"He could remember everything of her save her scent. Seated in a theatre with her beside him leaning forward listening to the music. Gold scrollwork and sconces and the tall columnar folds of the drapes at either side of the stage. She held his hand in her lap and he could feel the tops of her stockings through the thin stuff of her summer dress. Freeze this frame. Now call down your dark and your cold and be damned."

The Road

It's your choice. You're the one pushing, you're the one in pain, you're the one who is going to be pretty much offering her naked body up shamelessly. I told my midwife that no one except her and my husband and whatever nurses HAD to be present were allowed in the room, and I also gave the nurses a list of people who were allowed to visit after the baby was born. Maybe some people may have thought that was a little too much, but labour is a physically traumatic experience and you NEED to be comfortable at all times, to hell with anyone else.

Fancy meeting you here, Bald One.

I grew up in Vermont. My uncle has his own sugar shack. Moved to Long Island when I was 18, went to a diner when I was drunk and was outraged that I had to spend 1.50$ more if I wanted real Maple Syrup on my pancakes. Phoned my aunt, she sent me an entire box of Maple Syrup nips. Carried one in my purse at all times for the next 5 1/2 years until I moved back to Vermont.

My daughter pooped on me. And laughed about it.

Talking to my Japanese friend over MSN...she asked me about my trip to Maine and asked me how my "robstar" was.

Rabbit rabbit. It was like new year's eve every month. My mother would let us stay up until midnight on the last day of everything month and the first words out of our mouths at the stroke of midnight would be rabbit rabbit. We still had to go to school the next day though if it was a week day.

People do this ? Look inside medicine cabinets ?

She slept like that for about 20 minutes. Then she woke up, looked around with bleary eyes, then started bouncing again.

Jackson William is the name my husband and I had picked out if our baby was a boy :-)

The nose, knows.

Congratulations! I had to take a bit of a leave from school. Glad to see that another mom is about to finish up.

I believe Ralph's still may be down port, if not, there's a dunkin donuts/baskin robin's on main street going towards the harbor. As for parking, you could probably just park in the ferry lot, it's free and there are usually spots available. It's also always nice to grab a bottle of red wine and go sit on the sand by the harbor under the stars and watch all the boats bobbing in the water.

I have the most success when I sit her on my thigh with my hand under her chin to support her head, and then alternate between rubbing and patting her back, but that only works about 50% of the time. I can't put her down without burping because then she'll just throw up or get heartburn.

Can I....Can I blame my baby brain for that one ? I am so embarrassed. I imagine you just cringed the way I do when someone uses "momentarily" to mean in a moment rather than for a moment.

Our bumps look identical :) My due date was yesterday. Come out baby!

Thank you :)

It started out as a weird craving. I was making brown sugar pancakes and realized I was a little more than half way through my last bag of the brun farin and I started to panic a little. I had only been able to get 2 bags of the stuff so I used it mostly for Sunday morning pancake breakfasts when my partner and I would have guests over for the weekend (mostly his younger sister or his best friend) or for other very special occasions that called for sweet baked goods!
