It is quite possible that Dr. O’C will kill me for this one, but I think this is the perfect illustration of this pregnancy.
I know for a fact that Dr. O’C and I have differing opinions on this, but for me it has just run away. We’re in the home stretch now and I don’t [...]

And where the hell do the days go? There’s another one sneaking away.
Got on this morn’ and I’ll be there by morning light
Reason #7,184 I love being a father:
A caboose in my lunch bag.
A tiny red wooden reminder of a little boy who just lights up my days. It was probably just the random dispersal of toys that makes our house a fairly constant mine field for those brave enough to venture barefoot but I’m choosing to [...]
And that’s how I ‘came your humble narrator, to be living so easy and free
I’m all over the place today – it’s getting to that time of the year when my two jobs converge, meaning that I have two play two roles in an equally half-assed manner. In my role as lecturer, I had to cancel a practical this morning because we couldn’t find any human DNA to use. [...]
Late evenings by the fire with little kicks inside her
I missed an important date a couple of weeks ago. Not really surprising as it’s not an official anniversary of anything. But in the scope of what I want to talk about today, it’s an important one. Eight years ago this month, on a frigid mid-Missouri winter night, I met Dr. O’C for the first [...]
This Week on the (Dr.) OC: No joy but lacks salt
I know that I’m about as far from objective as I am from my homeland, but this week’s installment of Dr. O’C’s recounting of pregnancy and childbirth struck me to the quick. I’m not one to be quoting poetry, but her post this week made me think of a Robert Frost poem that I must have read [...]
This Week on the (Dr.) OC: In praise of needles
With Dr. O’C returning to the ranks of the employed in a few weeks, this feature is likely short-lived. Maybe if we talk real nice to her she’ll continue – or at least get Baby Z born…

Chris and I had convinced ourselves that the baby was going to be late, so when my [...]
This Week on the (Dr) O’C: Knocked Up
The normally reserved Dr. O’C speaks. This week, pregnancy…
So I am pregnant. Without wanting to be. I spend the next two weeks traveling around the U.S. for work. I get back on a Wednesday, am expected in London for a meeting first thing Thursday, get out of bed, throw up, miss the train, go back to bed and spend [...]
This week, on The (Dr.) OC
For some time now a number of you, have been asking to hear more from the elusive Dr. O’C. She pops into the comment stream now and again with a clever commentary. But, she’s been a bit reluctant to seriously put pen to paper (or fingertip to key), primarily because she’s rankled by my titular [...]

” A baby on the way’s a good enough reason to get you out aliveGet you out without having to swallow any pride.”-The Drive-by Truckers – “Marry Me”Cold north wind out of the highlands of Scotland (yes, it’s still August) has got me contemplative today. Last night was our last antenatal class. I’ve learned pretty [...]
