document.write('&nbsp;Now that the holidays have come and gone and I&#39;ve had a chance to assess the post-Santa landscape here at Casa HickJu, I&#39;ve come to the conclusion that there are two gifts that came into our household this year that shine above all others. No, I am not talking about the Apple iTouch that 14-year-old J received, and that she loves like it&#39;s her long lost best friend with superpowers and a no-limit Visa card. Nor am I talking about the uber-practical Garmin GPS system for my car ...');

Since their birthday falls during school vacation week, and probably always will, this shall be their lot in life: late birthday cupcakes.

document.write('&nbsp;I am really, REALLY starting to feel fed up with the unrelenting, ass-kicking nausea and fatigue that have come with this pregnancy. I have never experienced anything like it in previous pregnancies, and honestly, it&#39;s pretty debilitating. I know that some women vomit so much in the first trimester that they end up hospitalized, and I am grateful that this is not my situation. I only actually toss my cookies a few times every 48 hours. But I feel like I am going to throw up at any seco...');
