Hell's Bells and Sassafras: sexism and parenting →
natasha2marie: judgernaut: Genni and I were talking about this the other day. Fathers are given so much more credit than mothers. I guess because fathers aren’t traditionally expected to have a heavy hand in raising the child?

Ready. Set. Go Make Babies
Got the email to book our flights for Friday into Laguardia. Then a train into Bridgeport CT and cross our fingers that the embryo transfer(s) goes well and takes. I’m trying not to get too excited.

One last Sushibel post from me for the day
When Jason asked the other day about ‘what’s it like’ - everyone offered funny jokes and some really well spoken advice. Something though has been bouncing around in my head and I can’t help but say it. One of the things that changed for me in a big way is Fight or Flight. I gravitate towards conflict. I don’t invite it but I never back down from it. I will run not...

My house is music
I have two computers and an Ipod playing music. All different songs. Birthday songs. My favorite songs. Happy songs. I am a world away but can’t help be happy. My heart’s dancing.

True story
morrowplanet: Very likely the most amazing moment of my life was the first moment I caught a glimpse of my daughter’s head as she began to crown after a long, confusing, and frustrating labor. Let mama rest a little, baby girl, then get moving, but don’t tear ass. (See what I did there?) Same. Only when my daughter’s head began to crown I said, “oh look an ice cream...

I don't know how I got home
63 miles from KC to Topeka. I laughed from work, right into my garage. I had to pull over. Twice.
