What is that?
It's a lethal genetic defect. She's probably five months along in the pregnancy and will carry through. Most Trisomy 18 babies die in utero or are still born.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, that's awful, Cashmere.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I'm so sorry Cashmere. That's --there are no words.

I remember having my growth spurt in 4th grade (by the end of that grade, I was around 5'3"), and stopped at 5'8" two years later.
Fourth grade was the year I also first wore a bra--first girl in my class, so I felt like a freak, just like the following year when I was the first girl to get my period.

They had a lot of trouble getting pregnant with their first son who just turned a year old and were so happy with the second pregnancy.
I feel so bad for her.

I'm taking the kids to Indiana this weekend so I'm going to give her a call while I'm in town.
In other, less depressing news, I scouted two possible practice venues for roller derby. I got cocky and didn't put on my knee pads, which means I hit a piece of debris on the floor and fell right onto my knees. Hopefully the bruise will be scrapbook worthy.

Because books.
Oh, Cash, I'm so sorry. That's so rough.
Good news on the roller derby practice, though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hopefully the bruise will be scrapbook worthy.
That's the spirit! Somewhere I have a picture of a bruise covering one entire butt cheek. My record tally was 43 bruises at once.
