Most likely this is the last analogy before Sarah has the baby, who weighs about five pounds, the size of a bag of sugar. I’m actually surprised at a weight analogy this week from babycenter, since they haven’t used one since 20 weeks. Sarah is 35 weeks pregnant now. Her due date is May 20, [...]
(first Power of ONEsie display, Washington D.C.) Here’s a project to work on, as if we all don’t have enough going on. I joined the Moms Rising list, a Move-On-esque group advocating for good state and workplace policies for parents. I’m sure I’ve blogged about The Motherhood Manifesto before*, and Moms Rising is the organization [...]
With death, comes life. Or so they say at Easter, for the changing of the seasons, or between a funeral and a birth, three points that describe my current position. This week’s picture was taken yesterday, #95 out of 365 pictures this year. These blocks and giraffe are toys from our baby shower at Mom’s [...]
It’s not too hard to proclaim your sex or gender on a baby bib, or on any baby clothes clothes for that matter. Target, and any other store selling baby stuff, will make it very easy: pink and blue on one side of the isle, green and yellow on the other. If you know the [...]
Ok, so I haven’t been checking MySpace in quite a long time. This week someone asked to be my friend, which means I get an email to that regard, subsequently reminding me of my own online presence there. In checking, I notice I’ve been getting comments. Belated apologies to old friends Kristen and Jd. for [...]
(Sparkling Sun and Honolulu Blue from Benjamin Moore) Here’s a fun game. We have a color swatch from Benjamin Moore, and lots of really white walls. We figure that the rooms will generally be one tone, although we might switch up the shades or colors from room to room. For the kid’s room, however, we [...]
Since Sarah is Obviously Pregnant now, at 25 weeks, people whom we don’t usually discuss her pregnancy and our future baby (read: practical strangers) have been asking some personal questions. So I thought I’d list the Top Questions To Expect When You’re Expecting, Asked and Answered: Q: Do you know if it’s a boy or [...]
Baby Blogging here at everyday life has been severely hampered, on account of the lack of fruit or vegetable comparisons from BabyCenter. My entire modus operandi for this blog post theme has been squashed. Babycenter seems to have dropped all comparisons after 20 weeks, as have other sources, except for seemingly one final comparison: for [...]
Here’s why I don’t pay attention to the baby fear culture. Last week I received an email with the subject heading that 10 out of 12 brands of car seats failed crash tests, and hence are no good. Here is the list from that email: The Good Baby Trend Flex-Loc Adjustable Back Graco Snugride with [...]
Last week our future baby was the size of a zucchini. This week babycenter does not attribute a comparison food, although fetus size from head to toe is now at 10 inches. This is our 20th week, which is the half way point. That hardly seems believable, especially since it’s not the half way point [...]
