Announcing Leo Quincy!

June 26, 2010

Leo turns two weeks old today and these last two weeks have been quite a roller coaster.
The second induction went smoothly and within a few hours, I was in labor. Thirty hours after I started getting contractions, Leo was born, weighing in at 4510 grams (almost 9 lbs, 15 oz).

I’ve been tagged by Swenglishexpat and American in Bad Homberg, so here goes.
1. My favorite sandwich when I was a kid was toasted peanut butter and Longhorn-Colby cheese. My favorite dinner was tuna casserole. Is that weird enough for ya?

I’ve got a question for ya

September 7, 2007

Okay, a little gross, but I need an answer and I hate speaking in German on the phone unless absolutely necessary, so I figured I’d ask here before calling random doctors offices for an answer.
What doctor do you see for an ingrown toenail?
In the US, I’d see a Podiatrist, which translates as Podologe, which seems [...]
