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 [...]
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.

First, I guess, with a bit of an explanation. I detested the woman who delivered my son. She ignored our most basic requests, spoke at us or around us and [...]
Pregnancy Date: 14w Feeling: well, aside from the bronchitis, just tired Just spent a ridiculous amount of time at the Cardiologist.
