Whew, we have a big week ahead of us. Not only do we have the baby shower, family and friends coming into town and a birthday bash in Delores Park to celebrate a certain alchi’s bday we all love, but now I am seriously considering not working much longer. This is in response to the most intense Braxton-Hicks to date that have been rendering me useless at my place of employment (on my feet a ton!!) So, the disability mark is just around the corner for me. There are good and bad things to say about this, for the bad the cut in pay which is about 50 percent…at least, is why Ive attempted to keep going to the very last possible moment. The good is of coarse that I will not have to deal with the frustration of not being able to keep jetting about like Im accustomed to doing pre prego days. I’ve grown a whole new sympathy for those whose minds are intact but their bodies are slowed down because of a disability. I see volunteer work in my future.

So, that being said. Moving on to the fun stuff, the baby shower. For those of you who did not receive an invitation via snails mails…and sorry for that, I did my very best to get them out timely and such but it has not been an easy feet, for many reasons. One including a death, the other a lost job…Don’t even get me started. All I can say is there were plane tickets for one and now lawyers involved for the other…..

The address is 1330 Guerrero St San Francisco Ca….Google maps are great for directions, Imma not so great at directions. (There, I am finally admitting it…) The party is at noon, we will be providing food and drinks, but welcome both to add to the festivities and family atmosphere….mmm potluck.

So thank you, and also thank you to Aunt Cindy for her input on the immunizations. We are for protecting the baby from horrible experiences like those you and your sister had to go through, and feel just splitting up the shots but not avoiding them all together is what we will opt to do.

Have a great day all. And take your vitamins.

Just for clarity we are registered at 3 different locations.

Today, Sunday April 13Th, was supposed to be dedicated to attending the BAHC Immunization Panel right here in the city. It occurs once a year and has not only representatives from the western medical arena, but also a range from eastern thought and in between. It has been an important area of study for us, the immunizing process. I personally feel less inclined to trust our medical system because of its roots in capitalism, the pharmaceutical companies interest in money oriented business even to the demise of the patients. There are so many examples of this in even child birthing I could drop an entire thesis right here. So, I am skeptical to shoot up our little johnny or mary on the way (not a real hint at our name choices…) with anything some half-interested practically politician accepting bribes md might suggest. And with the rise of autism, 1 in 150 children, my skepticism is not without merit, nor does it suggest Ive been san francisco-ed.

We are unable to attend, because of our need to pack before an emergency call out of town…So, besides our research, I wanted to open the discussion up with all of you. I know many people who are refraining from any immunizations, Im not sure I feel totally comfortable with that, considering part of Nick and my future plans definitely involve traveling out of the country. The panel I was hoping would shed light on what might be necessary and what is superfluous. I know that splitting up the mmr and waiting until the child is approx 4-5 years old before we administer them is crucial because of brain development. I guess I’m just trying to gather more information on the other key points.

Hi everyone. sorry if reading our blog had become a hobby and then we just suddenly disappeared! (ha ha)! Things are okay. Im getting huge. As I should, I am 31 weeks along now. Its another beautiful day here in San Francisco. No, really its sunny and 80 degrees. Ah, the benefits of global warming trends. I’m wearing shorts, a recent gift from a friend of mine from work who also gave me some other clothes and belly butter. I am so blessed to have only needed to purchase just a couple of maternity items, because of friends and family’s generosity. I can not thank all of you enough. I feel guilty that in the tradition of babies, there is a throwing of a party (baby shower) for the opportunity for everyone to contribute more. We himmed and hawed at whether we were indeed going to have one or not, and my girlfriend Heather in her somewhat traditional sensibilities said, of coarse you are, so we are. It is going to be May 4th, in the backyard of another girlfriend of ours house, Kelly Malone. We intend on a coed baby’s first party theme. I think the hardest part of becoming a parent for me is the cheese factor in baby showers and babies in general. So, there has been an earnest request on the part of mua to keep this to a minimum with the planning, and I now am informing all of you of my sentiments on cheese. I love to eat cheese, but the cutesy cheese of big stuffed animals and gaudy baby prints might throw me into a fit of first trimester stomach upsets, so please our motto is if, I as an adult would not consider adorning my tush with this, lets try to keep the respect equal for the little Homan on the way, the mystery gender creature that they are. So this I’m sure sounds snobby and obscure. But, we are of the organic minded, and have chosen a few key items on our registries ranging from 10 dollars to hundreds. There are three places to choose from, because everyone has different things to offer. I love the moby wrap and leggings on babycenter.com, and then theres the perfect stroller on babysruus.com and target.com has the dwell line, which is mod and stylish. All registries can be referenced by plugging in either Michelle Macis or Nicholas Homan and deliver month of June. We have the smallest apartment you could imagine, so…not so much space…..if you all have the means to contribute, please keep that in mind. I did not include albums or frames or things of that nature. Nor did I include art of any kind. I guess its because so many of my favorite people are artist…you know who you are, and your energy for the baby in that arena would be cherished for ever…..

Okay, bye for now.

and put on sunscreen.
