EFB
He’s healthy and happy. Seven pounds, twelve ounces. Born at 4:05 am on August 8, 2007. Michele is doing very well (now that it’s over!) after a very long two days. We’ll be posting tons of photos, of course. For now, only one. I’m beat. Off to the hospital to see my baby and my…

Early Labor. No End In Sight.
Updates at bottom of post I had my 40-week check-up yesterday. The nurse took my blood pressure. It was high. She didn’t seem too alarmed. I was very alarmed. I don’t mean to brag, (like I have any say in it at all) but all of my life I have had a blood pressure that…

Tobyjoe: 3. Michele: 1.
Tobyjoe is a heavy sleeper. He’s not so bad in the middle of the night. At night, I am able to wake him up without too much of a problem. It’s the morning that this feat fairs difficult. He’s just not a morning person. I am very much a morning person. I wake up and…

And I wasn’t going to write about it, but I’m so frustrated, so annoyed with how things have been dealt with by Time Warner Cable (Road Runner) I can’t hold back any longer. And whatever insight people might have, whatever ideas come…

39 Weeks.
Last night was rough. I peed every hour and then each time I spent five minutes wrestling with intense Braxton Hicks contractions. They were harsh enough to make my legs ache. That’s the best way I can describe it although the pain feels a bit like someone is puling on a nerve. Or a hundred…

The Members Project and DonorsChoose
About six months ago, I began working with a new client. They quickly became one of my favorites. They are perfect in a dozen different ways. They help me sleep better at night. They’re also super easy to work with and completely down to earth. They’re a graphic designer’s dream come true. They even know…

10 Serious Washes Later…
… and things are looking much less goth. You’re looking at a shot of the hair dye job I wrote about on Sunday. (I’m sort of cursing myself that I didn’t take a picture when it first happened. It was so dark and startling. Sorry, mom!) The good news is, the color washed out substantially.…
