Week 30: Holy cow (or other revered farm animal)!
29 weeks. So someone in my online expecting club with my due date had her baby today. Apparently the little guy is over 3 lbs. and is breathing on his own in the NICU and doing very well, but yikes. … Continue reading
Week 28: Only one thing I’ve ever flunked…
27 weeks, 2 days. There’s apparently still only one thing I’ve ever outright flunked (3rd grade handwriting), and it was not my gestational diabetes test yesterday Woo hoo! Given that I’m huge, the baby’s measuring a little big, and I … Continue reading
Week 26: Totally useless
25 weeks, 3 days. Everyone’s body has a different way of telling them they’ve overdone it. So far, my pregnant body has done this by making me 1) want to pass out from exhaustion, and 2) making me hurt all … Continue reading
Week 23: You’re such a pain in the… the… round ligaments!

Week 19: Ugh. Feelin’ yucky.
18 weeks, 4 days. Well, in good news, I’ve gotten a lot done the last couple of days. This house may finally come together sooner rather than later (tonight I’m working on my study – we’ll see how that goes…), … Continue reading

Week 16: Death to lawn mowers!
15 weeks, 1 day. So I have allergies. Bad allergies. Trees, grass, pollen, dust… Bad, bad allergies. The way I remember it, right around the time my grandmother died of terminal cancer (I was 4 or 5), my mother told … Continue reading
Week 15: Och… My achin’ back!
14 weeks, 5 days. So aside from having been exhausted after my start-of-the-week cleaning, there’s another casualty – my lower back. Lower back pain is pretty common among pregnant women, especially since your body releases relaxin, a hormone which, among … Continue reading
