A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
First, in case you missed it: Matt and I are having a boy!! Yesterday was my almost-midpoint midwife appointment at Special Beginnings, and it went really well! Though it was shorter than all my other visits so far (most have been at least 45 minutes and up to two hours, this one was about 30 minutes), I felt like all my questions and concerns were addressed. I did forget to mention the … [Read more...]
So I’ve been feeling movement for the past couple weeks, which has been absolutely amazing. They come and go, and sometimes a day or two goes by when I don’t feel anything, but I figure that’s kind of normal (that’s what I’m telling myself, at least!).

Let's get off the topic of politics for a moment and focus on something happy! :) I hit 16 weeks yesterday, a milestone for sure.

She's also pregnant with an amazing little boy, and she had something to say about last night's election: I totally hear you, Lizzie. And I absolutely did, too. For yours, mine, and everyone … [Read more...]
I am so, so proud of my country, my home state of Florida, and my current homestead of Maryland, among other states, for last night. I knew we could do it, and while it was a nail-biter to the very end, my faith in our citizens has been restored. Last night, we stood up for equality. We stood up for justice. We stood up for the rich AND for the poor, for men AND for women, for straight people … [Read more...]
