    First of all, I want to apologize for my post from yesterday. I was worked up about Emory’s appointment and wrote it flippantly as we were walking out the door. I wasn’t feeling very well at the time. The appointment went alright. The doctor weighed and measured him first. He weighs a cool 12 pounds…

  • Two Months Old

    Emory turned 9 weeks old today (or two months old on Monday). He has his two month doctor’s visit today as well. He’s scheduled to have (at least) two vaccinations. But I think we’re going to spread them out. That said, he’ll probably only receive the Pneumococcal today. I think I need to spend a…

    We just got back from Pennsylvania and I have a lot of cleaning to do partly because of Murray and his two friends. He’s exhausted. They apparently threw a party while we were away.

  • The Hobo Nest

    About a week ago I noticed what appeared to be a perfect nest in the empty lot behind our house. The only difference between this nest and a bird’s nest was its size. It’s bigger than an aboveground pool. It was constructed by a human being. Of course I found the nest really amusing. I…

    Emory is happiest whenever he’s being held. So I hold him a lot, which usually leaves me with only one free arm. I’ve spent a lot of time discovering things to do with one arm. There aren’t many. Reading a book isn’t easy to do with a newborn. (At least for me.) Cleaning is impossible.…

    We took Emory to the farmer’s market at McCarren Park earlier today. We had a good time. I was a little neurotic about the cool air, the sun, and whether or not the stroller along the bumpy, city terrain was jiggling his head too much. And then I worried about the dirt and the trash…

  • The Vaccination Situation.

    Edited to add: I wrote this back in 2007. I have since come a long way regarding vaccinations. Therefore, I feel it’s my duty to link to this update. I am now militantly pro-vaccine. I find Jenny McCarthy to be dangerous and awful for what she has done. I went on to have three children,…

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma and Mohs

    The call came in. The spot I wrote about last week is indeed cancerous. This is what I know. I know that basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. I know that 97% of the time it’s totally treatable. I know that it has a tendency to spread, which means I…

    Some folks have asked me how the cats (specifically, Murray) have dealt with our new addition. In typical feline fashion, they’ve all dealt with Emory in very different ways. Let me explain. Pookum is very aware of Emory. She looks at him as if she’s trying to figure him out. She rarely goes near him…
