It’s Official
Well folks, it’s official, the time has come. We went in for another ultrasound today to measure the amniotic fluid around the baby, since I’m technically 2 days overdue as of today.  The good news is, the amnio was fine… but the baby again measured very small, in the 19th percentile. My OB recommended that we go ahead and get induced.  She said that it’s possible the baby is just small, and there’s nothing to worry about, but just in case it’s a matter of her not getting enough nutrients in utero, there really didn’t seem to be any reason to wait any longer.  As a matter of fact, she wanted me to get induced

More Stuff Goes Wrong
Ah, home ownership. So as you know, The Brick is run by thieving, moronic chimps without one brain cell to share between them.  We moved into our new home eleven days ago to find that not only were our appliances unceremoniously dumped and left in our living room, but that they were the wrong appliances anyway.  After requesting the correct appliances, we were promised delivery no less than three separate times, all of which proved fruitless.  We finally received all of the appliances we were supposed to get, but none of the correct hookups for them, and as such I currently have a dishwasher in my kitchen which cannot, technically, wash any d

Once Again, Smoke Signals Seem Like The Best Course of Action
So here’s the deal.  All of my family –all of them– live far enough away from me that calling them means a long-distance charge.  I talk to my parents and my grandmother every day, which means I need a really good long-distance plan. I used to use Bell long distance.  I even went so far as to buy into one of their “plans”, which was a huge waste of time considering my phone bill was consistently more than $100-200.  Recently, I discovered that Bell is changing their long-standing “10 cents/minute” long distance, and now they will calculate your charges based on how far away the person you’re calli

It’s tough to settle in when The Brick is sh*%$ing the bed.
We’re moved in an 95% unpacked, but it’s still been tough to settle in to the new place. First off, we didn’t have a fridge or stove for the first few days, thanks to The Brick, which I am firmly convinced is a company run entirely by dryer lint.  Seriously, there’s not a lick of sense to be found in that place.  We ordered BLACK APPLIANCES.   The appliances were delivered…and they were 100% white.  And they were dumped into our living room and left there.  What good will a fridge, stove and dishwasher do me in the middle of my living room?  But there they were.  Squatting unpleasantly in my living room, white as the goddamn snow.

Home, home, home
Well, the move was… interesting. We had arr anged for the elevator to be available to us at 1pm on Thursday, so of course we booked the movers for 1pm as well.  D’s parents and my Mom showed up early to help pack away last minute things and clean up the condo before we left for good. I spent quite a lot of the morning trying desperately to get in touch with the developer and find out where, exactly, we were moving to.  The previous day, we had gotten a call 14 hours after our occupancy was to have begun to tell us that hey, sorry, Toronto Hydro has cut off all power to your property, so you’re not allowed to move in yet, oh an
