Zippy lives up to the name

By kate on August 31st, 2005

Today was an exciting day. We went to yet another appointment with yet another midwife, because even though we liked everyone we’ve seen, we didn’t feel any of them were just right. This time, though, both Steve and I felt that we liked the midwife enough to choose her (and her partner in […]

Dragging a bit

By kate on August 30th, 2005

I’m back from my trip, and my cold is mostly gone. I’m still dragging, though. I have this headache that comes back on most days.

It’s a girl!

By kate on August 17th, 2005

(wait, wait… read the rest…) My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me, her (prescription) pre-natal vitamins were pink. When she was pregnant with both my brothers, they were blue each time. Today, I got my pre-natal vitamins and… they’re pink! Of course, we won’t find out the baby’s actual gender for […]
