What Women Do During Baby Showers

Interesting. I note the presence of a few glasses of alcohol in this photo, too. Who knew? My apologies to all men for my previous post.

This photo is from the second baby shower I attended in as many weeks. My good friend Severine (not shown; the photo is of Kristen, Jen and me) is expecting her very own baby boy in February. It's practically raining babies around me - everywhere I turn, another pregnant woman appears!

What Men Do During Baby Showers

In case you were wondering...

Bryan and I spent last weekend in Pittsburgh, showering his sister Kristyn with love and gifts for her little one, who is due just after Christmas day. I have my fingers crossed that she actually delivers a few days early so that we can meet her little one when we're visting again at Christmastime. Otherwise, it may be months before we get to meet him/her. How sad is that?!

Bridget's Choice

I had a brownie and a banana on my desk. Is it wrong that I went for the brownie?

In my first trimester, I ate just like normal, but I could barely look at any sugary food - I made an entire pan of brownies and didn't eat a single one! In my second trimester, my appetite has remained somewhat normal: no unusual cravings or indulgences, I'm simply much less likely to skip my afternoon snack. Very recently, however, my love of sugary food has returned...and doubled. It might be due, in part, to Halloween and the recent availability of Milky Ways in my fridge, but I like to think it also has something to do with my new theory that baby boys like chocolate as much as women do!

RSS Feed Subscription Links Now Available

Yes, I know. I should have had this setup when we first created the blog, but I didn't think about it until last Friday. You'll see that there are now links in the top left of our blog page that will allow you to subscribe to an RSS feed using your RSS aggregator of choice.

Right now, I have provided links for the standard RSS feed as well as ones targeted to Google Reader, My Yahoo!, and My AOL.

If you aren't sure what I am talking about when I say "RSS" here's a brief description. RSS is a standard way for types of content, like blogs, to communicate their content around the internet. RSS is great because regardless of whether I write a blog on Blogger or someone else writes a blog on WordPress the RSS feed still looks the same. People, like you and me, use what are called "RSS Aggregators" or "RSS Readers" to get updates about the blogs we are interested in without having to go out to each blog we like to read and find out if any updates have been made recently. I'm a big fan of Google Reader but most blog readers have the same basic set of features.

Of course, this blog post is not nearly as interesting as the previous one.
