I Got My Diapers!!!

And I’m so freaking excited!  Lucy and I just unpacked the box and everything is so wee and cute I could squee
Hurrah for The Stork Wearhouse!  I am so totally excited–can’t it be October already?  These last weeks are a killer, wanting the baby desperately and being terrified of him coming prematurely.

Sigh

I got home from my shift at the CSA pick-up last night and, after feeding myself and Lucy, settled into the glider with my to-do list.  I have several going these days, ranging from the overall before-the-baby to the one I started on the subway in to my appointment yesterday which was to be separated [...]

The ‘I Wants’ and other things

We took Lucy to see Mary Poppins on Broadway yesterday.  The show itself was quite a spectacle, although both C and I were a bit disappointed that the nuances of the movie were pretty well erased (no woman’s suffrage so comments made about what women could do were taken out of historical context as well [...]

On furniture

After several years of searching for the ideal computer desk (we’ve been using a piece of crap CVS desk since 2002) my MIL found, last night, the absolutely most perfectest armoire ever!  After some shuffling and confirming with my husband and child that it was, indeed, perfect, we ordered it this morning.  And, get this.  [...]

5 Questions from Thordora

Look!  Two blogs in one day!  WOuld any of you be surprised if I told you about the jackhammer across the street?  Woohoo!
1. The obvious-have you picked a name yet?!!!

4 am is a miserable time to be awake

Our apartment has been hit by insomnia.  Namely Lucy’s night-waking, which means, of course, that I am now awake as well. A few hours ago, when she first came into Big Beddy with us, I was concerned about the cause.  Hereabouts I just want to be able to unclench everything long enough to fall back [...]

Things that are making me happy

I finally got around to ordering cloth diaper supplies, cloth menstrual pads for post-partum and wool nursing pads!  Lucy and I picked out the perfect navy velour footie sleeper with smocking for the baby to wear home from the hospital!  I am not anemic (although I am on the borderline) so I don’t have [...]

Sweltering

We’ve been back for a few days but my brain still isn’t all here.  Everything alive survived our absence, and aside from three inches of crusty carpet to vacuum, the house was pretty ok.  I’m even mostly unpacked!
Had my glucose screen yesterday and the chick who took my blood must’ve rushed because I have this [...]

Ask me about pre-Columbian water migration!

One of the best side-effects of C’s anthropologifyin’ is that I get to learn about all sorts of stuff I never knew I didn’t know.  Like Thor Heyerdahl.  Kind of cool, no?  This is what I was reading about at eleven last night.  Then we talked about labor choices, and then I collapsed, ragdoll-like shortly [...]

Too much and not enough

It’s funny…as I have spoken to people about the 90% reduction project, some really seem to think that such a reduction is impossible.  To be honest, I don’t know if it’s possible for this household to reach 90% reduction, and even if we do in the categories in which we’re participating, that still leaves the [...]
