I can't believe we missed zucchini! Vegetables notwithstanding, the Anderson eyebrows have taken root.

Lisa: What's in a name?

Blake's cousins Grant (8 years old) and Gillian (6) didn't seem too keen on the name Nora. They suggested Epona and Hannah Montana, respectively. I told Gillian we had considered "That's So Raven Smith," but ultimately decided it was too long. I don't think she believed me.

Lisa: Remind me--why don't we live in Canada?

"Working moms get a yearlong leave after they have a baby, and receive 55 percent of their salary during that year. This is a government benefit, and women are entitled to the same job or a comparable one when their leave is over. Many companies supplement this benefit with additional dollars during maternity leave."

Just as my skin is getting too small, Nora's is all wrinkly and too big. Typical.

The good news: Our foot-long baby totally won't be fazed by my loud singing.

The bad news: I think I have sciatic nerve pain. It hurts to walk. I'm going to try prenatal massage, a heating pad, and prenatal yoga. Any other ideas?
