Home stretch, here we are! This will be the first time my third trimester is entirely in the summer, so I was glad for that stretch of cold, rainy May. I went for my glucose tolerance test yesterday, and Jonathan was jealous that I got to drink the "orange soda." Too bad he couldn't... (More)

Fixed It!

Yesterday, Jonathan was playing with a mini flashlight when part of it fell off. He spent quite a while trying to put it back together ("Mommy! The clear part fell off, and when I tried to get that, the bulb fell out. Where does this black piece go?") But he was mostly talking to... (More)

Multi Update

Noah now has many more words that I can write down. They are still mostly only understood by me and Jonathan, but he's using his mouth to communicate. Most words have only the initial consonant and vowel sound (moo for "moose") and some have only part of the word (mo' for "remote") so much... (More)

More Words!

4/8 - We were reading a non-word book about getting a new baby in the house, and Noah would say "baby" perfectly as he pointed to the baby in each picture. He now says it often, sometimes referring to himself, sometimes to my tummy, sometimes to a picture of another baby, sometimes randomly.... (More)

I just updated Usermin, and so wanted to make sure that my custom modules didn't break. And in the process, poked around through my webalizer module, which shows the things that people type into search engines to end up at our blog as well as the number of hits for certain pages. ... (More)

VMWare 1.0.5 Server patch for 2.6.25 kernel

I had the privilege of installing VMWare 1.0.5 on a brand new 2.6.25 kernel. I downloaded the 2.6.XX patch for vmware 1.0.4 , applied the one change from asm to linux in vcpuset.h. That had worked for me before when using 1.0.5 on a 2.6.24 kernel, but today I downloaded a 2.6.25... (More)

Baby Ticker, Midwife Center

My friend Bonnie has this neat baby ticker on her blog, so I thought I'd look up mine. Since I'm still getting used to the baby being as old as he is, it was surprising to me to see how big he looks. I couldn't get the application to imbed in the post, so it's on our sidebar at... (More)

Quickening

Last week I felt the baby moving. This is always a fun thing for a mom, to feel that physical connection to the baby. However, this quickening has brought with it an element of surprise. I do tend to feel my babies early, but that still brings me to at least 14 weeks... (More)

Where Does The Time Go? (the numbers are even correct this time...)

Shortly after I posted the first analysis of my time , I realized that my hours per day calculation were kind of off, since I was counting 7 day weeks, and I basically never work on Sundays. As I am redoing the calculations, I see that I must have been doing something strange to try get... (More)
