Chasing Waterfalls

Time to update your bookmarks! The new home for my blog is over here

For the past couple of weeks, I have developed a rather annoying and painful side-effect of pregnancy: ye olde pinched sciatic nerve. Well, I assume it’s the sciatic, but it could be some other nerve. I’ll be sitting for awhile, say at work, and then when I stand up and start walking to [...]

I think I’ve mentioned that, since I hit 28 weeks, I’ve started to feel paranoid about going into premature labour. This paranoia was not, of course, helped by my fall on the ice which led to me having contractions every 2-3 minutes for a couple of hours. Nor, come to think of it, [...]

This past weekend was much better than the one before, namely because it did not involve me landing on my ass followed by a 7-hour stint at the IWK! On Sunday, I had my baby shower, and Neal had his “diaper party”. I had never heard of a diaper party until a couple of years [...]

While traveling into work this morning, the morning crew on The Bounce were asking for your best day of 2010. Although 2010 has been a busy year, it only took me a second to know what my best day was. It was at the end of June when I woke up a little [...]
