Getting Ready And New Cycling Discoveries

Hi there. Still pregnant. In fact, today marks 36 weeks and 2 days, so I’m not even full term yet. The nursery mural is not done yet, partly because painting while super pregnant is kind of tiring. The other major factor is the otherwise good painting time seems to have been taken over by Olympics [...]

Think Big, Start Small, Fail Fast, Learn Always.

This is a quote I picked up somewhere in a book and wrote down because I like it. Remy likes it too and he certainly knows the first two things. How so? We went to the birthing center again today and boy have I caught up on my weight gain! Five pounds in 2 weeks, [...]

Harvest Season

I think I mentioned our garden in some posts earlier this year. Well, it’s still there, what’s left of it that didn’t die off into nothingness. It’s a good thing I’m not a betting person because I would have lost my shirt putting money on predictions of which items would make it and which wouldn’t. [...]

So Big!

How big? So big that I underestimate the amount of space I need to leave for belly clearance. Sorry Remy for brushing the belly with the refrigerator door this morning. All my shirts are shrinking and even my cruiser bike handle bars are getting closer to the saddle. I swear. The world gets smaller as [...]

Dude. Get Over Yourself.

This all could have been avoided if you’d just been a little bit friendly. But no, you had to go and be all you two dorks on cruiser bikes don’t deserve acknowledgment from my ever-loving uber-cool-self because I’m so wicked clever and fast and have a road bike with actual clipless pedals.

Oh, wait. I’m [...]

Always Check The Weather

It was foolish on my part, but I don’t think I looked at the weather forecast since last Thursday. From that vantage point, it looked to be a hot, rain-free weekend. Good for getting some commuting to the store riding in, which is what we planned to do today.

After a morning of painting the [...]

At The Quarry Again

I went to the quarry today only to find two other 8 month pregnant women floating there before me.  Uh-huh.  I knew it was a good idea.

The mile hike from the parking lot was good, but like other walks lately, marked by a tightening uterus.  Yes, the Braxton Hicks are getting more noticeable, particularly [...]
