    Today is my birthday and the biggest pair of pants I own no longer fit. Today is my birthday and it’s so cold out, my snot froze to my upper lip and I didn’t even feel it it was that cold. Today is my birthday and I tried to go to the gym. I walked…

    Melissa, over at Suburban Bliss, appeared on The Today Show recently to discuss a growing trend among some mothers called “Cocktail Playdates”. Here’s the skinny: the kid gets his or her juice box, the mother a glass of chardonnay. (MmmmmmMmmmmm, wine.) I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I see mothers and their children (or babies toddlers)…

    I found out I was pregnant on November 21st, 2006. It is my first pregnancy. And I am a worrywart. I worry about everything. If there isn’t something to worry about, I’ll create something. The day I found out I was pregnant I started reading stuff online. Of course, my worrying eyes wandered toward the…

    My evenings have been really bad lately. I don’t get morning sickness at all. I get evening sickness. And I’m feeling overweight and frumpy. So today I got Kellianne (perhaps the best artist/hairstylist there is) to give me a new haircut. Somehow, this woman always manages find my natural curls. I simply have to figure…

    Thank you, everyone, for your congratulatory emails and comments – both here and on Flickr. They mean a lot to us. It’s been a long three months. There were times I wanted to just scream, “I’M PREGNANT! That’s why I’m being such a bitch! That’s why I can’t stop spitting!” But I held back. I’m…

    The phrase, “The rabbit died,” came to be a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test in the early twentieth century. It was discovered that if the urine of a pregnant woman was injected into a rabbit, there would be corpora hemorrhagica in its ovaries. Because the ovaries could not be inspected without dissecting the rabbit,…

    Yesterday was a long day. Tobyjoe and I had a few appointments together in the city. We were out from 9 AM until after 5, running around in the rain. But I’ll report more on that later. What I really want to write about right now, however, is our new Heavenly bed (Oops!) our new…

    My lovely husband and his hard-working coworkers have been busting their asses for months now to complete this project. The ad aired tonight during the premier of American Idol. It’s for MMs and it’s really quite fun. Go check it out. It’s up at Planet MM. Make yourself into an MM and when you’re done…

    Y’all know how much I love Wal-Mart. And so when someone by the name of “Filthy Wal-Mart” added me as a contact earlier this morning on Flickr, I checked them out. I have to say this photo set is a little more than shocking. I’m not a fan, true, but I had no idea some…
