Second Verse, Same As The First.

Yes. I'm coping with beer. I know this is not healthy.

Yes. I’m coping with beer. I know this is not healthy. Two interesting notes. 1) I’ve never had two consecutive baby-producing pregnancies. 2) I’ve written “We had a miscarriage” blog entries four times before “live baby check” appointments and ended up not needing them. The one time I didn’t do that because I was home with a sick... Read More

Why I Whine

I would just like to go on record saying that I was almost 8 weeks pregnant when I did this, and it was even doctor approved!

I would just like to go on record saying that I was almost 8 weeks pregnant when I did this, and it was even doctor approved! I’m not usually a whiner. I have my moments – for sure. But as a general personality trait, it’s not me. But lately? It’s all I do. Every time someone asks me how I’m doing I mention that I hate not being able to run or do boot... Read More

The fateful painting. Good thing I love it or I might throw it away. WARNING: This entry contains VERY MUCH TMI. If you’re not in the mood for that today, then I’ll give you the gist. We had a bad night Friday. Not sure if I’m still pregnant or not. Hopefully I’ll get to the doctor sometime today. Feel free to carry on and skip the rest of the entry. Now!... Read More

I’ll be okay no matter what. Because of you.

We still have a heartbeat! We also still have a bit of the subchorionic hematoma, so I’m still under watch/restriction until the next appointment in two weeks. But still! Heartbeat! That’s always a thing to celebrate. So we did. We told everyone we knew. (Except Nikki and Wes still.) Because we wanted them to all know our joy at heartbeat #2, and we all wanted them... Read More

First Time For Everything

The kids started Soccer this weekend. Two back-to-back games that were action packed! Wes did a great job in his first game and seems to really love just hustling like a madman. This is exactly opposite of me who rejoiced sitting on the sidelines goofing off with other kids. After the crazy day of Saturday, I was hoping for a good and peaceful night sleep Saturday night. HA!

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my website where I've been writing since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot - a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I have taken up long distance running as a hobby and chronicle that journey a lot here. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
