Dinner! Carrots for Michaelmas, of course.
St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the Earth seeking the ruin of souls. Amen!

St Gabriel, pray for us!
St Raphael, pray for us!
St Michael, pray for us!

Anyway, that is all to say that Dorothy is outgrowing her Tummy pajamas. It isn’t a problem though, because I have obtained entirely different pajamas also depicting a pig eating ice cream! Yay!

Homebirth again shown to be safe – No new news dept: Homebirth is as safe or safer than hospital birth for low-risk pregnancies.

Why Are You Not Dead Yet? – Life expectancy has doubled in the last 150 years, and the reasons why are pretty interesting.
