Wow! A lot has happened in the last month. I went from spotting brown and being worried about the baby to feeling better and knowing the baby was healthy. Saturday I will officially be in the 2 nd trimester. It’s gone from cold to hot to warm weather.

Yesterday evening and last night were eventful. I went for a walk/run when I got home from work. I wore one of my favorite performance mesh tops and one of the two biggest pairs of shorts I have (ones normally reserved for bumming around the house). It

I love the weather this weekend and so far this week. I am all full of plans and feeling slightly more energized from all the sunlight. Yesterday I got Belly Laughs and ended up reading the whole thing last night. I laughed a lot. I was just tired after

I just sent off my first inquiry about daycare. Yes, we are already looking at daycares at 13 weeks. Around here, there is a mega shortage of available childcare – some places we have already missed our opportunities. We are still kind of hoping for a

It's Friday! The day is going to be long just because - I can't wait to get out of here this evening and enjoy the beautiful weekend! It's supposed to be in the 80s all weekend, which is more like summer weather (which I LOVE). What do I have planned?

Okay, so I mentioned Hawaii in my last post. I am required to take a week-long vacation each year, and I told DH I wanted to go to the beach one last time without kids and just lay on the beach. Well, SIL has moved to Alaska, so we can't go visit her

Just got back from my doctor’s appointment. It was kind of boring, but short and sweet. My blood pressure was good, and all my blood work and labs came back good. My red blood cells and lymph were a tad low (RBC 4.02%, normal is 4.1% thru ?, and lymph

Well, yesterday afternoon and today I have not felt great. My belly doesn't hurt, is just uncomfortable, like I have stopped up gas or indigestion or some weird muscles are growing. So I just kind of feel icky. Everything else seems fine, so I'm not really

JC Penney's has Buy One Get One for $0.88 right now on new stuff in their maternity section (It works out to somewhere between $13-$15 an item). And it's pretty cute too! I'm going to try and go sometime in the next couple of days (I didn't have time

So first off a positive thing - I was in Target searching for a DD bra (they've already gone from C to D and now my two D bras are tight) and started walking towards the back of the store where the maternity, plus size, and shoe sections are, and this

So I've said a few times that I want to do childbirth without drugs - I don't like needles, I've heard lots of stories about bad side effects/how things can go wrong when they're trying to do the epidurals, about how induction with pitocin can actually

I have a busy morning at work (thank goodness, the day goes so much faster that way), but I wanted to post a quick blog. Things that happened this weekend: - My mom called and told me I should buy a crib from a consignment store to save money. Umm, no

Yesterday I had a scratchy throat. Today my head is stuffed, my nose is dripping, my throat is yucky, and all I can think about is how much I want to sleep. I don't have time for a cold - my choir concert is Saturday, and I have to get lots done tonight

I decided last night that I should call my MIL and chat with her about all the baby stuff, how far along I am now, how I’m feeling, when the next doctor’s appointment is, that we found a car seat and stroller and started a registry, that we’re still looking

The weekend was good. Mom and I had a really good time shopping Saturday. We went into Motherhood Maternity in Cville, where I tried on 40+ items, but only ended up with four. I didn’t tell Mike I spent $125 on the clothes, but I figure it was well worth

I have hit my afternoon slump and seriously need a nap, but no can do. I'm super-excited to go see my family tonight! And it's so hard to concentrate when I'm tired, hyped up for a trip, and not too awful busy at work. Happy Easter, everyone. See you

So I did a little research this afternoon, and I'm seriously thinking about cloth diapering. Apparently there have been major developments in this area since my little sister was in them 16.5 years ago. I'd given thought to it before, but it seems much

Tomorrow after work I am going up to my parents' house! I am so excited to spend time with my mom and sister (my dad will likely be out on the farm all day, and my brother works nights - I'll still get to see them, but most of my time will be with the

Disclaimer: Don't read if you don't like TMI Last night I finished a romance novel and must have been dreaming about it, because in the middle of the night we somehow excited each other in our sleep. We were having some great lovin', but I guess DH was

DH said his coworker C found out about the baby and told us congratulations and said that they found out they are having a boy (due the end of this month). He also told DH that it was the only practical thing to do and made shopping so much easier, etc.

The boss was excited and really happy, so that's off my chest. The spotting has been gone since Saturday, so hopefully it's gone for good. I had a super moody day yesterday - DH changed our plans for Easter weekend without consulting me after we'd already

Last night we stayed up to watch the final ER episode, which didn't go off until 11pm! So this afternoon I am seriously tired, cranky from being tired, and completely unable to focus on work. It's only 3:30, and 5:00 seems so far away. I'm so tired and

My ultrasound and blood work went great yesterday! I didn’t have to wait very long at all. At first the tech attempted an abdominal ultrasound, and I’m pretty sure I saw the baby’s heart beating there, but it was hard to see all that she needed to, so

Today I get to get stuck like a vampire and God knows what else for this cyst ultrasound. I kind of hope it’s not an internal just because it’s such an ordeal and I don’t want any more spotting, but I’ll do whatever. I hope I get to see the baby and that
