Brian is at the store buying some groceries, including ingredients for a peanut butter banana cream pie I am going to make. My nesting and seclusion are taking the form of cooking and baking. For dinner tonight I made an elaborate tuna noodle casserole. It’s not total seclusion; I did take Kona for a walk […]

Fall is certainly here — we have seen the last of the hot weather and I think that very soon it may even freeze at night. So yesterday Brian and I spent a few hours breaking down the vegetable garden. We pulled out everything but the acorn squash — which has produced a couple of […]

I can’t believe October 12 is actually here. This morning at just after two a.m. I woke up and felt a dull but intense pain in my belly. Hmm, I thought. Hmmmmm. I rolled myself out of bed and stood, leaning on the mattress, feeling the pain continue. Brian was awake at this point and […]

I’m not very happy about the baseball playoffs this year. The teams involved are fairly predictable, with the long shots (Twins) assumed to have no shot of advancing. The two teams I despise the most (Los Angeles and Los Angeles) seem certain to continue to the next round. I can’t say I really care for […]

Well, I caved and ordered some clothing from babygap.com this morning. Even when I worked there two years ago I appreciated how stylish and cute their baby clothes are. In the baby girl department, there is a distinct lack of wall-to-wall pink. Sure, some of the clothes are pink, but a healthy percentage are not, […]

Through observation and keen intelligence, Kona has determined that the cats are not allowed to be on the kitchen counter. In other words, when one of them hops up there, we scold and remove them, and Kona has taken notice. So now, she has taken it upon herself to police this activity for us, to […]

Brrr. Looks like I went on leave just in time. It’s 46 degrees outside and there’s no way any of my winter coats come even close to being zipped or buttoned. So I’m cozy inside in my tent of a nightgown, having a cup of coffee and a freshly baked homemade cheddar biscuit (recipe courtesy […]

Feeling so huge and also heavy today. Like there’s a bag of bricks rolling around in my pelvis. I took Kona for a walk and we went sooo. Sloooow. Poor pup probably hated it. I just felt pressure the whole time. Got home and poured a little glass of juice, immediately knocked it to the […]

Something that has occurred to us as we get closer to childbirth: there will be a new person living in our house. For years now it’s just been me and Brian, and our pets. When he goes off to do something, I’m alone. But very soon, there will be this third person. Yes, she’ll be […]
