But, having something -- like a blog -- and... http://www.irish-girl.com/archives/000807.html We did it! Aw, yeah...we reserved our very own Smart car. My lease is up in September of this year, though, and Smart won't be here until March '08. What's a girl to do?!... http://www.irish-girl.com/archives/000806.html Last night, after her bath, Trixie and I went to her room while Jeremy went downstairs to get her diapers out of the dryer (futher evidence of our hippie-hood: cloth diapers!). I jokingly yelled to Jeremy that he better bring... http://www.irish-girl.com/archives/000805.html Jeremy has this habit of lecturing Trixie whenever she starts doing something she shouldn't be doing.

But our... http://www.irish-girl.com/archives/000802.html Dear Trixie, A year ago today, I woke up at about 2:30am feeling weird. Looking back, I feel like I knew immediately that I was in labor, but that might just be how I remember it now. I went into... http://www.irish-girl.com/archives/000801.html Funny how much less of a deal my birthday is now that I have a kid (not to mention a kid whose birthday is two days after mine).
