I know, I know, the post you’ve been waiting for… Our baby is a
BOY!
That’s right, another little man for me I am excited and Scott is excited. My Cassidy was a bit disappointed – she’d been campaigning hard for a sister. But the ultrasound tech gave her some “baby [...]
We had a prenatal appointment with our midwife last week which I didn’t write about. It was a pretty normal appointment; I’d gained 3lbs and everything looked pretty good. My midwife looked over my diet (which she said was very good, even with the occasional “treat”), and we talked about the older three [...]
I’ve always done a yoga routine while pregnant and I’ve really enjoyed it. But I was never able to take a class. This time around I really wanted to do something, but I didn’t know that I wanted a prenatal yoga class. I’ve done the same routine with all my kids and [...]
Well we had a really great weekend this past weekend, and it was made even better in the evening yesterday. Not only did we spend the time with friends, but I felt the baby move more than I have ever felt! Yesterday morning I felt the baby from the outside for the first time, just [...]
I have a headache that will not quit. For DAYS it has been going on. I’m really really tired again. I have a client that I am trying to do some things for and it is taking all of my work time up. The weather keeps going back and forth from warm to cold over [...]
I’ve been having a hard time the past few days and so I haven’t really written. Ironically I’ve felt more rested than I have in weeks, and my nausea is pretty much gone. My stomach will turn if I see, smell, or think about something particularly unappealing to me but on the whole physically I’m [...]
I know some people don’t like the term “baby bump” but I’ve never had a problem with it. I think it’s kind of cute, actually.
But today at the end of our quiet time (aka naptime) I was trying to feel exactly where my uterus is sitting. I can certainly feel it now when [...]
I know, interesting blog title The Braxton-Hicks is in there because I had my first, unmistakable Braxton-Hicks contraction today. Braxton-Hicks are the so-called “practice contractions” that help your body get ready for labor and birth. Uterine exercises, so to speak. They’re pretty normal, but can sometimes be brought on [...]
I really think that I should try to be thankful at any point in my life, no matter how tough it is. But during pregnancy I always find it a lot more important to be thankful. Or rather, maybe I remain more aware of thankfulness.
But you know that pregnancy is a time when it’s easy [...]
Well here I am thirteen weeks pregnant, and officially in my second trimester. We’ve heard the baby’s heartbeat and I’m trying to eat well. I’m still completely exhausted and pretty queasy a lot of the time. But spring is certainly here in our corner of the world and that makes me feel better. I can [...]
