Definitely better than reality TV
The New York Times tackles “mommy blogs” today in an article called “Mommy (and Me)”.
The world’s most thankless occupation, parenthood, has never inspired so much copy. For the generation that begat reality television it seems that there is not a tale from the crib (no matter how mundane or scatological) that is unworthy of narration. […]
Happy Suburban Life
So Carole and Tom and baby Cassie came over for dinner last night, and it was truly bizarre. These are the people we used to go out and get plastered with, drinking Yuengling and shooting pool, and here we all were, drinking Warsteiner and discussing baby farts.
Maybe it wasn’t quite so weird. But still. […]
Slowly normalizing
So I’ve lost more than 25 pounds in the last three weeks. Technically, I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight — well, one of my pre-pregnancy weights, the one where I was unemployed and wearing fat pants. And technically I can button a couple pairs of pre-pregnancy jeans, but I can’t wear them — on top […]
Quiet again
Mandy went home this morning. I hate goodbyes; we have to go so long between visits that it’s always extra depressing. But I should count myself lucky that I got her for a whole week, and that we can still spend hours at a time talking about everything and nothing. Iain invited her to move […]
Sighs of relief
He pooped! Just thought you’d like to know.
In other news, there’s a Crablogs meetup tonight at 6:30 pm at the Thirsty Dog Pub, 20 E Cross St.
NOTE: This actually happened Tuesday. I am way too out of it to be advertising meetups, I think.
One of these days I’ll have to start going to […]
My Constipated Baby
Great title for a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, huh?
So apparently the formula I put Owen on has caused his insides to jam up harder than 95 at rush hour. He grunts and groans and cries and turns red, but nothing will bring on the poop. This is a very sad thing.
So I called the doc […]
Succor
Whew. Mandy, the old college roommate/BFF, arrived safely from Ohio last night, despite the quarter-inch of snow and resulting logjam on the Beltway. She’s been an absolute doll, helping me clean the house and feed the baby and generally stay not-crazy. Even better is when Owen is sleeping, and we’re sitting around in our PJ’s, […]
I’m a slave 4 U
Jesus Christ, I’m tired.
Though Owen was sleeping for 4 hours at a time at night during Week One and part of Week Two, he’s now waking up hungry every two or three hours, which means I get one or two hours of sleep at a time.
Here’s 24 hours in the life of Owen James, aged […]
They spinnin’! They spinnin’!
Dang. It’s still snowing. Looks to be about four inches so far, several more expected.
About two hours ago I drove to the ever-popular CVS to buy formula and snacks, and the going was treacherous. There were two inches on the ground, and my little car couldn’t get any traction. The county does not appear […]
Comments are fixed!
If you’ve tried to comment on this site any time in the last couple of weeks you were disappointed, because comments were broken. And the birth of my baby is like the last time I wanted the comments feature to be busted!
Well, turns out I had made a mistake in installing MT Blacklist [the thing […]
who’s there?
Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there.
Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.recent flickr
