Just a Little Prick

I awoke this morning with a serious cold which I caught from my already sick 3-month old daughter. As such a situation generally warrants, I was not starting the day in the greatest mood. Multiply that by a billion now that I’ve read this post by PZ Myers on the American Academy of Pediatrics creating a loophole for female genital…

AI: Baby Times

If this AI has made it to post, that means I’m either pushing a baby out RIGHT NOW or I just did. HALP! WHAT THE HELL DO I DOÂ WITH THIS THING? The Afternoon Inquisition (or AI) is a question posed to you, the Skepchick community. Look for it to appear daily at 3pm ET.

Want to go into labor? Try these tricks!

I’m ready. I’m past my due date by 5 days and hoping for labor to begin any minute. Actually I’ve been hoping for 3 weeks now, since I reached 37 weeks – the official “full term” date.

AI: Downtime

I’ve had a lot of downtime for the past year. I was let go from a job at the end of 2008 and began 2009 in a temp position. When I started back in school and the temp job ended, my husband encouraged me to just focus on school instead of going to another job. Then I got pregnant and…

Yellow! Do you feel more aware now?

As I’m sure all of you Facebook users noticed over the past couple days, a silly bra-color-themed status wildfire ignited annoyances all over the internet. Being more curmudgeonly than usual, this got on my nerves to no end. “Why,” you ask? Because it started as a chain letter and had a label slapped onto it when people questioned the motives.…

Balls! Pure Balls.
