Five years ago, J and I attended a fantastic New Year’s Eve party. The drinks were flowing, the props superb (Michael Jackson hats and gloves, anyone?), and the people rockin’. Needless to say, I partied a little too hard and had some trouble getting back to my then-apartment in Baltimore. Luckily, J wasn’t quite as […]
With my last pregnancy, I was especially excited that so many people I knew were due within 3 months of each other. We shared our pregnancy symptoms, progresses, and worries with each other…and we were all certain that our babies would all become fast friends when they were born. Then I lost the baby. Sometimes […]
Google Reader (or RSS in general) has become so indispensable in my internet experience that if a site does not offer an RSS feed, it’s likely that I’ll never return again. And although I do my best to keep my Google Reader subscriptions to a minimum, I still subscribe to hundreds upon hundreds of feeds. […]
A few years ago, Joshua Opperman made headlines when he created the website I Do Now I Don’t. I’d been engaged for three months. After a tough day at work, I came home to find that my fiancée and all her belongings were gone. Well, almost everything was gone. That beautiful diamond engagement ring was […]
Dear Baby, In exactly one week we will be going to the hospital (not the OB’s office) for your first trimester screening, which includes a high-res ultrasound and bloodwork to test for the risk of common genetic defects such as down’s syndrome. This is an optional test for most expectant mothers, but our OB highly […]
I once knew a blogger who lived an enviable life. Not only was she gorgeous, her husband was extremely wealthy and handsome. She constantly wrote of her designer purchases, exotic getaways, and decorating their mansion with custom-made furniture and one-of-a-kind decor. Soon, she started getting snarky comments from readers who judged her for her lifestyle. […]
(Also, a major reason I have been MIA and probably will be for the next week or so…) Final Fantasy XIII was released earlier this week. I have only had time to play two days, but in those two days I managed to log over 26 hours of gameplay. I officially reached the halfway point […]
Today I found a fantastic website called The Endowment for Human Development (EHD). The EHD website’s “Movie Theater” has some great videos of babies in development. I have no idea how they got these in-womb footages, but they’re pretty amazing! Certainly a lot better than illustrations. P.S. — The last video in the “10 – […]
Last week, a NY chef made headlines by adding cheese made of human breast milk to his menu. The dish caused quite a stir and even managed to make its way to national news outlets. Those who tried the dish found it quite tasty; however, the general public found the mere idea of healthy adults […]
Dear Baby, Congratulations on reaching week 10! I celebrate each new week with a prayer and renewed hope. You are truly a gift and I can not be thankful enough. You are now the size of a kumquat, or a small prune as pictured to the left. The best news? You have now passed the […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
