Before we found out the gender, we had a few names that were strong boy name contenders. Once we found out it was a boy, we chucked the list and let the flood gates of our creativity open wide. It was a lot of fun…at first.
We’d lay in bed, throwing out every random name [...]

Name Dropping
What a Kick
Finally, last night, while I was soaking in the tub Spout (aka Marquis, aka Vercingetorix—more on this later) made his presence known. It wasn’t gas this time–for real! It was full on baby rumble time in my belly.
He kept it up for about 30 minutes. I haven’t felt any more today, but I’m really [...]
Oh Boy!
We are going to have a son. A little boy that calls me mama and him papa and looks to us for love, support and guidance…and maybe a little mischief now and then. Friday, we went for our anatomy scan. All the important parts are there and one extra part that offers proof of his [...]
My Expectations Versus Reality
When someone gets pregnant in a movie we see something like this:
Scene 1: Woman runs in to the room flushed and happy waving her magic EPT wand and everyone rejoices.
Scene 2: Woman pukes a bit, wipes her mouth and then smiles lovingly up at her partner.
Scene 3: We see the woman and man decorating a [...]
Everything Seems So Trivial Now
No, I don’t want to start fresh in 2010. Eh, I’ll pass on the goals setting (and the best applications to track them). Bah, I’m just not interesting in the whole New-Year resolution thing this year. Maybe it’s because I’m pregnant (and pregnant women are smug*) and it just doesn’t seem that important. I’m growing a person! Isn’t that enough?
We’re Having A Baby!
The wait it over! The news is out. We are going to be parents. We couldn’t be more excited. We are due June 15, 2010. We can’t wait to meet our little tiger.
We both want to wish you all happy holidays.

Meme: Watch These Movies
Until I can think of something to write, here is another meme. This one found via that dude in the utilikilt and I believe started over at Kottke. Based on a list 102 movies you should see before you consider yourself movie literate complied by film critic Jim Emerson.
I’ve marked the one’s I’ve seen with [...]
Books by Women Meme
BOLD those you’ve read, ITALICIZE the ones you’ve been meaning to read. Found via Little Book Room. She also marked the ones either she’d not yet heard of or questions thier validity on the list with “???”; I choose not to do that part of the excercise but there are certainly several on here that [...]
