So I made a list of all the names we like for boys and girls and put them into every first and middle name combination possible (my husband needs things spelled out simply and exactly) and we went over it. Now all of a sudden, he doesn't like Lucy Mabel

I spent some time with my cousin's 6 week old daughter yesterday. It was during that time that I realized I'm really looking forward to having a little baby again. The long sleep stretches, the being able to put it down without tears or tantrums, the

Third. Not first, passed second - the third freaking trimester. With my second kid! Lord, what have I gotten myself into?

I feel like I know too many people going through infertility. Jackie here on the Nest, I know we're not IRL friends but definitely internet pals. Then my very good friend Dawn, who is married to my husband's cousin, has to do IVF because of male infertility

...here is one I took of Boston on Wednesday when I picked him up from daycare. Man his smile is becoming so "big boy" and hilarious with all those teeth. Also, Boston has an appointment on Wednesday to check his ears (again) and if he's over 20 lbs we're

So there isn't much light so the camera phone pic makes my hair look a little darker than it is, and it's not super curly since I slept on it wet last night, but here's my new hair color not salon-slick-straight. My sister hates it, I saw her on Wednesday

I had my second gestational diabetes one hour test yesterday and I called for the results today - I was shocked when the nurse said my blood sugar levels are still normal! I passed the test at 19 weeks but I figured I would because it was still early.

I knew when the movie came out that I had no intention of watching it. Why watch a movie that is guaranteed to make me cry? I knew the ending, I figured why waste my time. Then it came time to pack for Chicago and I wanted to bring my iPod with at least

When you use a public restroom and of the course the toilet paper is super thin, how bad does it suck when the toilet paper rips mid-wipe and you end up accidentally wiping partially with your hand. Yuck. Please, share what you think sucks about being

Some people are born to be parents. Some women crave having babies and loving them and nurturing them and teaching them. Chris and I are so not those people. We learn every day. We struggle every day. We continuously think about our old lives and how

Not only do we need to start watching our language and grammar skills (I do not want a cussing 2 year old or one that says "It don't matter" or uses other poor English) but now I realize we have to actually watch all of our actions. Boston was in his

Sorry, not in this post - but I posted them to my www.edmoexperiment.blogspot.com site - check out my new hair (I'm sure it won't look that good when I wash it and wear it curly) and the newest belly pics.

Sometimes I do feel like I have too children - one is just a lot older. So we're headed to Chicago tomorrow morning, coming back on Sunday. It'll be about a 6 hour drive with stops. I'd love to keep the stops to a minimum (because I have no idea how Boston

I know murders happen all the time. I just feel particularly sad about this one. She had so much potential (not that it's okay to murder someone who might not be a super smart grad student at Yale that could have cured cancer one day - but you know what

I'm so over the whole wear sunscreen, no wait sunscreen causes cancer, don't leave the house without sunscreen, just don't go in the sun at all, etc etc etc. I'm a little concerned about skin cancer. I am Hungarian and have always been very dark-skinned

Chris and I loved Ophelia - it was so Shakespearean and unique. But it's off the list now! I told my male friend the name option and he started laughing. I said, "What?" And he said... "Oh, I feel-a ya! Oh, I feel-a ya" while pretend-gropping a set of

Here's my story, give me your advice if you've got some. With Boston I had gestational diabetes and my doctor would induce me a week before my due date no matter what. Ended up my amniotic fluid level dropped dangerously low at 37 weeks and I was induced

There is a bird who laid two eggs in a nest going up the back stairs into my building. The eggs just finally hatched and she's keeping them warm and fed, but she's not the smartest cookie. Here's why - anytime someone comes up those steps, the mama flies

The worst thing about not finding out the sex is having to go in to delivery with multiple names. We want options this time, whereas last time we knew first and middle name going in and nothing was changing it. Problem is, this time we have to go in with

I want these boots from Delia's. They are $69.50. I don't need them, that's for sure. Before yesterday, I was definitely getting them. Then I got an $80 ticket and I had to sacrifice buying something to make me not so angry about throwing $80 away, so

Imagine me flailing my arms and stomping my feet too. I just got a freaking ticket. Driving on base at work! Going 36 I guess in a 25 (although I drive that way every day and never ever see a sign for 25 mph limit, I think because it's a downward hill

I went to Target and looked for a super cute winter sleeper to bring the new baby home from the hospital, in case it's a girl. I found nothing. I've never ever ever looked at little girls clothes and not wanted about 5 different things. Shoot, I already

Is there anything better than a pair of shoes that actually fit for only $6. I love when my boss is out of the office because I can make quick visits to Target on my lunch break and not get in trouble. Shoot, for $6 I'd even buy shoes that didn't fit!

I'm gonna blame this on pregnancy, even though I'd totally do this any other time too. I already ate lunch. Well, my first lunch anyway. I feel bad because the guys in the building heard the microwave running and thought for a second it's lunch time.

...and I do feel guilty about it. I don't like my son right now. This is the first time I've actually tried to avoid being around him. It's awful! I know he's feeling miserable over his ear infection and I know he's learning all these new things about

Okay, more serious debating...relating to two very current news stories. 1. That Jaycee Dugard woman kidnapped 18 years ago. The wife seems to be brainwashed and beaten down in life and people feel like she shouldn't be held as responsible. What do you

I just ran into some lady at work that I don't really know. I think it's obvious I'm pregnant but there are still some rumors going around that I've just put on a lot of weight, so you never know. Here's a conversation I just had with that woman which

I love debates. We all seem like well-informed people who do our research and weigh the odds. I enjoy conversations that discuss highly-emotional and sensitive subjects with people like that because I know opinions can be shared without anger, prejudice,

Since Boston caught his super awesome little double ear infection about one month ago - and it hasn't completely gone away yet - we've dealt with fevers, rashes, burning tooshie, snot drainage and eye goopies, not to mention a horribly miserable child

I've been trying (I use trying losely) to organize our home better, to get rid of useless items, and clean up the piles. It's hard with a one year old but thankfully he adores being in the basement (the appeal of being somewhere in the house he isn't
