I have never before locked my keys in my trunk. But I do lots of stupid things while pregnant so at least I'm aware that dumb moments can occur at any time. I stopped by Target on my lunch break and was loading the bags in my trunk. For some reason I

We decided after speaking with my mom's best friend, a NICU nurse, that the amount of immunizations a child receives today is excessive. I didn't want to reject all immunizations as I believe they have great benefits, but I also didn't want to overload

Either this nurse was new, has never dealt with me personally before, or she's just an idiot and should keep her opinions to herself. Here's our conversation over the phone yesterday: Me: I'm calling to schedule some immunizations for my son. Her: Is

I'm pretty lucky this pregnancy, compared to last. My last was a doozy! I had everything - from dandruff to gestational diabetes, from stage 3 pitting edema (swelling) to nine months of queasiness, from round ligament pain to ogliohydramnios (very low

Today is my husband's 30th birthday. I hate that I have to be nice to him and bake him cookies and give him presents because lately he has not been very nice to me. He says he's just upset about turning 30. Come on! I turned 30 exactly 3 weeks to the

We watched a couple of the first hypnobirthing experiences on DVD, which was awe-inspiring since these women essentially just "breathe out" their babies. No screaming, no tensing, no pushing. Of course seeing 1980 va-jay-jay all up close and personal

Our smallest and youngest dog Ireland was trying to tell us something, but we just ignored her! I feel horrible. She has worms. Round worm, to be exact. And she tried telling us. She had a couple of accidents in the living room overnight in the last month.

Boston did not get his second nap yesterday because we were out enjoying the warm weather. Despite popular belief, when a toddler misses a nap it doesn't necessarily mean they are crashing harder or better when it comes to bedtime. In fact, for Boston

I broke my own "rule" and began watching two new sitcoms this season: "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town" I normally refuse all new shows because of the insane rate of cancellations. I don't like getting attached and then losing a new favorite. Networks

My mom wants a Christmas list. I'll be 9 months pregnant at Christmas but you can't ask for "asap delivery" as a gift. So I am telling my mom I want Spanx. Never had them and would love to try them. Who has tried them? What size? I'm usually an 8/10 but

1. Feel like I'm getting sick. Uh oh. 2. Last night was the first night since Halloween that Boston slept through the night. He had tricked us the last month being such a good sleeper because he's definitely reverted back to his old ways. But last night

I'll post once a week what I learned in my most recent hypnobirthing private seminar. Our classes are every Tuesday for 5 weeks, excluding the 17th of November since that's my husband's 30th birthday so we switched that week's class to Friday the 21st.

Chris came home from paintball on Saturday and said, "I don't think you'd like it." He said, "It's really painful when you get hit." I said, "You know I've given birth, right?" He said, "I'd rather give birth." Men - so stupid!

I went for another NST today - baby was super lazy at first and it would have been a fail (not enough up and down in the heart rate) but the nurse came in and buzzed my belly with a wand and the fetus did not like it at all so he/she did what the docs

Sorry for not having pictures to post of Halloween. They are on my laptop at home and I'm always on The Nest at work. I did post them to my blogspot though, so check them out. www.edmoexperiment.blogspot.com I also posted about my fetus mini-scare. I
