msnbc.com: Top msnbc.com headlines NYT Recipes for HealthWarning: Random and Very Boring Post Ahead I have many fears in life, one of which is caves. I really never have any desire to go exploring in a cave and stumble across the mutant humans who inevitably live at earth’s innermost core, all blind with rubbery skin and 12-inch incisors. If you’ve ever seen [...]

Today I achieved a milestone in my temporary stay-at-home-motherhood. (If you read my previous post, you’ll notice that I’m fixated on milestones.) Despite a disappointing 4.5 hours of grossly interrupted sleep, I pried my eyeballs open after Owen’s 6 a.m. feeding, showered and went grocery shopping. Point of the story: I went grocery shopping at [...]

Since E.P.T. abruptly signaled a near end to the us-centered lives of Kyle and me, we decided that it would be wise, responsible and prudent to take a week off from work to spend money we don’t have on a little getaway. So that’s what we did. We took a cruise from L.A. and visited San [...]

Someone asked Kyle and me the other day, “What has surprised you most about marriage so far?” With not yet 1.5 years of marriage under our belts, we agreed that the most surprising thing has been how much more we’ve enjoyed the dawn of Year 2. During our engagement, well-intentioned folks would say things like, [...]

After a long day of work you stumble into the house headed directly for bed at 9:30 p.m., and your husband says: “Well, I guess I’m just going to eat a bowl of applesauce for dinner.” You ignore half-hear him; you think he’s joking, because who really eats only a bowl of applesauce for dinner?; [...]

Wednesday marked the beginning of Week 12. This means only about five more days left of the first trimester, The Trimester of Doom. It also means that now my stomach is hanging over my pants. And so it begins. I keep jabbing at my stomach: “See, Kyle, don’t you see IT? The Big Belly!!” [...]

The day we confirmed the pregnancy via doctor (Kyle wouldn’t believe it till then), we went to Chick-fil-A. (This is when I could eat anything. Oh the naivete of a 4-week-pregnancy!) Kyle ordered himself a “celebratory ice-cream cone.” I questioned, “Celebratory?” “Sure. Might as well be.” And this is one reason I love my husband. [...]

Why haven’t I posted in so long? Because recently my mind has been in a fog, I turn in at 9 p.m., and my meals are peanut-butter sandwiches. And now? I’m sucking on a “Preggie Pop.” A Sour Raspberry Preggie Pop. Firstly, I’m really curious as to when terms like “preggo” and “preggie” entered our [...]

Anyone who knows Kyle and me – either individually or as a couple – also knows that we’re competitive. Now we have this record to break. It means that I’m going to have to live till I’m at least 108, and Kyle will have to hang in there till he’s at least 107. Can we [...]
