He was born in January but due in March. His adjusted age would be six months. Still tiny for that. Both my kids were 8lbs at birth. But he was born at just under 2lb at 30 weeks-with an intrauterine growth restriction--so he was not as big as he should have been at 30 weeks. And he's allergic to all milk proteins so getting him enough calories through his special formula is a bitch. But developmentally he's moving right along--he laughs, babbles, and he's rolling over both ways, so he's doing fine. Just tiny.
Which is good because I can call him Pee Wee Reece.
Is this where I link to the two houses on my street that are for sale? Asking prices are below $130,000.
Aw, Pee Wee Reece! Cutie.
msbelle, I think Texans might burn me at the stake in the town square. Although DH has mentioned the easy availability of actuarial jobs in Texas. But he's also seen openings in BERMUDA!
Pssst, Cashmere, you should totally move to Nashville! We have roller derby!
Denver!! What, I can dream.
no one will burn you at the stake. I promise. I AM UNMARRIED WITH SHORT HAIR AND A BROWN CHILD!! ON PURPOSE!
I also know someone on a local derby team!!! AND my street is right by a skating rink!!!!
SF SF SF! Seconding this!
Or Vegas. Or Reno! Downtown is like Vegas's scuzzy but weirdly charming cousin, it's way cheaper, and the non-downtown parts are getting to be decent places to raise kids. Plus, a river cutting through the middle of town and real cowboys wandering around and bowling conventions and all sorts of oddball shit.
ION, I think I'm finally done with Evo Psych Anti-Buffy Asshole. He's just making me sad now; after many many rounds we've now established that he simultaneously believes feminists are selfish and uncaring, and also believes that men are by nature more violent, more warlike, less nurturing, and less important to their own children, and that he himself lacks a nurturing gene and is of value to his family chiefly for the paycheck he brings home. He also believes it's dangerous to society to try to change this, because it's all just nature and you can't buck nature.
He has three kids, including two daughters, and I think about the years of therapy it took me to get a handle on all the daddy issues my mostly benign but incredibly emotionally remote dad gave me, and, man, I just want to hug this guy. Cyberhug, anyway; he still gives me the creeps and if I ever met him in person I wouldn't want to touch him with a ten-foot pole. But that just makes me sad, too.
eta: We've got Kezar right around the corner from us. Bay City Bombers, baby!
