Venting

I really don’ t mind when people ask me when I’m due, what I’m having, if I am excited etc.
What I DO mind, is people who know when my due date is saying…
“You’re how many weeks now? Wow, you’re huge!”
“Are you sure there is just one in there?”
“My God girl, you are huge!”
“Are you sure [...]

It’s all coming together!

Sooo, the massive amount of swelling went down after a few days.
THANK GOD!
No word yet on the results of the 1 hour glucose test.  Hmmmmm, why do I have the feeling I failed?
C-Dub started on the nursery this weekend.  He did one wall a day.
Wow.  How………….lazy.
He still has two walls to go.  He claims it [...]

26 weeks.

Ahhhhh, 26 weeks.
Nothing really different.  I just look like I have a basketball under my shirt now.  I thought that I would be much bigger by now.  Especially considering that I haven’t been exercising at all. But I am pleasantly surprised that all the weight seems to be going to my belly and my cheeks(the ones [...]

Random thoughts

Soooooo.
Nothing new.
Except Sciatica.
Hmmmmmmmm. 
Maybe I should try yoga??

Just random thoughts on a Wednesday evening.

The Ins and Outs of Viability

I am 24 weeks pregnant today, or 6 months exactly.  Time is flying!  I almost want time to slow down so that I can start savoring every moment of this pregnancy.  I fell feel like up until now, I have been walking on eggshells, waiting for the other shoe to drop. 
But this morning, I woke up [...]

Evening thoughts

Sometimes, I think being a nurse( working in Labor and Delivery and in a RE’s office has forever skewed my view on life/pregnancy. 
Even though I have been in L&D for the last 10 years and have seen just how wrong things can go, I never thought of it in terms of  me.   I never thought [...]
