First Steps (off the plank)

Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Because books.
You want *pregnancy* milestones, quester? I'm not sure there are a lot that are catchy, you know? Except maybe, like, Hemorrhoid Hill or something.
Other milestones are hearing the baby's heartbeat, sonogram pictures, discovering the sex. Most of the other ones take place in utero, really.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Baby's first kick?

Oooh, good one. Also if the baby has the hiccups. First contraction, too, I guess.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
From a NY Times Magazine article about prayer in America. [link]
And a predominantly gay synagogue in San Francisco, Congregation Sha’ar Zahav, has composed its own prayer to be said after anonymous sex. “In the dark, in a strange place, our father Jacob encountered a stranger with whom he grappled all night,” a reference to the Biblical story of Jacob wrestling with an angel. “He never knew the stranger’s name, yet their encounter was a blessing which turned Jacob into Israel and made him realize, I have seen God face to face.” The prayer asks God — “who created passion and wove it throughout creation” — to bless casual sex and turn it into a blessing “that allows us to both touch and see the Divine.”

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I, like many others here, hang a u-ey.
My mom came and helped me today, and damn she is getting old. Also, she just got diagnosed with diabetes, and all they did was give her a pamphlet????

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I sometimes do a u-ey.

Amy, I'm open to any concept that works. I just figured since the baby is ultimately the treasure, that getting there must deal with pregnancy stuff.
I like first steps on plank, heartbeat and sex are good ideas.
Keep em coming!
ION, I just heard today that after my $200ish November payment to COBRA, my December payment will be $500+! I really didn't plan on being unemployed this long!
