Week 35: 24 hours and a lot of sleep later…
34 weeks, 3 days. I remember in college, when I realized that I could stay up for a couple of days and like, wouldn’t die. Then I remember grad school, where I realized that I just couldn’t do that anymore, … Continue reading
Week 35: Shhh… My mama is sleeping!
34 weeks, 2 days. Given how I’m sure in future I will be working carefully to make sure Small Monster can get his naps in without being interrupted by noisy people, I have decided that my Small Monster needs to … Continue reading
Week 35: 34 weeks, and all is well (still!)
34 weeks, 1 day. So this morning’s midwife appointment was uneventful – baby is still very big as far as they can tell from the outside. The fact that he’s consistently measuring big, and by about the same amount every … Continue reading
Week 35: Curse you, Dr. John Braxton Hicks!
34 weeks, part II. I’d just like to state for the record that I hate Braxton Hicks contractions – no, they don’t hurt or anything, they’re just distracting, and combined with the baby’s head on my bladder, they’re no fun. … Continue reading
Week 35: So much to do, so little time left…
34 weeks. Look at that again… 34 weeks. This baby is pretty darned close to fully-cooked, and I’d be lying if I didn’t mention that, pessimist that I am, I don’t think I ever thought we’d make it this far. … Continue reading

Week 34: Just because I haven’t posted this week…
33 weeks, 5 days. I’ve meant to post this week, seriously I have, but I’m been busy and tired and um… busy and tired. I’m nearly 8 months pregnant, people! Cut me some slack! The week started off busy and … Continue reading

Week 33: Lightswitch raves
32 weeks, 5 days. This one is for Mrs. Mustard, who missed out on The Cheat and Small Monster’s lightswitch rave at 4 this morning: Just goes to show you that pregnant women shouldn’t wear their non-maternity shirts and certainly … Continue reading
Week 33: Behind!
32 weeks, 4 days. No, the title does not refer to my behind, which, as always, is enormous. E-nor-mous. As Bridget Jones would put it, it is a bottom the size of Brazil (but, I should add, not as festive). … Continue reading
Week 33: Survived the weekend, and now, onward…
32 weeks, 1 day. It was one Hell of a weekend. Christian and I rented a car for a full 3-day weekend (usually we only rent one for a day) to get last minute baby and winter preparations done around … Continue reading
