Posted on November 29, 2012 by larva225

You Pants Always Get What You Want

Posted on November 24, 2012 by larva225

Some kids love to streak.  From time to time, we’ve had a random episode of nakedness/partial nakedness around here.  One minute your kid is fully dressed, the next he/she’s missing a shirt or pants.  Stella has done this from time … Continue reading →

After a week of obsessing and worrying about it, I finally went in to take the 3 hour glucose tolerance/gestational diabetes test today.  I passed.  In fact, I did so well they turned me loose after 2 hours.  It seems … Continue reading →

We Wish You a Scary Christmas

Posted on November 19, 2012 by larva225

I took a break from obsessing over my gestational diabetes test and we decided, ironically, to bake cookies.  I really want a good set of family tradition as Stella grows up.  I don’t think I ended up with any and … Continue reading →

Posted on November 17, 2012 by larva225
