A futile form of protest
Sigh. Where is that baby? I don’t know quite how to protest the delay, so I’m doing it with frivolity. Starting last Sunday (her due date), I’m running an obstetrics-related series over at the “Wasted-Domain Wishlist”:http://www.octothorp.us/wasted/.

Due date
Today is Baby’s due date, but she seems very content to swim around in her own little private hot tub for a little while longer. Continue reading “Due date”
Baby Catcher, by Peggy Vincent
Jon already wrote a terrific “review”:http://www.jonboyd.org/reviews/000073.php of this book, but I can’t talk about my favorite baby books without mentioning this gem. Continue reading “Baby Catcher, by Peggy Vincent”
