It wasn’t long after I had the epidural that my entire body started to shake. I was a little cold in the labor room but when they brought me into the OR I was definitely freezing. I have yet figure out why they keep OR rooms so cold. I was only somewhat surprised at how…
Friday we were originally supposed to go back to the hospital to another non-stress test. I’m not really sure why the doctor wanted to do that if everything was “fine” and with all the confusion I decided to canceled that appointment and made an appointment for my weekly checkup for Monday. Since the non-stress test…
Nope, I’m not skipping a thing so I hope you’re in for the long haul. We had our baby girl….obviously. But here is the entire story. At my 38 week appointment (Monday the 5th) I was anxious to see if I had made any more progress as far as dilation. It was a busy day…
Are you kidding me? Have you seen this show on TLC? Devin and I were wasting time the other day and were sucked in by a few episodes of this ridiculous phenomenon. I mean really now. It’s one thing to not know for a few weeks, even a few months but to carry to full…
op-er-aaaaa-tion just now…. come on, sing it with me. k…..maybe not. So like most moms, my mom saved (or made me save) a few things from my infancy so that she could one day pass them on to me for my children. One of the things she saved was a doll from when I was…
Are you beginning to see a trend? There are two sets of blinds in our place that need replacing. We were kind enough to give our landlords a month to come up with the mere what…$20? $30? to replace them. Of course after waiting a month we never heard from them so I sent a…
Today I had my 37 week checkup. The bad news, I gained 2 pounds this last week. Ugh. I guess I had to catch up for the last 6 weeks when I was holding steady. The good news, 70% effaced, -1 station, head down and 2 centimeters dilated! Woo-hoo! I was afraid that she wasn’t…
Last Saturday was my baby shower. We had a small turn out but if there were any more people it would have been hard to fit them into the space. My sister-in-law Katie and mother-in-law Robin hosted it at our apartment (Thanks!). Robin did most of the food and of course made this cake. As…
This was me last Saturday at my 36 week mark. That’s 4 weeks to the original due date. At my 20 week ultrasound they put the due date at October 15 instead of 17th but I ignored that for several reasons. For one I didn’t want to worry myself that I was going to have…
Who doesn’t love free stuff? I for one, am totally up for free stuff as long as it doesn’t cost me more in time than the the item is worth and it doesn’t cause an annoyance….again more than the item is worth. By that I mean by getting one little thing for free I don’t…
