It’s hump day. And I have a big hump this week. Last night I probably only got 1.5-2 hours of sleep. I did something to my back before choir practice, and I couldn’t get good breaths at choir, then it got worse when I got home, with a band of pain around

Just something I wanted to vent about. If one more person tells me when to have the baby or to make sure I call them when we go to the hospital . . . So, I know people are just really excited, especially DH’s parents, they are really excited, but seriously,

I’m about done. I’m still doing pretty well most times, but tiredness and achiness and just general ickiness is starting to hit me more frequently, and I am about to the point of being “over” being pregnant. The baby still needs to bake a few more weeks,

I've been in a big meeting all day, so I haven't been able to get anything written. But I'm here. I had a good weekend. The shower was small but more fun than I thought, and we got some nice things. I only had to take back a couple of duplicates. Sunday

Got up at 5:30 this morning to finish cleaning the house and packing so we could leave right after work for my parents’. DH for some reason decided we would leave Saturday morning even though I had said I wanted to go up after work tonight, and so we

Looks like I missed a lot yesterday while I was traveling. It feels like a Friday, even though it’s Thursday. It is foggy and dreary outside, and I really wish we could get some nice, crisp fall weather and blue sky – you know, normal Blacksburg fall

Well, the little guy is fine, guess he just needed a lazy day yesterday. He’s already had two active bouts this morning, so I’m happy again. Last night was ridiculous. I got home at 6pm after my pedicure (there’s nothing better than a pedi), and I was

Insomnia, Acid Reflux, and Carpal Tunnel - my latest faves. Friday afternoon I got a call from the hubby saying he had news. Our old grad student friends (from when we were first married – the only ones we’ve been really close to) were in for the Nebraska

Today is Friday!!!! I am super excited for this weekend. I guess DH found tickets to the game – he thought I would go even though I had been saying all week I wasn’t leaving my mom when she was coming to visit for the day. So after that spat had been

Oooff. I just got back from working a college career fair, and I am wiped. Is it naptime yet? It was a good time, and I always enjoy doing the recruiting, but my feet are killing me, I'm still overheated from that crazy place, and now that I am sitting

Okay, so now that I aired out all my inner feelings to the world, I am done with the hubby beat-down. Really, that is our biggest issue - the communication and not always working as a team every day. Which doesn't sound bad, but I've seen these things

My head is so stuffed and sore today. It’s from sobbing a bunch last night. We ended up arguing, and once again it was me being overly emotional and excuses and talk about how he does help out a lot and support me, when I’m trying to explain that maybe

And now Roger Federer is cursing at tennis officials . . . people, can we be classy please? Patrick Swayze died last night. I am sad – Dirty Dancing is one of my all time favorite movies, and he was absolutely brilliant in it. I am almost done with my

a little retail therapy helps me out of a black mood. Today my mission was to get just one or two newborn girl's outfits. Why? Because the childbirth class teacher was telling us about how sometimes little girls grow penises and little boys lose theirs

First off happy things, then my rant (which I am sure I will get flamed for, but I can’t hold it in any more). Friday night we went to the Salem Red Sox game. It was fun, they won with a walk off home run in the 10 th inning, and we got to see Jonathan

Well, the baby care class last night was a waste. We thought it would be more of how to change a diaper, how to swaddle your baby, the basic things you definitely need, what if the baby is colicky, circumcision care, feeding, visitors, etc. Instead, it

I love when I come home to DH making supper. Normally it’s some form of wrap, but I like when I don’t have to cook. At least it’s something helpful. We had our last childbirth class last night – we graduated and got our little certificate. The nurse took

Okay. I finally have gotten through my frustrating task (not that I’m done being frustrated, but that specific task is done). So work is very stressful right now. I have 7 analyses of my own to work on and finish before I go on maternity leave, plus I

I am here and have stuff to report, but am swamped this morning (and very frustrated) at work. I'll write the details as soon as I get a chance.

I forgot to write this morning about my nightmares. I have had 2 in the past 2 nights. And these aren't vague, I'm naked or I've lost the baby kind of nightmares. These are extremely vivid and detailed, horror movie type nightmares. The first one people

Well, the Hokies lost. It was a pretty good trip, a couple of crazy things happened. We had some good plays, but some typical issues we always seem to have (such as not being able to finish a big game). It was an honorable loss to a good team, so we move

I am on a roll. Last night we had breastfeeding class (everyone stayed fully clothed, much to DH’s sadness, as he had heard we had to pull out the boobs and play with them). I kind of knew some of the basics, but it was good to hear all the details and

Today I have more energy. Yay. Last night when I got home, DH told me happy anniversary and had made wraps for supper. He was just finishing up when I got home, so I went and picked the squash and tomatoes that were ripe, finishing picking the tomatoes

Three years ago today I married my hubby. Right at this moment (about 10:30am), I believe I was in the church putting up pew decorations. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like 3 years already, other times it seems like way longer. Time goes by fast. DH called
