Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Tuna on pita bread with tomato and provolone. And ADORABLE KITTENS WITH A CHICKEN ON THEM!

"Velvety Potato" flavor.

Does the soup contain actual deer antlers?

Now tagless for your comfort.

SUCK IT, WHIGS!

That one cracked my shit up. As did "Ahm in ur Pacific Possessions ridin' ur ungulates".

I had a left-over cheeseburger from the grill last night and the kids had chicken nuggets, with fresh cucumbers & ranch dressing and blueberries.

All your lunches are pitatastic. Dude. Weird.

I'm hungry but not starving, so I was thinking maybe gyoza. Or pad thai.

Had my (hopefully) last sonogram today. Baby is 7 pounds currently, meaning he will likely be 9-ish by his due date. Um, ouch! On the plus side, I think this means I get to go back to drinking as much coffee as I want (since the only semi-proven side effect in humans is low birth weight, which seems pretty clearly not an issue for us. Did I mention OUCH???)

On the plus side also, ultrasound weight estimates have a fairly hefty margin of error. (And really, it's head size that makes the difference, from everything I've read. A small baby with a ginormous noggin is more painful to push out than a large baby with a smaller noggin.)

Careful - if the caffeine inspires lots of in utero activity, there could be a slimming effect. Plus the fun of spazzing baby jazzercise in your innards.

I'm having leftover fried rice and hot & spicy shrimp for lunch today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What is everyone having for lunch?

Salmon dijonnaise. Mmm. I like our cafeteria.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a flatbread pizza at Uno's -- greek flavored, so it was salt-tastic and delicious.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm trying to pick out stencils for the back steps that lead to the garden. I'm sort of leaning toward dancing lizards, which i think goes well with our spanish style apartment complex, but I'm also loving the daisies.

Sadly, both of MiniAlter's parents have freakishly large heads and broad shoulders in addition to our otherwise generous proportions. I suspect he shall be inheriting the title of Gorgo the Babysaur, passed down from his uncle (who had freakishly broad shoulders at birth and then quickly became an enourmously fat and cute infant).
