I have to admit that on the side you can&#8217;t see in the picture, it&#8217;s not quite even. But since most of the time, her hair [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=storyengineer.wordpress.com&blog=271791&post=797&subd=storyengineer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t start taking pictures of my belly when I was pregnant with Rachel until I was 5 months along. Now that I&#8217;m that far along with Joseph, I thought it would be fun to do a comparison of the two pregnancies. It&#8217;s interesting to see that though I&#8217;m getting bigger earlier, the rate of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=storyengineer.wordpress.com&blog=271791&post=790&subd=storyengineer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When e-readers first came out, I thought that I would never want one. Curling up with a paper book is so much more comforting than curling up with an electronic device. They seemed to be so expensive too. But then Daniel started calculating how much we could save by switching our newspaper subscription to the Kindle [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=storyengineer.wordpress.com&blog=271791&post=784&subd=storyengineer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As for the novel itself, I&#8217;m [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=storyengineer.wordpress.com&blog=271791&post=782&subd=storyengineer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When I tell her to come here, or to stop doing something, she&#8217;ll give me a mischievous grin and keep going. Then when I physically stop her, she&#8217;ll do a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=storyengineer.wordpress.com&blog=271791&post=778&subd=storyengineer&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The most predictable time for movement is in the evening, and the next most predictable is after lunch.
