LiveMom.com the Austin mom-community blog that we designed and produced a few months ago is up and growing in readership. Catherine, the founder published a pre-baby prediction interview with me last week and after the kid comes we’ll do a post-baby report – to see how naive and embarrassing all my answers were! Listening: Crystal [...]
We were awake at 6:30 AM this Sunday. An insane lightning/hail storm threatened to destroy our house and did just that to our plants – they all have holes and tears and the deck is pock-marked. There was a three foot river of water, ice, leaves and branches running down our street – I was [...]
My Friday started out with mild cramps, contractions, nausea, back ache and an eerie calmness… We had a doctors appointment, so, I took it easy for the morning and then headed to see a doctor who is not ours – she was out for the day. This doc was hilarious – uncomfortably so… I was [...]
Oh my, it is good to know and especially be related to creative people who make things for you! Kylie is visiting for a couple of days and brought with her the cutest teddy monster stuffed animal ever – that she and my mom MADE, by hand, by themselves, without a pattern. Kylie based the [...]

Over a month ago we had dinner with some new, super-foodie-friends met by Marc at the Whole Hog class and at the time they mentioned their famous crawfish boil and that this year it was at the end of April and we had to be there. This invitation was extended over an evening of really [...]
The belly photo is updated. Not a big change… in fact, as of Friday, I lost a pound. I never thought loosing weight would be a concern… but, it is. I’ve also found myself pointing out other pregnant women and asking Marc: “Am I as big as her?”. This is a tough situation for a [...]
Me: “Can I wear one of your T-shirts to bed?” “A really soft one.” Marc: “Yeah – that’s a good one. Oh wait, I have two of those a large & extra large. Yep – that’s the one — the XL.” It is sad day indeed when you can no longer fit into LARGE menswear. [...]
We walked downtown last night (4 miles total – congratulations joints – you are still holding up even with the 30 pound mass that has accumulated around our middle) to see Smart People – we are determined to see all decent movies that come to the Alamo Ritz or South Lamar before the little monster [...]
