My fave current reading


My sister-in-law just introduced me to Crabmommy--the mom blog that is hilarious.  We all need to laugh a little in preparation for parenthood and this blog helps.

My current favorite blog is Girls Gone Child--Rebecca Woolf is amazing.  I'm also reading her book Rockabye and really enjoying it. . . she is young, she is funky, and she is determined to be herself, and is in total love with her family.  I highly recommend her writing for comic relief and for realizing you aren't crazy.

Finally, I have been scoping out Babble.com--I can't decide if I find it useful or not. . . I like the idea of an online community of young families. . . sort of.  But it might be a bit much. . . I'll let you know what I think again in a couple of weeks.

Still waiting on baby boy Magill--could be anytime I suppose.  I'm 38 weeks now and we are as ready as we'll ever be. . . whatever that means!

Jerry and me


So we went to the doctor today to check in on Jerry (Jerry is not really his name, but we like to call him that. . . atleast for the next 4 weeks).  Jerry is due December 13th, and our time being literally inseparable is coming to a close.  How strange will that be!?!  

Jerry is breech, and I've been playing the Jayhawks for him this evening to try to stimulate a super flip.  We shall see.  I hope it is just because he is stubborn like me, that he is not getting into prime positions. ..either way--Jerry will be here soon, and we will have to choose a real name to reflect who he is and what he means to us. . . no pressure!
