Exactly one year ago today, on November 26, 2008, I lost my first pregnancy, my first chance to be a Mommy.
I was devastated, disillusioned, convinced that God and the world was against me.
What a difference a year makes.
Today, I gave birth to a beautiful wonderful blessing, and became a Mommy.
I am in awe, I am [...]

39 weeks 4 days.
My aunt(my father’s sister) had a stroke. It seems that she had the stroke on Saturday, but no one knew. The only reason she’s in the hospital right now is that when no one could reach her by phone, her daughter sent the cops to her house. They found her on the floor of her [...]

39 weeks
We take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about vampires and werewolves.
I’m talking about the Twilight saga. New Moon came out today.
Yes, I’m one of those. I LOVED the books. Therefore, like Harry Potter, I am duty bound to see the movies to see how bad they messed it up.
I was pleasantly surprised [...]

38 weeks 5 days
Nothing new to report.
I went in for my weekly fly by:
Cervix: 1 1/2 centimeters this week. Yeah whatever. Could just be the difference in midwives.
Only thing was she couldn’t feel the head this week( are you freaking kidding me?) so they did a quick “where is his head ultrasound.”
It’s down.
And it’s huge.
Even though they didn’t [...]

bills bills bills
If I wasn’t pregnant, I would hate my life right now.
The same nasty bill collector called today. AGAIN. Sometimes, if I don’t answer my phone, they call 4 times in one hour. I decided to answer today, so they wouldn’t call anymore this week.(we can hope)
Last time, I got a fairly sympathetic bill collector lady.
This [...]

Breastpump Mania!
My breast pump arrived!!!!!
I decided early on that I would need one because I would be going back to work and wanted Baby Dub to have the benefit of breast milk. It’s even more important to me now because :
I am going back to work earlier than expected.
In this economy, who can afford formula?( even though [...]

17 days until D day……..
Ok, I’ve been trying to post, and really have nothing to say.
I have my weekly OB checkup tomorrow.
I’ve been contracting and cramping and just generally uncomfortable all week.
I guess I’ll let them check me so I can see what(if anything) is going on.
I’m not getting my hopes up.

Just another Saturday.
Yes, well.
The shit hit the fan, and yesterday someone was very attentive, cleaned up the laundry room, did all the vacuuming, redid the flower bed, cleaned up the kitchen, didn’t leave any clothes anywhere besides said laundry room and provided dinner.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Moving on!
I went out yesterday and got nursing bras at motherhood maternity. I had completely forgotten about them [...]
