Things not to say to a pregnant lady
I may have already shared my first conversation with this neighbor. I can’t remember, so please forgive me if this is repetitive. I also want to note that I like this person very much and consider him...

37 weeks (+ 2 days)
I had said I’d do pregnancy updates on weeks I have OB appointments, but now that I’m in the weekly phase that seems like a bit much for the full version. I’ll do a shorter version instead. I was...

Five Things Friday
1) This may be the greatest movie ever made. It is a tornado. Of sharks. 2) Every time I hear “Roxanne” by The Police all I can think is “Ross can!” If you don’t get that reference I’m sorry but we...

What I’ve been reading lately
I love to read, but hit a bit of a slump over the last few months. I had trouble finding books that excited me, and therefore wasn’t reading all that much (besides What to Expect, of course). Recently...

Bad things happen in threes
The saying is that bad things happen in threes, and I really hope that is the case because we’ve had some bad luck lately and I really hope it’s done now. First the AC went in my car, which was an...

39 weeks
39 weeks done. One week to go. (Until my due date, anyway, because yes, I know, baby could be late. Or early.) I truly cannot believe I’m at this point. It’s hard to imagine that the little appleseed I...

Restaurant review: Perk on Main

Emotional

Five Things Friday
1) I almost hit a bicyclist yesterday. Totally my fault; when I looked left she must have been blocked by the stop sign that, at that intersection, is in the center of the road. I started to go and...

Five Things Friday: New Mom Edition

I hate breast feeding. There. I said it. I feel like it’s taboo to hate nursing your child. After all, it’s natural and the healthiest, best thing for baby. It’s an amazing bonding experience for...
