http://kellyjeanwalden.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. The Year of Nothing Big. The past half a decade, I've been earning degrees, getting hitched, buying houses, paying vet bills, and so on. It's been busy. So last year, husb and I were like, "Let's not do anything in 2012." Do nothing we did. This made time for reading. This little man exemplified all that is perfect about Game of Thrones. Thought. But seriously, if I spoke about direwolves. Has consumed me&#...

Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Monday, July 21, 2014. Before having a 3-pound baby, I'd never given a single dang thought to the NICU. Now not only do I think about it, but I imagine coming into large sums of money and donating it to NICUs. Around the globe because, man! They do some thiiiiings. P's room back when she had that weird, clear, baby cage. In Phoebe's room, we have a crib (see ya, isolette! Cozy rolly chair for baby time, li'l couch that converts into a...

Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Sunday, February 10, 2013. In 2013, I intend to identify at least one hundred species of birds. When I bring it up, most people are like, "Isn't that really easy? Aren't there like three hundred species in just Seattle? I have three responses:. 1 I don't know how easy it will be. I've never done it, goof. 2 There are lots and lots of species in Seattle, but that doesn't mean it's simple to track down the rascals. 17 Coots, coots, coots.

http://kellyjeanwalden.blogspot.com/2014/07/kangaroo-care.html
Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Monday, July 7, 2014. When I was pregnant, I remember thinking how weird it would be if I were a marsupial. And my fetus decided to climb out of me underdeveloped and then finish growing in an exterior pouch. Well, that's kind of what happened, and that's kind of what happens to premature human babies all over the dang world. Now " Kangaroo Care. My view during Kangaroo Care. Apparently my body knows what to do as well as the baby's b...

Really Important Things:: December 2011
http://kellyjeanwalden.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Saturday, December 10, 2011. My History with Live Rodents. Until 2006, I believed rodents only lived on farms and in dingy New York apartments. Abey Cat debunked that myth with the thoughtful prezzy of a live mouse. One lovely summer afternoon, he strutted through our open door, rodent in mouth. He interpreted my scream as, "Oh, obviously Kelly wants this in her room," and he trotted upstairs to liberate the rodent there. Last week, I...

Really Important Things:: Life Things
http://kellyjeanwalden.blogspot.com/2011/10/life-things.html
Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. You know how I know I'm adult? I almost went to Fred Meyer to buy files. Files! I also had an ulterior motive to invest in fancy apples. Drew once harassed me about the cost of my favorite apples [ Sweet Tango. This file mania stems from three situations, two major and one minor. Major #1: We are going to leave redfin.com. OMG capitalism. Anyway, paperwork like "whoa.". Major #2: I officially changed my name.

I was 30 weeks, 6 days pregnant (out of 40 weeks, if you need some context). I was wearing my gray-striped t-shirt. Why not our spanking new Subaru Outback? Note: I had to confer with ...

Really Important Things:: How the gal grows
http://kellyjeanwalden.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-gal-grows.html
Treats, Slippers, Book Club, Don Draper, Harper Dog, Spousehood, Beer. Monday, July 7, 2014. How the gal grows. Phoebe is experiencing her third trimester outside of the womb. That's so bizarre. Like, the things she's doing are about the same as she'd be doing if she were in my belly, minus all the wires she's hooked up to. And the breathing. And the occasional bleating like a goat. Awake, wired up, and cone-headed! So let's say I'm exposed to some li'l virus at 1:00 PM. By 2:00 PM, my body has figur...
