Everything Ultrasound

Posted Wednesday, March 26, 2008 4:29 PM

It's a very cool experience. I'm not going to lie and say it made the pregnancy more real for me, but it definitely affected me. I posted photos in my bio, by the way, so check them out if you feel like it. First of all, what you see when someone shows

Why my Parenting License should be revoked:

Posted Wednesday, March 26, 2008 1:28 PM

I am so terrible and I shouldn't be allowed to parent a child after this! I left with my cousin for the doctor's office yesterday, saying bye to my pups before heading out. It wasn't until about 3 hours later that I suddenly realized that when I said

No mistaking it!

Posted Tuesday, March 25, 2008 5:47 PM

It's a boy! I'm shocked because I think I was expecting to hear girl, even though I didn't have any intuitions one way or another. I'll write more later and post an ultrasound pic. Let me tell you, he has the biggest penis I've ever seen (no offense to

Trust me, they will eventually clean

Posted Monday, March 24, 2008 2:37 PM

I'm not sure what most of your husbands are like. Mine likes things clean and straightened up, but he doesn't like to really get down and dirty with his cleaning. He will pick things up and put them where they belong (or where he thinks they belong) but

Now, not to scare you or anything...

...but this is what's happening to me...CANKLES! If you aren't sure what regular ankles should look like, pop off your shoes and socks and take a look at your own lovely, slender ankles. Then check out mine. These photos are from three different occasions.

What a PRINCESS!

Posted Wednesday, March 19, 2008 2:47 PM

I have two pups. They are so freaking cute! Below is Zelda, she's 3. She's sitting in front of the space heater, her absolute favorite spot in the winter, watching TV. Next is Ireland, she's about to turn 2. She has grass all over her face from playing

For being the best wife ever...

Posted Tuesday, March 18, 2008 2:06 PM

I'm carrying our child. That has to be the greatest thing I've done as his wife to date (until I deliver our child). That should warrant the sending of flowers, right? It was a tiny bit of a roller coaster ride to get pregnant, involving lots of blood

Patty's vs. Paddy's?

Posted Monday, March 17, 2008 2:56 PM

I would always write St. Patty's Day if I abbreviated it. But I looked it up on Wikipedia just to be sure (the writer in me) and it said the abbreviation is Paddy. So I used Paddy so I didn't look retarded to any of you Irish folk. But then most of you

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Posted Monday, March 17, 2008 11:02 AM

I'm not wearing green. I'm not Irish. I don't understand everyone's fascination with St. Patrick's Day, to be honest. If you're super into drinking or own a bar, I kinda get it. If you're of Irish decent, I get it. Other than that, I can't believe how

It's getting out of hand, people!

Posted Thursday, March 13, 2008 12:48 PM

I get that with time, things become easier. Well, for the most part. Sure our parents didn't have safety locks for kitchen cabinets and life is much easier for mothers of toddlers now that they exist. It's cool that they make swaddling blankets that make

Totally forgot...I so still got a ring!

Posted Wednesday, March 12, 2008 11:01 AM

Above is the picture from the website. Below is the ring on my finger, taken with my cell phone. It's a Peridot, which is my birth stone. This is the first piece of jewelry I've ever owned in my birth stone, and ironically Peridot will be our baby's birth

"Fritos" - a quick grocery store tale

Posted Wednesday, March 12, 2008 10:24 AM

Ever step outside yourself and do something you'd never in a million years do if you were "inside" yourself? Apparently, I do. I went grocery shopping on Monday. I actually enjoy grocery shopping immensely. I spend nearly an hour in there every time I

An anniversary!

Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008 11:29 AM

It's not the anniversary of our wedding date, but today is the only day my husband and I "celebrate" together. Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day my husband proposed. I never thought that proposal date would become our special day, but it just sort

It's snowing! Oh, and maternity pants.

Posted Friday, March 07, 2008 2:20 PM

It's like a bizzard here. I'm stuck at work and by the time I leave, I'm sure the snow will have drowned my car and I'll have to stand in the freezing cold brushing all of it off my car. I am so spoiled because my husband always cleans my car off first

Round Ligament Pain. Got anything else for me?

Posted Thursday, March 06, 2008 11:28 AM

I have round ligament pain. My doctor said that for some women, it can be intensely painful. And she said my discomfort lasted longer than it should, so she prescribed me a pain reliever for when it happens again. There isn't much I can do other than

Grr...off to the doctor's office...again

Posted Wednesday, March 05, 2008 10:32 AM

As if the monthly appointments aren't a big enough pain in the rear. Yes I know, as I get further along it will be every two weeks, and then every week. I dread that time, believe me. It's not like it's convenient to get off work, drive to the office,
