Last night I dreamed about 1) Clive cheating on me during someone else’s fourth month of pregnancy and 2) Writing this entry. I was so mad at Clive for cheating on me, that I nearly woke him up in the middle of the night to yell at him. Then I realized that he and […]

Dreams and Thoughts

In the past week or so, my dreams have become much more vivid than normal. I had a nightmare last week, and it was one of those movie-esque situations where right when it gets really, really scary, the alarm clock goes off and you hit the Off button with a sigh of relief.

Filed Under Daily, The Father | 2 Comments
We were babysitting out nephew last week, and I put Clive in charge of changing the two year old’s diaper (twice), and after we left, we got a call from Clive’s sister, in hysterics, telling him that the diaper was on backwards! He admitted that he did it the same way both times.

How your baby’s growing: The cells that will make up all of your baby’s body parts and systems are dividing furiously as her body begins to take shape. Right now she’s about the size of a small lentil bean (4 to 5 millimeters across). If you could see through your uterine wall, you’d find an […]
