36 Weeks: What I Know Now

What’s that? You’ve seen this outfit before? Tough nookies – it’s what fits today.
33 weeks: Got my first kick in the ribs
We took our birthing class, only to find we were the only ones in the class. Just me, my hubby, and the lady who kept saying “cervix” {shudder}.
When asked if my husband was gonna [...]

32 Weeks: What I Know Now

2 months to go!
Sleep is not happening. It’s hitting number one on my list because I was thrown awake by a charlie horse in both my calf and shin at the same time this morning.
I can only lay on my left side. If I spend more than three seconds on my right side or my [...]

Does This Baby Make My Butt Look Big?

NVM, don’t answer that… {10 weeks to go!}

I finally decided on a stroller this weekend. That was about as painless as a good body waxing. I could never find any ONE stroller that did all the things that I wanted it to. And to clarify, I am only GUESSING as to what I’m going to [...]

28 Weeks: What I Know Now

I am deathly sick with a cold in this picture… if I looked at the camera, you would have thought I was dead.
We’re officially in our third trimester. I am starting to feel like this takes f o r e v e r.
I’m noticing the extra weight making its way to the bottom half [...]

Dizzy

I don’t often get sick, but I do get a case of the dizzies every couple of weeks. On Saturday, I was dizzy all day. It occurs to me that on such days I should stay away from people and sharp objects, and probably just stay home {same goes for an emotional day}. Not 5 [...]

20 Weeks: What I Know Now

All my pants shrunk
The popular ‘Kids Meal’ will heretofor be called the “Kids/Prego Meal”. I crave cheese, and kids know how to do cheese right: grilled cheese, mac ‘n cheese, quesadillas…
3 of my good friends are pregnant which is more than awesome. I lent my pre-pregnancy pants to one of my friends so she can [...]

{ohbaby} Shower

Because she lives in Chicago, we haven’t actually “met”, but Jessica and I have talked on the phone and emailed frequently. She is the mastermind behind many of my favorite pieces of jewelry, JessLC.com, and we all love her Make Under My Life blog.
Thank you Jess for the ohbaby shower!
Many of you have left comments [...]

16 weeks… What I Know Now

I didn’t appreciate that little waist when I had it. I’ll never do that again.
My computer was buggin’ out the other day and I couldn’t figure it out. Until I noticed my gut was resting on the space bar.
Still haven’t *tooted* in front of my husband! Is there an award for this somewhere? Can I [...]

My First Hormonal Breakdown

The morning started out a little rocky on Saturday. As I was flipping through my Better Homes cookbook to make some breakfast, a wave of heat/chills/nausea came over me. I had to lay down and choke down an apple to get through it.
Later that day, when I was feeling better, my hubby and I went [...]

Show Me What You’re Workin’ With

So, we won’t know if it’s a boy or a girl until our appointment on Nov. 10th. Ug – is that not SO far away? I’ve got curtains to sew! :) Apparently we can find out in 2 weeks if we go to the 3D ultrasound place… but I’m getting mixed reviews from people on [...]
