Well, we haven’t given an update on how Maggie is developing. There are actually several things worth mentioning:

Her poop has begun to stink, not necessarily every time but enough that we are receiving our initiation into one of the truest markers of what it means to be a parent.
She has begun ‘tracking’ movement, whether it […]

Be prepared

I heard on NPR this morning that the state of Florida is launching a new website to assist people in preparing for a hurricane or some other diaster. From what I understand, you type in some information about you (what county you live in, whether you have pets, etc.) and it returns a personalized plan […]

The long road home

To our faithful readers, we extend our most sincere apologies for the lack of posts the last few days. We were traveling for the holiday weekend and had no internet access. We have not yet completely stretched ourselves into the digital age by acquiring a laptop with wi-fi access capabilities. I will need one when […]

Much better

The last couple days Maggie has been cranky & wanting to be held all the time. But today, it’s all smiles!
I enjoyed a nice lunch yesterday with some old work friends. One is running her first 1/2 marathon which reminded me that I should probably start using my legs for something other than walking. I […]

My little cry baby

Magpie is still cranky from the shots & is running a low-grade fever. I called the Dr.’s office and was told it is normal for babies to have a fever, sometimes for days after shots. Thanks Jill, tylenol has been awesome. I feel so bad for the little girl. By the way, Maggie’s height is […]

Maggie had her two month (she’s actually two months and one week) checkup yesterday. She weighed in at 11 pounds and measured 23.5 inches. It certainly seems she is growing like the proverbial weed. In terms of overall health, everything checks out. She was also given five immunizations. The poor little thing developed a temperature […]

Ah stress, my forever friend

Posted on May 21, 2006 - Filed Under Adult swim | 1 Comment

This move is presenting a very significant challenge in the form of us selling our house, or more correctly for now, the runup to it in terms of repairs, etc. I think that the first time you do something, it is bound to feel overwhelming, scary, and, if not that, then at least a little […]

The world in motion

Maggie has been so unhappy sitting still the past 3 days. Unless we are moving, she is starts to whine. She has been giving me this pitiful pouty-face looks and then shovels her fist in her mouth. She’s not hungry, I think she is just in need of some self-soothing.
She gets her first shots on […]
