...but not so much anymore. Last night I had a little pity party for myself after my water aerobics class. I decided that it's totally not fair that I have gestational diabetes because I feel like I've been crapped on this entire pregnancy. (I apologize

Growing a baby is no easy task. It sucks all your energy and changes you into this person you physically and mentally don't recognize and can't relate to. That said, I'm proud of myself for many reasons. I'm proud that I don't sweat the small stuff. I

I've decided Bigg Chubb should be my new nickname. With one extra G and one extra B just for extra emphasis. I'm that swollen, that full of cellulite, and that hungry. I survived the 3 hour glucose tolerance test, although it wasn't fun. My friend Dawn

1. When you're pregnant and growing more and more engorged as the time passes, you become quite clever at the whole sex thing. You try new positions, you find other forms of foreplay, and you laugh...a lot. 2. My preferences have changed. Shows I used

Brace yourselves for this doozie. We got a call while we were in Savannah that my husband's father was taken to the hospital and given a CAT scan that revealed he had a perforated colon. They said he didn't need surgery but kept him for a week to give

My husband is extremely private. He would literally kick my ass if he knew I'm about to post for all of you what he wrote to me in a card that he set out on the table for me to find when I got home from work yesterday. The card said, "See this hug? ...

I failed the one hour glucose test. I cried about it a little. So I saw my doctor this morning and set up the three hour test for this Saturday. I have to fast for 12 hours, go in at 8 am and have my blood drawn, then drink 100g of that sugar nastiness.

Ew, I'm back from vacation. We returned to a cold and wet Dayton on Wednesday night but both took off work Thursday and Friday to recoup, finally get our house in order, and catch up on sleep (not that we were lacking in the sleep department in Savannah).

We're leaving for Savannah tonight - it's our last trip before BoLi makes his grand appearance. I was so excited about this trip (we had to plan one within driving distance because I am not allowed to fly - doctor's orders - but the 12 hour drive is nothing

Tomorrow I start my third (and final - yikes) trimester. I posted some new photos (my "end of the second trimester" photos with my good professional photographer friend, my old boss) in my bio. If you have a minute, check them out. You have to scroll

I totally expected the worst and it wasn't bad at all! The drink was super sugary, but it still tasted just like a Sunkist. Just sweeter. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed any water at all after drinking it, so the sugary after taste was more annoying than

Is it even possible to have a drama-free shower? Okay...let's start from the beginning. I'm having two showers. The Boston shower (which is my dad's really large family) and the Mader shower (which is my MIL's family). There will be no Adams shower (which

In honor of our 2nd anniversary, I decided to dedicate a whole blog entry to what my husband has taught me about life, love, and men. 1. Jealousy will get you no where. I'm not a jealous person by nature, especially when it comes to relationships. The

So FINALLY I know my boy is mobile in there! My friend gave me an excellent piece of advice: she told me she rarely felt her son moving from the inside, but she could feel it with her hand if she touched her stomach on the outside. So while watching TV
