So yes, I had my first (and hopefully last) root canal. When I was 10 weeks pregnant I went for a dental check up and the dentist I was seeing at the time made a comment about one of the fillings he had done for me 2 years ago. He couldn’t take any X-rays of » Read More

For two days I have been trying to get Evelyn to eat solid food. I tried giving her mashed tofu with a spoon and she screamed each time. Once I did get something into her mouth she wouldn’t swallow it, just collected it in her mouth. I think I might have made a bit of » Read More

Yes, I am still here. Still waiting. This past Tuesday was D-day and so far I have had quite a few Braxton-Hicks contractions but nothing else. These past few days have felt like they have lasted forever! Kicky has dropped, finally, although it’s hard to tell from looking since she liked to be quite low » Read More

Testing out the car seat… We got an email from our friend Wentworth (who we know through Lisa, who has since fled to the warmer climes of Vancouver) that there was a public lecture by none other than Dr. Marvin Minksky Thursday.

We spent the day in today, mostly hanging out (”slobbing around” in Red Dwarf language) and it was a very nice change. We made a big breakfast with bacon, hash browns and french toast and then read for a bit. I am reading a collection of select 20th centufy novels, plays and short stories. I » Read More
