The warning signs... 1. When boss entered the office today, his eyes immediately glanced over my belly. He tried to quickly return his eyes to my face but it was too late. I said, "Stop checking out my belly every time you come in the office!" He replied,

When pregnant, unfortunately your life is consumed with everything baby. Well, maybe not " unfortunately " depending on to whom you're talking. For me, it's a little overwhelming. I love to chat and learn and discuss...but no one wants to talk about anything

My lord are people obsessed with pregnant women! I've never been given so much attention in all my life, not even on my wedding day, as I do now that I'm quite obviously pregnant. I went to one of Chris's cousin's bridal showers this Saturday, but I think

The Nest sucks! Nest People, find the blog I typed out and clicked to publish, which you supposedly did, and show it! Don't eat it, it's not yummy! What did I say? Hmm. Something about going to Vermont now, based on Lipp's comment. Darn Nest!

Lipp82, after reading your comment, holy bejesus I need to figure out how far Vermont is from Dayton! I always wanted to go there anyway (seriously, me and Ben and Jerry, we have a relationship - in my precious sugar-induced mind) and with two free pints

This is the third blog I've tried to write today. I click Publish, it shows me the blog is published, but it never shows up on my blog page or on the main blog page. What's up with this? Am I on a Nest Lock Down?

Would it be inappropriate to eat Ben & Jerry's every single day until BoLi pops out? (side note: BoLi is Boston Liam's quick reference for blogging...thanks Jade!) See, last night I went to Ben & Jerry's (yes, we have a Ben & Jerry's ice cream

I finally sucked it up and checked out the hospital's website to look into childbirth classes. I was very against taking a class - not that I felt too good for one, but I helped my sister deliver two children vaginally and one by c-section, so I can't

I apologize in advance if you are a smoker and nothing like the people I mention. My mom is a smoker. She smoked when she was pregnant. She regularly smoked (without proper ventilation) when we were young, playing in the living room or watching television.

I only gained 2 pounds in the last month! Woo Hoo! This is a really big deal because my doctor told me I was gaining way too much weight, but I was being so good exercising and eating pretty well (minus those cupcakes from this weekend). Apparently the

1. I watched my sister's four kids this weekend. The oldest is a 14 year old boy, next is a 10 year old girl, then a 7 year old boy, and the youngest is a 4 year old boy. They spend the night every once in awhile, but this particular time I learned two

...you are eating grapes and drop one, and it doesn't roll down the front of your body and land in your lap like it should, but rather it drops right on top of your breasts and doesn't bounce off or roll down because there is a mountain of space to grab

It's really funny to think about it, but I guess I am a little terrifying to the girl who has never been pregnant. I suffered from bad pregnancy sickness, I swell like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters, I've put on a shit-ton of weight even

I took the advice and looked up Crocs online, thinking maybe I'd find a cute pair. And yes, their selection has improved 100% and they actually have cute styles now (you will never see me in the original style which look like old lady gardening shoes

Here's the very short walk we took from the condo to the beach. Here's the Sanibel Island light house, although I'd hardly consider it a light house. It was more of a light tower. For some reason, I'm obsessed with photographing birds on the beach. The

I knew it, I knew my husband would be putting the nursery furniture together first chance he got. It's cute that he's so excited to have the baby's room done, but man, he's gotta be the worst listener ever. He and his cousin picked everything up from

Here we are, my friend Keri and I, on the plane. We were in the last row, and the turbulence was so bad the entire flight that they cancelled the beverage service. So feeling nauseous and not having any water to drink...bad combination. I felt really

I lied, I downloaded my Florida pics earlier than I said I would. My boss is out of town so I took advantage of the situation and did them at work. The first set of photos I'm posting...well, it's the feet and ankles while in Florida. I thought I'd get

This is really sad. I have a fabulous collection of shoes that I've gathered over the past ten years (yup, my feet remained a lovely 6.5 since high school) and none of them fit anymore! Even the two new pair of shoes I bought in a whole size bigger than

Whoops, I mentioned the baby's name in my last blog before realizing I never even told you guys what it is going to be. So our baby's name will be Boston Liam. Boston is my maiden name and something we both feel is a fun, suitable name for a first born

I'm back from Florida! My friend and I had a great time. We spent hours and hours at the beach, collected shells, swam in the pool, and rested. It was awesome. I probably won't post any photos (and yes, I rocked out my bikini and I'm not going to lie

I'll certainly read all the posts I missed while I was gone as soon as I get back. Have a great week and I'll be back on The Nest this Sunday or Monday.

Last night Chris randomly said, "I am so excited to have this baby." It was really sweet and came out of nowhere (he was watching Memphis and Kansas in the NCAA championship game). Then he followed it with words that broke my heart. He said, "I just wish

This Wednesday at 7 am, my best friend and I are headed to Sanibel Island. It was a last minute decision to fly down there and stay in her stepmom's condo. We just have to pay to fly down and rent a car...so only $340 for my trip. I bought two bikinis

The good and the bad of my new maternity water aerobics class (2 days a week for 14 weeks at my gym): 1. Being in the water feels amazing. 2. Being in the water when it's about 20 degrees too cold is not so fun. 3. All that water swishing around makes

All of us who post on here, ever notice you may get a few people commenting to your blog entry but there are like 120 people who actually read your post? Where are those people? I want to know who you are, those reading the blogs but never commenting

People who are pregnant - and suffering from water retention, weight gain, nausea, and exhaustion - do NOT want to hear how amazing YOUR pregnancy was. I promise you! This woman at work yesterday asked me how I was feeling. I told her that it's weird,

Heavens no! Pregnant women don't exercise, they sit on the couch all day eating ice cream while watching Dr. Phil! At least that's what everyone must think judging by the stares I received while working out at the gym last night. I've been exercising
