37weeks and still kicking

Pregnancy Date: 37w1d Feeling: Nervous, Sore, Anxious; Incredibly sleepy Wow, where does the time go? Too many weeks have passed since my last update and I apologized for that. Thank you to everyone who has called or emailed to check up on us. Yes, we’re still pregnant and, No, we’re not ready, lol! But, who [...]

Official 32w Update

Pregnancy Date: 32w4d Feeling: just general soreness so far today, trying to remember to stretch and walk around some to the evening isn’t so rough. Hungry…need to get off my butt and go eat lunch, even if I have to go all by myself (long story) Spent the day going to various appointments, guess I’ll [...]

Yes, I’m a Slacker

Pregnancy Date: 32w1d Feeling: Lame. I know I need to do a real update, but I’m exhausted and sore…and have several appointments in a couple days and will have more to say then. So, in the meantime, here’s a link to the preview of some pictures we were gifted to us as a baby present. [...]

27 Weeks!

Pregnancy Date: 27w0d wow…the Third Trimester O.o  Feeling: A little sore due to lots of activity this weekend, but other than that, FABULOUS. I LOVE Nexium! LOL 3 whole days heartburn free! Yay!  Lots going on, as usual. The biggest thing this weekend was Saturday at Fair and then, of course,  Mother’s Day. Scott and I [...]

26 Weeks! ♥

Pregnancy Date: 26 Weeks Feeling: I feel physically pretty good, until about 4:30 or so, then the abdomen strain is pretty exhausting. The heartburn is still intense with no end in sight & I’m a bit stressed. Back is ok today, yesterday was rough though.   Got a bunch done this morning. Scheduled appointment with the new [...]

25 Wks and Dr Updates!

Pregnancy Date: 25wk0d Feeling: Excited and Hopeful; mild acid reflux; back, overall, very good ; mild headaches; achy muscles; general clumsiness. I have SO much to talk about! I’ll knock it out by doctor appointment, that seems to be the most logical approach at this point. Dr. P on Thursday- No more Previa! I am [...]

What a weekend!

Pregnancy Date: 21w6d Feeling: Exhausted. Pushed my back a little far with all of the walking in stores, I think.  We took the opportunity of Scott having a full weekend off and having Brennan with us to get the in-store Registry stuff squared away. First thing though, we took Brennan to Toys R Us for their [...]

Busy Weekend

Pregnancy Date:  19w6d Feeling:  Pretty good for the most part. Some heartburn and Round Ligament Pain still; neck (3), low back (4) ♥ Got to talk to Brennan on Friday, he has enjoyed his Spring Break very much, camping and fishing, and playing with bugs, just like a boy should do. He’s going to be [...]

19wks & Household Happenings

Pregnancy Date:  19w0d Feeling: Aside from Allergies of Doom, pretty decent…mostly just tired and anxious. I’m pretty text book on symptoms at the moment, round ligament pain, problems sleeping, severe rhinitis, various muscle cramps. We’ve had some fun stuff going on too. Scott and I went and bought some Maternity clothes for me (finally) last week, [...]

Nursery Ideas (updated 6/10)

Doubt I’d use ALL of the stuff going on in the picture, but I REALLY dig the Compass rose on the ceiling of this nautical nursery. (src.) The original set of embroidery files I found seem to be unavailable. However, I did find a set that will work nicely  I just bought these to use with these to [...]
