Just How Geeky Do Moms Get?
Before there was Excel or iCal, there was this thing called a pencil and you could draw a hand-made graph of your basal body temperature. This is helpful information to have when trying to conceive. Here is the graph Allison saved when they were trying to conceive their daughter. (Hi Lindsay, you weren't just planned, you were plotted!)
Allison's anecdote on the memory attached to this graph, "The best part though is that I flipped it over and on the back was a draft of a love note to my husband after we had become pregnant with "Orsen" telling him how happy I was with our life and how excited I was about the upcoming adventure. Lindsay's nick name in the womb was Orsen because of a joke by Dave Barry where he said, "Women who are pregnant often mention that they're eating for two, but they don't realize the other person is not the size of Orsen Wells."
