http://www.mondayswithmac.com/2014/05/on-being-mom-he-knows.html
Monday, 12 May 2014. On Being the Mom He Knows. At the top of our stairs there are two photos from our wedding. One with our wedding party and one of just Tracy and me. Sometimes Tracy likes to look at the photos with Mac and point out the people he knows. But when they get to me he throws a fit. I don't like Ma like that. I don't like Ma like that.". I don't like Ma like that. I like Ma like ttthhhhaaattt. Happy belated Mother's Day. I hope it was everything you wanted it to be. On Being the Mom He Knows.

Tuesday, 19 February 2013. Sperm That He Didn't Put There (Prequel Part 7). OK, so this hiatus has been exceptionally long. My apologies friends. When. Hit I basically struggled to hit the bare minimum of promised Monday posts. And the longer I let this series slide, well, the longer it slid. But our story, the one where we meet Andy and he knocks me up, is a good one so I'd like to finish it. Need to catch up? We put an ad up online and found. We nervously exchanged emails and Facebook messages and let ...

Mondays with Mac: Always Grateful for the Sound
http://www.mondayswithmac.com/2012/01/always-grateful-for-sound.html
Wednesday, 18 January 2012. Always Grateful for the Sound. He was as happy as can be. And then today I woke up to a blood curdling scream. As I tried to soothe him he grabbed for my fingers and shoved them into his mouth. Not able to talk he was showing me. Inside his mouth I felt a razor sharp little tooth poking through his gums and knew we were in for a rough day today. His little lungs worked overtime as he screamed out scared, alone, confused and cold. He cried and cried as the NICU team continu...

Mondays with Mac: Just One Kiss Mama
http://www.mondayswithmac.com/2014/04/just-one-kiss-mama.html
Monday, 28 April 2014. Just One Kiss Mama. I sink into the corner of the couch. Legs pulled up to my chest. Phone resting on my knee. But the lack of space between my thigh and my torso always makes my son nervous. Nothing else should ever be on my lap but him. And when my lap disappears he wiggles his little arm into the empty space and pushes until there is room for his body. Up please." The squeaky voice of toddlerhood. His many demands are now bookended with please and thank-you. Kiss maximum rule is...

Mondays with Mac: Making Memories
http://www.mondayswithmac.com/2014/05/making-memories.html
Monday, 5 May 2014. Tracy thinks her first memories come some time later. She doesn't think she can remember the time before school started. When it was just her and her mom at home. She remembers feeling homesick at school and trying to hold back tears while. Kindergarden floor. So she knows. Must have been happy moments to be missed. But they escape her. Me neither. These episodes are old. Barney is now a retired rockstar and google did not reveal a farewell or comeback tour. Tracy and I were giddy wit...

Mondays with Mac: Making Babies the Lesbian Way. And why it might be good for your STRAIGHT marriage.
http://www.mondayswithmac.com/2014/04/making-babies-lesbian-way-and-why-it.html
Monday, 14 April 2014. Making Babies the Lesbian Way. And why it might be good for your STRAIGHT marriage. So, anyway, where am I going with this? I have a friend. I'm going to call her Khaleesi because I just read that there are now more babies named Khaleesi than Betsy or Nadine in the U.S. And that totally blows my mind. But that's not her real name. She doesn't want her sex life broadcasted on the internet. I know, weird right? I mean, my wife doesn't want that either. To make matters worse, their wo...
