Let me just get this out of the way: Â at 32 weeks pregnant, I’m currently huge. Â Huge as in ginormous (is that even a word?). Â It’s funny, because I always wanted to be one of those cute little pregnant ladies that you see on TV or in the magazines. Â The cute little ladies who gain [...]

The other evening, after what seemed like my 100th day home due to illness (it was actually my seventh), I found myself restless. The CPA had come home and while I was glad to have company after a long day by myself, I was still restless. It was more than restlessness actually, it bordered on [...]

It started when I was about 15 weeks – this feeling in my stomach. Â I wasn’t sure what it was at first. Â It didn’t hurt, in fact, it tickled. Â It felt like little flutterings, like a butterfly flapping its wings. Â It would come and go at various times of the day and each time, it [...]

Since I’ve reached the halfway point in my pregnancy, the CPA and I have been trying to learn more about the whole birthing process.  As far as labor classes go, the one titled  How to Give Birth: 101 is the one that I would sign up for in a heartbeat.  Such a class would teach you all [...]

Remember how I’ve mentioned this little girl before, also known as my sister?  In fact, I’ve talked about her quite a bit here, here and here.  This same little girl who grew up to become this woman and later… the wife of this man. And now, in a few short months, she will also become a mother for [...]

Today is the 20 week mark, a.k.a., the “half way point.” Â In celebration of this momentous occasion I’ve taken some pictures of my thickening waistline. Â Let me just warn you: it’s not pretty. The good news is that I feel like I’ve finally popped. Â That’s how I’ve heard it described from others – it’s the time [...]

We had been waiting for this moment for weeks – the anatomy ultrasound. Â It was scheduled for Monday, the 14th, and it couldn’t come fast enough. Â But eventually the day did arrive and I’m happy to report that my mother (who flew in from Georgia just for the occasion) and my sister were also able [...]

I realize that by posting these pictures on the Internet, I will have officially lost all dignity. Â In fact, my husband walked in as I was writing this and asked, and I quote, “you’re not posting those, are you?” Â But the way I look at it, this blog has always been about my life, even [...]

I’m trying hard not to make this site all about the baby. Â The problem is, there’s not really much else going on right now and this whole pregnancy thing is taking most of my focus as of late. Â I will say this, though: the past two days have been vomit-free in our house and I [...]

Several weeks ago I had a dream. Â I remember it very clearly as it was the evening that we returned from our trip to New York. Â I don’t know whether it was because we were so tired from hours of driving or if my mind was just working overtime, but the dream was very vivid. In [...]
