We decided to go ahead and buy a half-share in a local organic farm for the season. MFH can explain the whole community-supported agriculture thing better than I can; basically we get a box of vegetables from the farm every week, with the contents varying depending on what’s ready for harvest, and the farmer […]
…..have I mentioned lately how caring, loving, funny, foofy, and cute my husband is? More than worth the long wait for him.
Choosing Home is interviewing (here and here) the author of a book about first-generation Christians becoming parents: Building the Christian Family You Never Had. I think I’m going to have to get the book; MFH and I both come from non-Christian families, although I at least had a Christian grandma next door. […]

We were out and about a bit after dropping my car off at the mechanic (oil leak), and took a look around Babies R Us (or however they write it). I felt uncomfortable right away–cutesy pastel colors everywhere, hardly any plaid. Also, the ratio of salespeople to customers was at least 2:1. […]
I still really like being pregnant (its the hot, humid weather that I hate), and I feel pretty good, aside from sore feet.
This sad story has been weighing on my mind: a healthy mother who died hours after giving birth, possibly from bacteria introduced into her spinal fluid when she had an epidural. […]
