One of the worst parts of being on a surgery rotation for my first trimester is that I get so HUNGRY, tired and thirsty in the OR. Fortunately I have only really gotten stuck a couple of times, but it is just horrible when it happens.
My sis suggested I hide some sour patch kids in [...]

Before I bring you this week’s exciting events, I would just like to say once again: I hate surgery. I had such a horrible day yesterday that I started fantasizing about ways I could escape from OR (and hours of mind-numbing boredom). For a moment I seriously considered throwing my shoe into the sterile field [...]

Calvin. As in Cal. As in “Go Bears!”
It’s where we met, after all.

This is going to be an expensive pregnancy if this keeps up.
Sarah sent me to the store to fulfil the first craving of this pregnancy. She asked me to get a filet, but at $23/lb. I opted for the more reasonable ribeye at $12/lb. Looks like if you want to send pregnancy gifts, [...]

This week, your baby’s heart and circulatory system are taking shape. Your baby’s blood vessels will complete a circuit, and his or her heart will begin to beat.

Man–the size of a tip of a [...]

I have been harassing my mom about not using her computer, and she finally did and read our blog. So now I suppose I better keep writing…soooo hi mom!
The end of my week was better–I actually got home at three yesterday. Rahul took me out for a fancy dinner and then we had ice cream [...]

First, I just want to say how nice it is to come home to a husband that rubs your feet. Especially when he is also a husband that calls to figure out health insurance for Le Bebe, investigates dental plans, rescues dinner and cleans the bathroom (and that last one at 5:30 in the morning, [...]
