4 days down, 17 years and 361 days to go

Posted Thursday, July 31, 2008 7:49 PM

Thanks for all your comments...so sweet! He's a good baby so far. He finally picked up breastfeeding. At first he had a very short tolerance level for it and got frustrated really easily. But I was calm and determined and we finally are getting in the

Big Baby My Ass!

Posted Wednesday, July 30, 2008 6:34 PM

Thank god I wasn't induced due to baby size, I'd have been PISSED! He was only 5 lbs 14 ounces! What happened to all those ultrasounds, at two different facilities, that told me I was having a monster? Nope, I was induced early due to lack of amniotic

And this is how you give yourself a pedicure

Posted Tuesday, July 22, 2008 11:07 AM

When your belly is quite in the way, it's pretty hard to reach anything south of your hip bones. This includes your toenails. If you want a pretty paint job, either get a pedicure or have a friend do it (I'd avoid having your husband do it because the

Mucus Plug - gone

Not that losing it means anything, per se, but it's gone. Down with a flush.

I deserve a beer!

The CSN concert: It wasn't as hot as I expected it to be. In fact, there was a lovely breeze. I forgot a pillow so the bleachers weren't comfortable to sit on at all. My mom was a bit annoying, reliving her hippy years or something with her bobbing and

Oh yeah, I'm a lunatic

2:15 pm ... Internal #2 ... wish me luck. So I'm going to a concert tonight. An outdoor concert and it's currently 90 degrees. How did I get into this predicament at 9 months pregnant, you may wonder? Well, my lovely brother. My mom asked me months ago

I'm going to change the subject

Posted Wednesday, July 16, 2008 2:32 PM

Here's something new to discuss...get this funny story. I broke a cherry tree! I don't think I blogged about this, but clearly we all need to laugh so here goes. 4th of July, my aunt's house. They have a hammock that hangs between two cherry trees. Apparently

Ah, the schedule

Posted Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:51 AM

Think you're busy after having a baby...try before the baby comes, that's when it's madness. Every week day, work. Every Tuesday and Thursday, maternity water aerobics class. Tonight, childcare class. Next Wednesday, breastfeeding class. Friday, lunch

As Natalie Imbruglia would say, I'm "Torn"

Posted Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:29 AM

So there's the annoyance of being so huge, exhausted, winded, swollen, and so stretched beyond my skin's ability. There is also the irritation of checking my blood sugar 4 times a day, not fitting into any of my maternity clothes anymore, and being so

Home Field Chicken Skewers (recipe)

Posted Tuesday, July 15, 2008 11:08 AM

This recipe says it makes 36 skewers, but it didn't come close to 36 for me. I personally used larger chunks of chicken than they say, so that's why I didn't get 36. You might want to add more chicken breasts than the recipe calls for and cut the chunks

Wouldn't you just know it!

Posted Monday, July 14, 2008 4:23 PM

So I only have 2-3 weeks left of being pregnant, and I finally just today had a moment that truly made me enjoy the whole thing (you ladies would be so proud). I was at the hospital having a NST scan, and apparently BoLi didn't at all like that little

I'm an overachiever

Posted Friday, July 11, 2008 12:40 PM

In many ways, I'm an underachiever. I prefer to not excel at my job because I'm not really into moving up the ladder, I'm just into being a good associate who shows up every single day and gets the job done. I also allow things to slip by, like leaving

And Now I'm an Example

Posted Thursday, July 10, 2008 12:26 PM

Today at the doctor, she was inspecting my swelling (because it's hit a seriously painful level) and said, "You know, swelling can be so odd during pregnancy. I have this one patient who flew and it swelled her feet up so much. I'd never have believed

5 weeks became 4 weeks became 3 weeks

Posted Wednesday, July 09, 2008 3:07 PM

I am due August 12th. That's about 5 weeks away. Because I have GD, they are inducing me early. They originally said August 4th, which is close to 4 weeks away. Now growth ultrasounds have shown my child is growing quite rapidly (thanks GD) and could

As if this all matters

Posted Tuesday, July 08, 2008 12:29 PM

I was off work Friday due to the holiday and Monday due to too many scheduled doctor appointments, so I haven't been able to view my typical internet sites. I missed so much in the world of "not really important" entertainment news! Nicole Kidman (who

So really, be honest

Posted Wednesday, July 02, 2008 10:41 AM

I want the quiet Nesties to come out on this one too... Before you met your husband/fiancé/significant other (or even after you met him/her, who knows), did you think you were going to marry someone else? I had a boyfriend for 5 years before I met Chris.

Crying because of Jersey Girl

Posted Tuesday, July 01, 2008 10:59 AM

And not because I think that movie sucked so bad. Actually I like it, despite its horrible reviews and "Bennifer" plaguing. Nope, pregnancy hormones struck. I flipped on the TV while eating lunch on Saturday and Jersey Girl was on. Unfortunately for me,
