Halfway down the Danube

Reading material

Not yet added to our blogroll (because we're not using blogger or blogspot but MT and do much of our coding ourselves), but a few blogs that we are reading on a regular basis now and would like to recommend.

Apt. 11D has moved -- Laura now lives in the suburbs in a veritable house and therefore got rid of the "Apt." in her blog name. It stays a very good blog, though, so update your bookmarks and check it out regularly.

Bad Mama is a spanky new blog by Carrie from (and in) Wisconsin. She's a good writer, so read.

The blogs I read mostly these days are, of course, about miscarriage, stillbirth, and other cheerful topics. It helps to read about others going through the same and it scares the sh*t out of me to read how many are going through the same. However, some of those blogs are written by incredibly smart, courageous, kick-ass women. So if you can stomach the naked truth, I would like to recommend the following:

A little pregnant, with hilarious articles about what happens to your body when you actually do manage to get pregnant;

Indigo Girl, who is required reading in these circles;

Chez Miscarriage by "a DES daughter, one of the thousands of women exposed to diethylstilbestrol while in their mothers' wombs." I'm not a DES daugher, but this blog is still wonderful reading. An eye-opener;

Last, not least, Julia.

If you're not at all into these things (which I can understand, really), I'm also reading Matthew Yglesias whom I find amusing.

'kay. Enough suggestions for today.
