  1. Seriously, body? Wake me at 0430 when the kid is sleeping just fine? That's it, I'm not speaking to you.
  2. Oh no. Metra UP-N line northbound delayed indefinitely due to a fatality at the Ravenswood stop. :( Thoughts are with the family.
  3. @marsh153 My husband just got word: fatality at UP-N Ravenswood.
  4. Liam's walking has gone from "sort of" to "wobbly but consistent" - we have a walker! :-D
  5. Out for late lunch on this hellish hot holiday. At La Ciudad on Sheridan, where the food is overwhelmingly fantastic.
  6. @singingspice *grin* @stesla's mom was trained in music and education, so he has a cheering section for all things musical. ^^
  7. Making music. @ Kohl Children's Museum instagr.am/p/LKI6bUogUc/
  8. @Lorata What's really funny is I intend to take some of these instagram photos and turn them into magnets via @stickygram. #fullcircle
  9. Splash dudes. @ Splash Landings instagr.am/p/LKGTDwIgTP/
  10. Magnets! How do they work? instagr.am/p/LKF26eIgTA/
  11. Popsicle. instagr.am/p/LKE10uogSh/
  12. Anyone know a site with printable coloring pages that isn't either dominated by Big Brand cartoons or in an 1990s web/ads ghetto?
  13. @Lorata (Also, I feel that once I've told you I'm transferring care away from you, the time to have a position on my choices has passed.)
  14. @Lorata I don't think it can be; there are plenty of OB/GYNs who act as backup for homebirth practitioners for example, so support is there?
  15. Is that true? Do doctors have to parrot the stances of ACOG/APA/etc regardless of what they understand to be true?
  16. I like my OB/GYN, but she had to go to the 'can't support homebirth' place. She claimed it was legally required due to the ACOG stance.
  17. Felt good taking Liam to swimming tonight - empowered and able. Settled in at home, and my lower back feels like it's full of rocks. :(
  18. "Mom! Mom! Look! I have a COMPUTER!" flic.kr/p/c52gTq
  19. I just pledged on Ben Folds Five: Brand New Album! bit.ly/JIZGK7 @PledgeMusic #benfoldsfive
