Ruminations



First, we've got a couple new ultrasound images to view, taken earlier today:28542857The pen outlines are from Dr. Chun, OB/GYN.


A new school of thought around the Tiar household: maybe we shouldn't add on to this house. For about the same cost each month, we can probably just move into a house that has the size and arrangement we need. We're not committed to living on Novelly Dr. forever, so we're thinking maybe about 18 months out, rolling some of the equity here into a downpayment on something different. Hopefully still a good market then, hopefully in a nice old neighborhood.


Lola is quite the maniac these days. Her sentences are getting longer and consistent, although she does babble like a talking chimp as well. Lots of energy, but great night's sleeps. For all of us. And she's eating quite a bit more. When I pick her up, she's heavier and just...bigger in general. Not a baby anymore, by any stretch of the imagination.


Brief movie review: Children of Men was really good. Bleak, depressing view of the future, but with brief beautiful moments of levity amid the chaos. I like Clive Owen quite a bit. He plays the "ordinary man caught in extraordinary circumstances" role triumphantly here.


Well, that's about it for tonight I suppose.

  2. Look at that little tiny babe! Love the pen outline, too. Last night was night three of cio and not a peep! It is like magic, isn't it? I feel like a million bucks today, but I know we are not out of the woods yet. Thanks again for the words of encouragement and sharing your experience.
