And so it begins. Over the weekend we FINALLY got into the storage room downstairs and were able to commence operation “prepare nursery for baby.” It’s scary shit. The photos above depict both the newly filled storage room, a.k.a. where excess mid-century furniture goes to die (does it make you cringe to consider that all of that crap was somehow… Read more →

Sweet Dreams.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder who they’re marketing towards with modern baby furniture. Like the Ooba Nest Bassinet, for example. Okay Ooba, you got me. I want your bassinet. It’s beautiful, elegant, matches my existing decor, and turns into a toybox/play table when baby is done with it. But you’ve priced it at $800. I feel compelled to ask: … Read more →
I’m addicted to deal sites. It’s pretty bad.
Luckily, I am too much of a lazy a-hole to actually get out of bed and in front of my computer in time to score the deals (specifically from babysteals.com,) so really, I’m more addicted to LOOKING AT and SIGNING UP for deal sites. I guess it’s not that bad. Today? The Hooter Hider, in a print I actually think… Read more →
Doctor’s Orders.
So, when my OB says “low sodium diet” she’s not talking about the weekends, right? It’s Emma’s birthday, so how could I pass up a delicious meal at Benihana? Cheeseball that I am, naturally, I love Benihana – both for it’s delicious Imperial Dinner (Lobster and Steak – yum) and for it’s kitschy entertainment value. And yesterday (in between painful… Read more →
The Truth about Pregnancy.
Depending on the source you consult – a week from today, I will be 26 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and therefore entering my 3rd Trimester. (Pregnancy sources are all over the place in terms of dating and tracking your pregnancy.) My Mother-In-Law pointed out to me this week, that after reading through a bunch of my blog posts in… Read more →
The Ultimate Accessory
First of all, how gorgeous is Emma? I know, right? A couple of weeks ago, Scott and I got our asses out of bed, and trudged over to the Marmalade Cafe, to meet Emma and Mike for brunch. (This was back when I was still allowed to eat those delicious potatoes they serve.) I arrived looking haggard and… Read more →
Some seriously freaky shit.
Sometimes (like yesterday, when I finish a very long blog post) I think to myself: “I have way too much free time.” But then I see things like this, and I’m certain that there are people in this world who have more free time (and longer attention spans, and less body dysmorphia) than I do. Sure, some of these are… Read more →
2nd Trimester Basic Maternity Must-Haves
In the first trimester, my only must-have was a barf bag and some zofran, but now that my 2nd trimester is coming to a close, there are a few items, clothing and otherwise that I simply could not do without. Here they are in no particular order… The Snoogle The single most valuable item I have purchased during the course… Read more →
Apparently, I used to be cool, too.
So, a comment from my friend Eric yesterday (he was dissapointed that I had blogged about J&K+8…but c’mon – Jon IS a total douchnozzle) got me thinking. Has pregnancy made me soft? Has my sense of humor gone the way of my ass and turned to complete mush? I did used to post about absurd news stories and flying… Read more →
Jon, you used to be cool.
When the Gosselins first became tabloid fodder, I really felt for them (and blamed Octomom.) I’d watched their show casually for a couple of years, and I felt like this was just a sweet little family in an unexpected situation making the best of it. I live in the world, so it’s been hard NOT to be somewhat aware… Read more →
