  • Updates on Random

    About God and Parking. When you’re pregnant and upset because your body won’t allow you to do the things you were once able to do, other seemingly ordinary events and situations arise that prove to be the most spectacular events ever. For example, today I found out that because of the Jews and the Christians…

  • Nutrition and Pregnancy

    (The most annoying post ever. It even annoys me.) This month my baby’s brain started developing little nerve cells.

I read up on the whole passport renewal situation prior leaving the house. People with an expired passport can use the…
