By far the easiest contest you will ever participate in

One of the most frequent comments I get when I tell people I’m pregnant is some variation of “Oh, your life is really going to change.” It’s like these people say this thinking I’ll respond with, “Huh. Really? Because I’ve just spent the last 28 years living in a remote shack in the woods, completely [...]

My good friend Jasmine is getting married on a boat in a couple weeks. She has asked me to be the photographer on her special day, an honor I could not pass up, though I have to admit, also has me a bit nervous, as I’ve never shot a wedding before. Today I went with [...]

Men hang on to underwear until each underwear molecule is so strained it can barely retain the properties of a solid. It becomes underwear vapor.

Him: I’m think I’m going to throw these away … Holds up pair of boxer briefs with ginormous hole in the crotchal region. … y’know, because my balls fall out. Me: Good call.

When I got to work today, after a brisk walk from the park and ride, the first thing I did when I logged on to the internet was go directly to my online banking site where I ceremoniously transferred $50 from checking to savings as a “reward” to myself for sticking to the plan to [...]

Kramer: Then the mugger, he comes to, and he starts chokin’ me! So I’m fightin’ him off with one hand and I kept drivin’ the bus with the other, y’know? Then I managed to open up the door, and I kicked him out the door with my foot, you know – at the next stop.Jerry: [...]

Walk of life

Not only am I trying to get fiscally fit while pregnant, I’d also like to get physically fit, too. The thought seems a bit counterintuitive, as this should be the one time I allow myself to eat what I want (ooh, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies as big as my head!) without feeling like I have [...]

Fiscally fit

On the same day I finally told work about my pregnancy, I also inquired with HR about my company’s maternity leave plan. Before then, I’d never really looked into it (stupid, I know), and for some reason I just assumed they’d have a kick-ass plan, seeing as they so kindly give us profit sharing, gas [...]

There will be mood swings

This weekend was a bit of a bipolar experience for Roth. I woke up Saturday morning in the worst mood ever, after a night of restlessness. I haven’t been sleeping very well lately, mostly because I’m ridiculously panicked I’ll end up sleeping on my right side, or worse, my back. Not that any of these [...]

A couple months ago, I gasped in horror when I discovered Roth pruning our blackberry bushes back to nothing but brambly stumps. Sure, the bushes were all dried up and dead after a relentless winter of rain, sleet and snow, but I couldn’t be convinced that they would ever return to their berry-bearing glory in [...]

I imagine in a few more weeks, I won’t be able to see my knees from this perspective. More obligatory belly and additional ultrasound shots here.
