Friday, mid-afternoon we headed out for another day party. Along the way we found a super small kid’s bike on our street and decided that the big fat pregnant girl just had to ride it… I think Bryan’s comment was that the scene was reminiscent of a bear on a bike in the circus. With [...]
Chuck arrived at midnight on Wednesday night. I wasn’t even close to conscious. Thankfully Lindsay had an overnight in Austin and was staying at our house, so she could drive Marc and Bryan to the airport to pick him up – being that she was the only sober/awake one in the house. The giddy-as-little-school-girls were [...]
After working for the morning, talking through two pretty big meetings, including discussions of demographics, psychographics, and a bunch of other branding mumbo jumbo, I walked down to The Mohawk for the Austinist.com day party to meet up with Marc and Bryan where I got to hear 5 bands: Phosphorescent Shout Out Lounds We Barbarians [...]
I had read about Randy Pausch and his last lecture, but, hadn’t heard it. Oprah had him on her show and you can watch the lecture by clicking this link. It is 10 minutes very well spent. Inspiring to me as a human being and as a mother to be. Listening: Sea Wolf
Marc was under the impression that my last post may have been interpreted as hostile. By no means did I mean it that way. While we have been met with some mixed feelings about the kid’s name, we have in no way had it as rough as some of our friends have: At the christening [...]
Why do people ask about the kid’s name? I think most of you only want to know so that you can not-so-subtly judge us – yeah, none of you have that good of a poker face. Now, since Marc and I have not really told anybody the name (yep, we are 99% sure we have [...]
If I were to write a post today about how I’m feeling about pregnancy it may dissuade any women from ever even pondering the idea of motherhood. Mainly my grumpiness involves the fact that we only have 8 weeks to go – and that we have 8 MORE F-ING WEEKS TO GO! The minute I [...]
Our friend Bryan just emailed with a commentary on my belly shots: It has to be shared, because it is funny and totally right on. I studied the expressions on your face as the pictures were taken to try to gain some insight on your thoughts of the process. At 18 weeks and before you [...]
My mom and sister, graciously agreed – after the promise of barbecue – to come to Austin to help us set up the kid’s room. I can not believe how much they did for us. We are extremely grateful for their help and their generous gifts. They painted the kid’s room: And the bathroom: Took [...]
HOLY$#!@. All of a sudden there are LESS THAN 2 months to go. Seeing that “1″ over there in the ETB counter is pretty surreal. We’re getting close… and that is at once exciting, and a little anxiety-inducing, although not really terrifying anymore. Call me naive, ignorant, or in denial… but, I really think we’re [...]
