(The birth story series starts here.) You remember meconium? That black, sticky tar that would.not.come.off? That’s how these emotions feel in my heart. I’m actually apprehensive to write this. I can’t figure out how to do it. I want to get it out, I’d like to be thorough, I’d like to not have you eyeroll and leave halfway through. I can’t figure out how is best. So I’m just going..

Here’s yer sign pt 2
Here for the Memarie Lane scavenger hunt? In the comments put your guess of boy or girl, then head on over to see Mary Alice 🙂 Entry Number One This is from when I was pregnant: When we went for our sonogram they asked a load of questions as well – including if we were there as a result of an accident. I started laughing, the desk person (who was.. Read More
Birth Story Chapter Four – Why I’m a brain and not a jock.
(The birth story series starts here.) Dudes, I’m not athletic. I don’t understand how my body is supposed to work when it comes to physical activity. I cover most of my illustrious sports history here. I was in college in a PE class for Elementary Ed majors before it clicked with me that to throw a ball, I needed to think about the process while I was doing it, just.. Read More
Birth Story Chapter Three – Birth of our Godson
(The birth story series starts here.) Ten years ago today our godson was born. C. had gotten up the morning of the 9th, rushed to work (no breakfast), rushed to her OB appointment (no lunch) and got sent over to the (teaching) hospital for induction. How many bad things do you count in that paragraph? She was induced sometime that afternoon. We arrived shortly after 5am the next morning, just.. Read More
Blog Housekeeping
Guh, I’m going to have to beg for your patience. Please. I’ve been “under the weather” today. I had to call Scout home from work because I couldn’t peel myself off the bathroom tiles (So!Cool!So!Comforting!). I’d closed all the doors to the upstairs rooms and closed the baby gate at the top of the stairs. I put Alex in the hallway and he spent 40 minutes playing with a cat.. Read More
Birth Story Chapter Two – Family Tradition
(The birth story series starts here.) My mom had the largest influence on my perception of childbirth. She’d had endometriosis and told about laying in bed and focusing on the second hand sweeping around the face of the clock in the hot midwest summer, trying to focus on anything but the pain, filling super duper diaper sized Kotex by the hour as her body recovered. She knew cramps. That being.. Read More
“People Who Like Me”
So, there’s a new category over in the sidebar (which is hard to read with the pink, I know) – It’s technically a blogroll, but I don’t want anyone to ever feel left out – it’s the same problem I have with tags and awards and why I never got asked to Prom – So it’s called People Who Like Me – If I’m on your blogroll, you are on..

Birth Story Chapter One – The Fertility Joke
My cycle has been completely crazy since I got my first period. Never have I had a regular cycle. In high school, I spent nine months without a period, and then spent agonizing days in the hot midwest summer, curled in bed waiting to die. Just like mom, so many years before. I went on the pill before my sophomore year of college to regulate my cycles. I had it.. Read More

Looking to next week
So. It was a banner week here at Camp Sleep is for Loozah’s, record traffic from beginning to end. Largely, I’m sure in part with Mofo Delurk Day which got me out of my Turkey Lurky ways of not commenting b/c there were either too many comments already or I just didn’t think I had anything interesting to add to the conversation – and I actually stopped by and said..
