Guest Post: I’m a Mac. No, a P.C. Neither? Both?

Nov 04. 2011

The following post comes from Nodakademic, a blogger-wife-student-professional (yeah, I don't know how she does it all either) who resides in the chilly state of North Dakota. I really enjoy her blog and I think that we can be friends in real life if we didn't live so far apart. Isn't it funny how blogging can help form relationships with people you would otherwise have no clue of their existence? In this guest post, Nodakademic writes about the great geek debate: P.C. or Mac? I, personally, am a Mac girl but I agree with her that the quality of Apple has gone downhill in the past few years. (And I probably would have switched to P.C. or Linux if I don't have all this...

Claire Meets Aerin

Nov 02. 2011

She was not very amused. If anything, she seemed a bit scared and intimidated. And when she saw me holding her little sister for the first time, she started to cry. :-( Her grandfather had to take her away and distract her with some ballons so that she wouldn't throw a fit right there in the hospital room.

Nov 01. 2011

Aerin Isabel was born 11/1/11 at 9:20am, weighing 6 lbs 11 oz and measuring 19.5" long. Delivery was remarkably easy and complication-free (she was out in three pushes!); the baby very healthy and alert. I feel incredibly blessed that both Claire and Aerin made their entries into this world so smoothly. My first thought upon seeing Aerin for the first time was that she looked EXACTLY like Claire when she was born -- they even have the same dimple on the left corner of their mouths! But now, a few hours after delivery -- with her features becoming more defined and less flattened -- she is beginning to resemble her dad. The pictures above were taken just moments after birth.

7 Centimeters

Nov 01. 2011

I continued to have mild contractions for the rest of yesterday, and tried my best to go to sleep despite the discomfort. At around 3am, the contractions started to become quite painful and I began to time them using a contractions app I had downloaded for my phone. About 45 minutes later, I finally woke up J and we called his parents to come watch Claire so that we could head to the hospital. I was a bit scared that we would be sent back home, because that is what happened last year when I went into labor with Claire -- my contractions were not yet regular and I was not dilated enough to be admitted. But this was the real deal,...
