Sixteen days until our due date. I gained almost 4 pounds in one week. Hoo-rah. No internal check because the midwife was running 30+ minutes behind and in a hurry. She said she’d guess that we’re 100% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated but there’s no telling until she checks but then she never got around [...]
Buy another memory card. One 2-gig card is Not. Enough. when you have 3 cameras in constant use (and are about to have a baby!); the closest camera to the action will never be the one with the memory card in it. Murphy’s Law.
Buy another battery charger for the rechargeable batteries for [...]
I noticed this morning that the sunshine promotes kicking. :-) There’s definitely some dance lessons or soccer practicing going on in there this morning. (The stripes are from the miniblinds)

The boys’ rooms are bigger than they’ve ever been. :-)
We have a “toy” room.
Since moving in, we have spent more time outside than we ever did before. This has pushed [...]
Okay, if we go by our guessed due date of December 6th, we’re 14 weeks along (more or less since it’s all a guess) and today I felt two tiny bump-bump thumps very low, front, center during lunch. I’m convinced it was the baby. And if it wasn’t? So what. I’ll be feeling them more [...]
Lauren and James were in swim class together back when they were both, like, 9 months old. Now she’s getting so big!
I’m trying out another video hosting site just to see what options are out there. I like this one because it’s not blocked by David’s work’s filter (though that will not be [...]
