38-year-old mom-to-be talking more about my pregnancy than is seemly, living in California with my husband and 1-1/2 cats. The "calm" thing... I should explain. I am notoriously not a calm person. I can find the most convoluted reasons to worry about the tiniest things. When my husband and I decided to start a family, he expressed... concern that pregnancy might be just a whole new barrel of things to worry about. No no no. I assured him. No worse than the usual amount. So when I started my pregnancy blog, "the calm before the stork," I took the name "calm mama" in a fit of optimism, irony, laughter at my own crazy self and anticipation of the adventure ahead. I presume that post-stork, life is only going to get even more interesting. And about that half-cat. That's Molly. She lives next door, but lets herself into our house whenever she likes for a nibble or a nap.
