Dear Carmen
Today is your birthday! You’ve turned two years old. I would love for you to know what you were doing now, so I’ll make a short list for you. By the time you were two, you could… -Pick out the yummy parts of a pomegranate -Count to ten -Speak about as much Cantonese as I could -Name these colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white, brown, black, gray -Sing...

Been two years......
I’m reliving two years ago, when I was in labor with Carmen. (At about this time, I was settling into the hospital after a horrible ride in the ambulance.) This play by play of each hour is especially weird with a new baby rolling around in my uterus. It’s hard to believe she’ll be a two year old tomorrow. And harder to believe that this time next year, we’ll have two of...

You know you used to be an addict when.....
Hahaha… I just got a call from a concerned employee of Rio Grande. He said that they noticed it had been a while since I ordered anything from them and they wanted to make sure that everything was ok. I guess they missed my weekly orders from when I was still in school!
Help me find names?

I’m also considering names that are three syllables, with the accent on the first syllable (like Lorelei or Jennifer), which would make for a great name of triplets. That’s hard to hunt for in baby books and sites, so if you can think...

This chart doesn’t totally make sense to me, but it looks like it knows what...

It's a......
Another girl!! I’m excited about this for many reasons. I would have been really happy with a boy, too, but now I’m overjoyed. She looks good; she’s about 12 ounces now and is on par for her gestational stage. All fingers and toes are there, and she’s a wiggle worm with a good heartbeat. I may upload her “pictures” later. Her name will likely be Carolyn,...
