Yawn. 
Someone decided to take a page out of Callie's marital handbook this morning.
One of Steve's most endearing features is that he takes EVERY pregnancy symptom seriously. There's no eye-rolling, no slightly-disbelieving looks - he's a model of respect and compassion. So, when I tease him about having a nymphomaniacal pregnant wife, he looks at me in guinine concern (as if its a medical disorder) and says, "What can I do?" and I erupt into laughter. Mmm. What CAN we POSSIBLY do?
I am hoping to be able to make an offer to a candidate for my open position by the end of the day tomorrow. I would really like to be able to plan for my leave knowning that my team will be fully staffed and relatively fully functioning by the time I'm out. The learning curve for my team's work is long and steep (the fastest anyone has ramped up is 6 months) so if I have someone in house by 10/1, we'll have 3 of those 6 months under our belts by the time Turtle comes.
Some Will-isms:
"Sa-be-do" = strawberry
"ta-pe-do" = potato
"ta-gu" = triangle
I had my first limp-noodle episode in a parking with a toddler last night at the library. I feel like a true parent now. I couldn't pick him up, so I ended up dragging my limp noodle to the car rather than let go of his hand. Ahh. Good times.

I've tried puttin' shoes on a toddler who doesn't wanna be "shoed." Not fun!
And I read "I had my first limp-noodle episode in a parking....." and my mind had you and Steve in a parking lot. I thought "Wow, what bad luck. First limp noodle episode, and in a parking lot no less." Glad it was the toddler. Whew!

Boy what I've missed not being a parent. So is the human hard on induced by "baby Viagra"? Just curious.

Steve is so innocent. I'll bet he was happy to see that you weren't kidding about feeling nymphomaniacal.

OMG - see, I'm reading limp noodle and I don't think 'kid' I think 'man'. And then Callie has to go and bust out 'human hard on' and ... Good Lord, I'm still just so tired.

The limp noodle is an oldie but goodies. My second favorite would be the Human Hard On. Y'know what I'm talkin' about. When they stiffen up and refuse to get in the car seat or let you buckle the restraints. Ah, the joys of motherhood.
