We’ll be adding a third devil to the pack in March. I couldn’t blog about it until I told my mom, now, could I? And I couldn’t tell my mom without some good concrete info about a due date, and I couldn’t get good concrete info about a due date without an ultrasound, and I couldn’t get an ultrasound until they managed to squeeze me into their insanely busy schedule.
Why no pre-existing info about a due date? Because my last period was…August, 2003. Not helpful. In case you were wondering: nursing: not an adequate form of birth control. (We knew that, we really did.)
So, returning readers over the next few weeks can expect to read about: the fact that I can’t eat anything I really like due to my insane listeriosis paranoia, the excitement of having E antibodies in your blood in apparent reaction to the E antigen and why midwives do some minor freaking out about i, and my deep dark fears on the subject of being outnumbered.
We’ve just completed the final edits on Reading to Babies, Toddlers and Twos, so in theory I’ll have plenty of time to blog madly away. In practice, though, I’m playing catch-up on both my novel and my freelance career…oh, and I have these two kids…we’ll see how it goes.

I would also like to say right now, just as a general anouncement, that if my mother-in-law ever discovers this blog it ends then and there. I nearly sent her an email the other day from this address–whew! Not that I ever say anything mean about her, or ever would, but having her read it would be…weird. Beyond weird. Certainly paralyzing. Not good.
