Today Caleb had his 10 week check-up at Kaiser. I spent almost three hours at the doctor’s office, most of it in the waiting room of the pediatrics vaccination clinic, but I’ll get to that later. Here are his current stats: Weight: 12 lbs., 9 oz. (61.68% of weight percentile for age) Length: 23″ (42.42% Read More
Well, after many attempts to get a photo of my super happy little guy, I finally nabbed one! He usually squeals and grins at me until I hold up a camera or bring in another person. This time I really had him going and luckily had the camera in tow. This is the face I Read More
Yay me! I just started selling books on Amazon, and so can you.. It’s easy! I have a ka-jillion books that I’m never going to read again. So, I’m slowly building a stack of them (and maybe some other used stuff…) so I can make a bit of profit! If you have books you don’t Read More

This is reflection one. Summary: This chapter is about how it is difficult to convey to others what a mother does all day long parenting her child. For one, people who are not mothers don’t understand how “nothing” gets accomplished all day. This is especially because mothers often have nothing tangible to show for their Read More
Well, since Caleb was born I’ve been a bit self-conscious of my weight. I put on about 10 pounds before I got pregnant (called trying to finish a master’s degree while working full time). I figured I’d lose it all this summer by playing volleyball and surfing. But, God had other plans. Instead, I added Read More
Well, out of curiosity, I dug out my old photo box and scanned in a few pictures of me as a baby. I’m not sure what age I was in these pictures, but Josh swears he’s seen some of these looks come from Caleb. One thing’s for sure though, I sure loved to eat blankets.
The picture on the left is of Josh when he was 3 months old. The picture on the right is of Caleb at 8 weeks old. It’s fun to compare the two! I’m trying to see if I can find some pictures of me that would compare to some of our new Flickr photos. It’d Read More
