Dear Dexter,

Intactivist
I am very much against circumcision.  It is a violation of a boy's body, a boy's rights.  I find memes cover many of my feelings toward this issue of routine circumcision of boys in the US: The US no longer finds female circumcision acceptable: The reasons ...

'Dreams'
 I've been having some pretty vivid dreams during this pregnancy. Very life like with a twist of my own 'insanity,' just to keep things interesting. Some of them have been good 'happy' dreams, but most of the ones I remember are nightmares. I think I rememb...

The Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon: an awesome, hilarious Broadway play. Written by the writers of South Park. It was amazing hilarity! Hubby and I had a hard time staying in our seats we were laughing so hard, so much! It's a musical: so many great songs, memorable lines,...

I'm an anti-theist.

Cloth Diapers...

30 Weeks!
Oh my goodness!  We're already in week 30 !!  Where has the time gone!? The days are just flying by! Dexter has gotten so big for my belly! He's been able to wake me up a few times from wiggling around. Usually when I wake up it feels like he's tap dancing ...

Hospital Visit!!!
(Perhaps a TMI post...) Happy new year Dexter! This is the year that you're going to be born, your dad and I are incredibly excited to meet you! Since you're not here yet... your dad & I wanted to bring the new year in with a bang! (Or six or seven bangs!) ...
