A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Saturday, March 28, 2015. What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Cradle Ruffle! So I am officially at 41 weeks today. I'm hoping to go into labor today or tomorrow, otherwise (and even possibly then) I'll have some decisions to make on Monday. I thought I'd show one of the reasons I have multiple pregnancy tracking apps:. Look how BabyCenter tries to be comforting, even though I have -7 days to go! I don't sew, but really wanted a crib ruf...

(A)typical Vegan Family: April 2015
http://www.atypicalveganfamily.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. The Arrival of Wiggles. At the appointment, I had finally had a tiny bit of progress-only 1 cm, but it made me more hopeful. Obviously at that point we were headed to a Csection, but at least the doctor didn't rub it in my face like the doctor who delivered Toddles. He let me sit up and try to compose myself while I said "I guess we need to talk about timing.". Ultimately, we chose this hospital 1.5 hours from...

(A)typical Vegan Family: What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Rocket Toy Box!

A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Rocket Toy Box! I'm still really surprised that a doctor couldn't comprehend any reason why a mom would want to give birth the 'natural' way, even being a male. If *he* were the one to get pregnant after he and his wife conceived, wouldn't there be a sense of frustration? Having to have a surgery when you didn't want one? We made a rocket prop for Toddles' one year photo shoot...

(A)typical Vegan Family: What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Plush Robot!
http://www.atypicalveganfamily.com/2015/03/what-ive-been-up-to-nursery-projects_71.html
A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Sunday, March 22, 2015. What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Plush Robot! I wasn't planning this particular project. I had held onto a footy pajama that the dogs ate a hole in, and while I was clearing out a box of clothes that needed patching or trashing I found it. It wasn't fixable, but I decided to 'upcycle' it into a cute stuffed robot. I have Ginny Penny's shop. And decided to try it out. Turned all the pieces right side out. The o...

(A)typical Vegan Family: What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Rocket Rollercoaster Table!
http://www.atypicalveganfamily.com/2015/03/what-ive-been-up-to-nursery-projects_23.html
A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Monday, March 23, 2015. What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: Rocket Rollercoaster Table! This may only be tangentially a nursery project, since it will be a while before Wiggles can play with it, but whilst pinning lots of wonderful rocket themed things to my retro rocket room board, I came across this super cool rocket themed roller coaster table. She told me she'd look for some wood and start making rocket patterns. I ran into problems...

(A)typical Vegan Family: May 2014
http://www.atypicalveganfamily.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Earlier this month, I threw a party for my 30th birthday. I had read about someone throwing a 'Nerdy 30' party on one of my favorite sites: Offbeat Home. And I thought it was a fantastic idea. The idea stuck with me even though I was only 27 at the time. (Perhaps I should have started planning a bit earlier, but I had other things on my plate then! I thought the overall effect of the room was wonderful! These biohazar...

(A)typical Vegan Family: What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: "Sons" Sign!
http://www.atypicalveganfamily.com/2015/04/what-ive-been-up-to-nursery-projects.html
A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. What I've Been Up To: Nursery Projects: "Sons" Sign! So, here is the last nursery craft update. I thought it would be cute to have some nursery wall art like those vinyl inspirational quotes, involving a pun on son/sun for our space theme. I thought surely it was obvious and must exist, like the 'No Wake Zone' signs for nautical nurseries. When I couldn't find anything I decided to make it myself. By the time I rea...

(A)typical Vegan Family: February 2014
http://www.atypicalveganfamily.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A chronicle of all the ways we are and are not a typical family. Friday, February 14, 2014. Toddlesworth's Tuesday: The Terrifying Tunes of Toddlesworth. Toddlesworth's love of all things zombie and monster continues to grow. He will often insist that we zombify/monsterify things, and lately that has extended to his lullabies. He currently has several that he will ask for. Based on "five little monkeys jumping on the bed" Lord Covington and I each made up a version on alternating nights putting him to bed.
