Or, if you want to be specific, Texts from Wednesday Night. On Wednesday night, Nate & I headed out to see Dave Matthews Band in concert. This, my friends, was an act of love on my part. I like Dave…I really do. But I don’t love Dave & I’ve put in four out of the [...]

Dear Girl in TJ Maxx, I am not quite sure what happened – I was standing there, minding my own business & perusing the baby blanket aisle for a gift for my buddy, when all of a sudden I hear a *huff* & the screeching tires of a stroller about to pop a wheelie or [...]

So today, I ran into an acquaintance from high school. You can’t really call him a “friend” considering we had no classes together, never sat at the same lunch table, & never snuggled under a blanket at the Varsity football game.

CD 15 and no ovulation in sight. Zero fertile CM, no twinges or cramps, nada. I didn’t ovulate until CD 17 when I got pregnant with Harpie, so I feel ridiculous stressing over CD 15. That’s a cake-walk considering what most go through. But I cannot help my irrational fear of not ovulating — that [...]

Please do not ever tell anyone that miscarried that “if there’s something wrong with the baby, it’s better to miscarry than have a retarded baby.” Seriously. Nate & I shall be handing out the gift of tact for Christmas this year. Many people we know will be getting a throatpunch full of it.

It is amazing the assenine things people say to us after we break the news that Harpie is gone. People simply don’t…think, for lack of a better word. Hence the new blog tag “Stupid People,” which I hope to never have to use again. If they’d just breathe & think of what they want to [...]

#1 Question People Ask Was Harpie planned? #2 Question People Ask Is Nate excited?? ::blank stare:: No, he’s not. We planned this baby, but he’s totally pissed about it. In fact, he had nothing to do with it. I spontaneously conceived this child all by myself. Nate had no part in it & therefore is [...]
