This is a post about boobs. And not about sexy boobs. This is a post about milky, leaky boobs. If you’re not into that sort of thing, feel free to back away slowly and pretend you didn’t mean to come in here. Me and all the other leaky boob people will pretend we didn’t see [...]
“It Gets Easier.”
October 22, 2012 By 12 Comments
I hear this often. When I tell someone I have twin newborns, I get sympathetic, earnest looks and encouragement: ”It gets easier.” I believe this must be true, that it will get easier, at some time, some point in the future. Wait, no I don’t. I was told it gets easier when the babies get [...]
It’s My Birthday And I Have Goddamned Cankles
July 6, 2012 By 10 Comments
It’s kinda bullshit. 34 weeks. I really, really, really, don’t have much to complain about, in the grand scheme of things. I am not in any outright pain, and I’m not enduring any sort of unbearable suffering. But complain, I shall. Because really, in the grand scheme of things, I can’t think of a better [...]
Belly At 26 Weeks And Stuff
May 17, 2012 By 13 Comments
Are you ready for this belly? I’ve had a few people who haven’t seen me in a while and they are surprised I’m not showing more. Like, “You’re not massive! I thought you’d be grotesquely huge by now!” I feel pretty okay about that. I’m sort of tall, at 5’8,” and we know one of the [...]
It’s The Flu

It melted my brain. I’m feeling much better though. But seriously, it melted my brain.
I Feel Great! Wait, No. I Feel Like Dog Poo!

I’ve been trucking along on this whole pregnancy thing. I’m around 24 weeks and I’ve been feeling pretty good. More than pretty good. My energy has been great, my mood is good, I’ve been sleeping well, I’ve been chewing through projects and feeling productive and goddamned virtuous. So we moved, and the very week we [...]
Okay, So, I Hate Shopping
April 24, 2012 By 7 Comments
We’re back in Portland. We have a new apartment. And every time we move, I have the urge to nest a bit. With twins on the way, my urge to nest is perhaps a bit stronger than usual. We actually haven’t thought too much about baby stuff yet. I’ve been blocking it out, actually. Since [...]
Clumsy and Dumb. No Really, I Am.
February 16, 2012 By 9 Comments
I’m pretty good at embarrassing myself. I don’t mind being goofy, or I don’t mind being self deprecating. Because I certainly want to be the first person to make fun of me. I like to think that I hone conspicuous personal embarrassment as a fine artisan would whittle a duck from a bar of soap. [...]
Fun With Self Employed Health Insurance
October 18, 2011 By 5 Comments
I’m good at worrying. Did you know this about me? I don’t feel like a complete person unless I’m worried about something. If they had an Olympics for worriers, I could melt down all the gold medals I’d win and make myself a gilded helmet to protect my crazy, anxious brain. When we quit our jobs and terminated [...]
Travel Tuesday: Saddle Mountain
September 21, 2011 By 12 Comments
I’m going to do what I can to not swear during this post. My usual, natural inclination is to swear. I prefer to think of swearing as colorful intensifiers, not bleating inarticulateness. More often than not, I withhold curse words because they make me feel less dainty. Right. So, Saddle Mountain. It was on our list [...]
