Difficult pregnancies and becoming a mother or: How I became more pro-choice

Posted on July 10, 2013 by

Through all three pregnancies I suffered a debilitating condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Some people dismiss … Continue reading →

Misha’s still in San Francisco, so today Avi & I went to see Dr. H. He (Avi) was very good and was flirting with every woman there. He had one small meltdown when I wouldn’t let him go in the … Continue reading →

The name game & why we need to hurry up and pick one

Posted on February 26, 2012 by

I seriously hate naming things. We had a hard enough time with naming Zoë then it came time to name Avi. Luckily, Avi was the name I liked most on Misha’s list & Daniel just seemed to flow with it. … Continue reading →

My so charmed pregnancies

Posted on January 16, 2012 by

I suck at being pregnant. My body just does not handle pregnancy well at all. My first pregnancy was a disaster from start to early finish. I had nausea from 2 days after finding out I was pregnant to 3 … Continue reading →

It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

Posted on January 4, 2011 by

Well… maybe a little exhausted & covered in spit up, but mostly fine. November 16 at 2:01 pm our lives were turned upside down (in a good way). The baby formerly known as Boyshteyn was born and we officially became … Continue reading →

*sings* I don’t care if I go crazy

Posted on September 17, 2010 by

The state of my uterus, or: Everybody was kung fu fighting

Posted on July 28, 2010 by

I’m fairly certain that I am currently housing a ninja. This baby seriously likes to kick. Like violently. And often. Misha hasn’t felt him move yet, but he’s seen it. It’s freaky. It’s a little reminiscent of the “chestburster” in … Continue reading →
