you’ll either know what i’m talking about or you won’t and i’ve got too much other stuff going on to track down the related links.
you know what? being a parent sometimes sucks. sometimes it has ridiculous consequences like ruined clothes and broken backs and any number of less than awe-inspiring moments. it’s okay to [...]

so, how’d i do?
drink less soda (maybe 1 a day?)
well, i’m not sure what “less” was before i got pregnant, but due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, i’ve cut back to 1-2 “doses” of caffeine a day. that’s certainly less than the “triple venti” mornings i used to have. i’d call this one accomplished
drink way [...]

wherein kelly throws herself a whiny pity party and decides upon review that she really doesn’t care about the tense shifting and inconsistent capitalization enough to do anything about it.

it (will be) a girl!
at today’s doctor’s visit we asked very nicely if we might take another look at the baby to see if we could determine the gender since the kid was so … uncooperative last month and she let us.

Today I turned 30 years old.
It was both more and less traumatic than I had anticipated. I was worried earlier in the year/last year that if I wasn’t pregnant, it was going to be an ugly day. There’s this sort of unspoken “line” at 30 that makes pregnancy harder, etc, and [...]
