hoo boy.
I followed a link from a "feminist mothers" page and found myself at the New Homemaker site, where they have a feature article on how to make cafe curtains.
If that's the feminist end of the spectrum, where do I fit in? or will motherhood make me care about cafe curtains?

and learn to spell. it's only one "L" in the middle of l-o-l-i-t-a (hoping that won't set off the search engines again)

 

hey world, we had sex last night!

with the whole candles/music thang.

you don't really care, do you? anyway, it was the evening of Day 13. we plan to do it again every 36 hours until I am post-ovulation or am definitely pregnant.

so think of us in the morning.

;-)

oh, and to my paedophile friends: you are creeps. I wish I'd never mentioned the "L" word; it brings me a whole lot of unwanted traffic. and it's SCARY how many there are; if you want to see, click on my sitemeter and marvel at the referral strings.

heather has had her little girl. Rose Judith. she's spectacular (Rose, not Heather) and I came out of the hospital (dragging myself away after my regulation 1/2 hour) glowing and as clucky as 16 broody hens.

have I mentioned possible names?
I like short, to the point names with L's and E's and K's
like Lee, Elle, Kelly, and as occured to me last night, April.
They will have my husband's last name anyway. my brothers have enough kids to pass on my name.
though I have NO INTENTION of changing my name, even if people are starting to send me letters as "Mrs Hisname"
it looks quite weird on paper. it's someone else's name. not me. I'm not a married woman about to have children, oh no, not me.
got my period two days early today. ( as predicted by my lovely charting method.)
which only means we can try again two days earlier next time.

is wanting to not come to work anymore a legitimate reason to create a new life?

I think my husband will last about one day at full-time childcare, leaving me to go for walks in the park on nice sunny days, like today, and watch Playschool

L is for Lazy...

 

oh, and a note to all you people coming here on the keywords "lollita" and "nude children"?

I AM COLLECTING YOUR IP ADDRESSES AND WILL EMAIL THEM TO THE BERTELSMANN FOUNDATION'S INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF ANTI-CHILD-PORN LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

it's too late now, I've got your details in my database. better get to deleting all those pix now...

 
my workmate's wife's twins were born last week, only fairly successfully. the second one was without oxygen for a while. but they say she'll be OK.
and the good thing is that they have an exact match to compare her to!

 
babysitting my 2-year-old and 10-month-old nephews last Friday morning: I think the highlight was the moment I was kneeling on the floor holding the baby, with the toddler crying on my shoulder because I wouldn't give him more biscuits, the baby rubbing his eyes with his little fist ready to cry himself.

or maybe the time the 2-year-old was on the toilet (he's in training) demanding that I read him a book, while the baby tried to crawl into the toilet room, where he definitely shouldn't be.

or just afterwards, when I popped the baby in his crib so I'd have enough free hands to dress the toddler, so the baby SCREAMED with outrage.

why do I want to do this again?

in the space of 24 hours I saw: an article about eels with photos of squirming elvers
a bus-stop ad with a picture of an Indian chap covered in snakes
about 20 fat black caterpillars crawling over each other in a mass on a felled branch

is it just me, or is all that very spermish?

a blog from someone who's had a baby

 
Day 17, cycle whatever.
due to his business, my grumpiness, general disorganisation, him forgetting what weekend it was, me being too stubborn to remind him, procastination, etc, we have totally missed a cycle.
four weeks feels like a very long time to wait until next time. am I starting to get a taste of what it's like to be at the mercy of one's body?
