Two of Kona’s raddest tricks: 1. Kona and I are chillin on the couch. I make a “quack quack” sound like a duck. Kona perks up, jumps down, and goes to retrieve her duck doll, brings it to me. Good girl. 2. Kona is hanging out with me in my office. I look at her […]

Last week I finished reading “The Yiddish Policeman’s Union” by Michael Chabon. It seems like a lot of people who read this compared it to “Kavalier and Clay”, which is a waste of time since K&C was a masterpiece. On its own merit, I thought YPU was a good read, though it did start slowly […]

The other night I despaired while attempting to try on various adorable pajamas and nightgowns that once fit me but now look like sausage casing on my body. My legs are enormous. Breastmilk, breastmilk, it’s all future breastmilk!! And it’s all for her. So, I’m okay with it. Today I went to Pee in the […]

Ultrasound yesterday. They were behind schedule so we had to wait for over a half hour for our turn. The couple two appts ahead of us brought their entire family into the ultrasound room.

I took a Benadryl tonight, advised by my doctor, to help with all the congestion I have in the mornings that contributes to my stupid gagging problem. And I am now fading fast. Listening to Giants game on interweb. My ex was using the word “interweb” in 1998. I think he started that. Oh yeah. […]

Baby kicked me for a good solid hour this morning, just after I got to work. It needs its exercise, must continue developing wee muscles and joints. It’s still so small that the kicks are just little bursting bubbles, and I don’t know yet that someone else’s hand could feel them. Tonight I need to […]

Sunday Mia woke up at dawn and sang along with the fire engine passing somewhere outside.

Saturday Before I even got up, Derek was offering me toast and jam. I think living with a pregnant wife, he understood that we have certain needs.
