. Let’s see what happens… Update at 10:00 pm – as of right now nothing to report. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
No Bump Today
39 weeks and 5 days… Today’s visit to the midwives revealed that Bump is pretty happy where he is right now. Sigh.* I was hoping to hear that there was a little more progress at this point. With that in mind Jeremy and I ventured over to Somerville for a little Tu Y Yo spiciness …
