    It’s a boy. I cute little beaner boy. With a profile. And a penis. And he likes to box. I can’t be certain, but I think I see a Tobyjoe nose in this shot: This shot is almost x-rated: To celebrate, I had my eyebrows waxed.

    I have a level two ultrasound scheduled for 1:30 PM today. I do hope everything looks OK. I have one active baby in there, which makes me a little nervous for some reason. I spend a few minutes each day wondering if the baby is wrapping the umbilical around his or her neck. It’s amazing…

    People tell me that breastfeeding is really important. It’s nutritional for the baby. It helps build mommy-baby bonds. Plus, it’s cheaper.

    Last night alone felt like one hundred Christmas Eves. I couldn’t sleep. I probably squeezed in 3 solid hours and two really shaky ones. At 6:30 AM I finally decided to surrender and simply succumb to thought. Even right now I am unable to relax; this might be the last couple of hours I have…

    I’m now 18 weeks into my pregnancy and I haven’t purchased a thing for the baby. We don’t have anything. We don’t have a stroller, a crib, a highchair, or a car seat. I haven’t even scheduled any birthing classes yet. I haven’t made one list. I don’t have one of those crazy giant sleeping…

    I read a Raymond Carver story when I was in college. It’s about a husband and wife who are woken abruptly in the middle of the night to a ringing phone. The distraught female caller has the wrong number. Unable to fall asleep after the call – tucked somewhere between too early and too late…

    Lately Tobyjoe and I have been perusing the real estate market outside of this wonderful city. I’m sure this doesn’t come as much of a surprise to most.
