I still haven’t taken a recent belly pic, and I am WAY behind on posting a Book of the Month, but I’m busy, People! I mean, it takes a lot of time to sit in my cozy red living room chair and brainstorm my Christmas List. And so, I will get back to you a [...]

It’s written all over the internet and in countless pregnancy books that mood swings are a part of the mix when it comes to growing a human, and so IT MUST BE TRUE. But what I’m wondering is, does this mean that just because these sources say these things happen…that the husband is free from [...]

Dear God,

I don’t know who is on the other end, but when they go down, I am up. Things I can see from UP:
-There is a baby on the way, and Tony and I saw her at an impromptu ultrasound because the doctor didn’t have any patients after us. We saw her move and kick, and she is [...]

First, I just want to say Thank You for all the support in my last post! It’s still a rough road, but it feels better knowing I have so many people rooting for me. And also, my mom came over and CLEANED OUR APARTMENT this weekend! I hope I will be as awesome as she [...]
From here on out, I’m blaming everything on the baby

I went to lunch yesterday at one of the restaurants here at work, and as I was walking to an empty table, I heard a woman clearing her throat. And then I heard her cough up phlegm and spit it into her napkin. Yes, I said phlegm. I tried to move past this in my brain [...]

From Baby Center:
This week’s major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you’ll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you’d find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby’s eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are [...]

I didn’t really believe that I was pregnant (hence, the numerous home pregnancy tests) until a couple days ago when I was sitting at work and my bra decided to slowly stab my breasts. You’d think I would be embarrassed when people would walk by my desk and I was tugging, pulling and maneuvering my [...]
