End-Game in Sight!

Pregnancy Date: 39weeks 0 days. Feeling: Anxious and excited beyond words! Well, after a very disappointing appointment last Thursday, time in observation in L&D on Friday for a lethargic baby, followed by tormenting back pain all weekend after that,  today’s appointment was quite different. It seems that over the weekend my body has readied itself [...]

Registries Updated

Ok, so I’ve updated the registries to more  accurately reflect what we still need. There are a few toys, books and fun items left on there too, but we’re mostly in need of the essential type stuff~diapering, feeding, safety and layette items that are listed. Still shy on clothing for sizes between 3-9 mos, but [...]

30wk Check-up

Oh yeah, not much time (or energy) to spare on a full update. But, Doc was overall fairly pleased with my appointment. The biggest exception being he wants me to see yet another Doctor about my back before evaluating when he wants me to stop working. Have an appointment on Tuesday. Yay…another doctor ::eyeroll:: In [...]

Big Decisions:Bottles

I had a very difficult time nursing B and only lasted about 6 months. I am bound and determined to not make some of the same mistakes with Caelan as I did with him. Mind you, most of those mistakes were due to being a first time mom and  not having sufficient education and support. [...]

Yes, we’re alive

Pregnancy Date: 30 weeks! Feeling: somewhat hermit-ish after a long two weeks and a significant amount of pain. LOTS of Braxton Hicks, difficulty walking, Constant trips to the bathroom.
