so, i wrote this little diatribe on my other blog last april after an easter sunday spent w/ some of my coworkers kids. they’re adorable and i’m sure quite age-appropriately brilliant, but i mused on how long it takes for kids to have functional, life-sustaining little brains. and an article this morning on cnn about …
i’ve been feeling the last week or so like this 40 weeks of pregnancy (count it. 10 months. do the math) is waaaaay too long. i mean, Christmas is, like, FOREVER from now and march is way past that! maybe i’ll feel different in the next, less barfy phase of things. and one thing is …

my wife and i have recently discovered that we’re going to have a baby. we scheduled an 8-week ultrasound appointment with her OB/GYN. she’s been sending me links to whattoexpect.com describing our baby’s development and size. it’s cute. and it’s been really exciting and a lot of fun. since she works in medicine, she has …
