Placenta Brain: Revisited

My friend’s daughters stayed with me last night and I swear to you…at one point in time? I forgot they were here! That either says a lot about their silence while they hung out watching TV in LilZ’s room, or it says even more about how I am a complete moron. I actually opened the door to LilZ’s room and did a double take when I saw the kids in there. Like,... Read More

This is probably one of the MANY things only I find funny

Once Upon a Time…I went to the OB for my weekly cervix check and he diagnosed me as having a double ear infection. Can you do the math on that one? I mean, I’m not doctor but… (Hee.) But seriously! I told him my ears were hurting because I was there and he had the Rx pad in his pocket and I figured if he could, he would just prescribe me an antibiotic and I’d... Read More

Wit’s End

I edited the crap out of the photos we took of NikkiZ painting my belly this weekend. (Dear P-Dub, can you make an “Unpregnant” action next time? None of the actions you made with the last batch seem to help remove my giant stomach and stretch marks.) I know most women hate their appearance when they’re pregnant, so I’m sure you can relate. BUT – I... Read More

I Love Being Pregnant

My OBGYN’s office has a nurse’s station that surrounds the two bathrooms used by patients to deliver samples through the windows. In other words, these bathrooms are pretty monitored. Which is why I shouldn’t have spent 10 minutes trying to lock the door when giving my own sample yesterday. BUT – I have an extreme fear of being walked in on while peeing.... Read More

Because Being Pregnant Isn’t Awesome Enough

I’ve had some weird issues lately. There was the painful and torturous coughing phase from a few weeks back. There have been allergies worse than I’ve ever known. There has been strange abdomen injuries and glorious leg cramps. But the best? Is this. The bizarre incident with my eye. I think there’s something stuck under the lid but no amount of flushing or drops... Read More

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's 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 don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. 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.
