We’ve now been through another round of the birth wringer. The metabolic folks, non-stress nurses and sonogram people have provided their input and we have been scheduled for a c-section on the 17th of October.
This is a week early for Ben - since his due date was the 24th - but it’s a necessary thing. […]
Chris got me thinking, and that’s often a painful thing to do at this time of year. Where did my summer go? I feel like I’ve missed it completely. Too few evenings chasing fish till dusk. No late night geocache raids, no nights spent behind a friends telescope, or the viewfinder of a camera.
Maya-watch came […]
It arrived. It took 2 long months of waiting - but it arrived. I was enlightened, and entertained. I was amused, and embarrassed. And even though Annie Serteich made fun of people like me (Bloggers, and nerds) I feel great.
Why? My copy of “Subject Line Here” arrived. The event […]
Carb counting and drywall. It’s all I think about. That and the fish I should be hunting, articles I should be writing and blogs that no-one is seeing.

Greg got kicked in the head last night. Probably the first of many, I’m sure. The kick was from the baby, of course, not from me. He gets stronger every day, and it’s kind of fun watching my belly do contortions on its own.
I told Greg that now I’m at 22 weeks […]
It’s open country out here on the internet-o-web-o-sphere-a-tron. When there is a drought of blog material (as there has been in my world) I read other blogs. But heres the thing… I’m not lacking in things to blog about. I’m lacking in the moments to write them. I’m lagging behind in […]

Function: noun
Etymology: alteration of mimeme, from mim- (as in mimesis) + -eme
: an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture
These ‘things’ that spread like wildfire on the internet - like the dancing hamster (grrr) or the bananaphone - which I won’t […]

It was quite a day. 2:30pm I took a very needing to pee wife to the Medical Imaging Office at Hy’s Centre in Downtown Edmonton.
While the Dr. had confirmed the pregnancy 2 weeks ago - I needed to hear / see it […]

So. The first official BLOG post. I’ll try to make the story short. About the 14th of February - Lin started complaining about some … upper body discomfort… It was bearable - but unpleasant.
We rode that out for a few days - and […]
