The Ugly Side of Pregnancy and Delivery

0 Permalink 1

Pregnancy is a magical time when a woman's body undergoes a myriad of changes to accommodate a growing fetus. Depends on what your definition of magical is, though. People often highlight the glowing skin, luscious hair and “cute” baby bump. Those can be great side effects (although there are no guarantees), but the wonder of pregnancy ...

A Clapback for the Snapback

You know what’s annoying? People who act like being pregnant is equivalent to taking a shot of euphoria as they walk amongst the lilies and meadows. “Oh my gawww… It’s the most amazing feeling in the universe. I just can’t wait to meet this perfect bundle of joy in person.” That was never my reality. No, ...

I have a confession to make. I've been slacking. I mean REALLY slacking. My goodness... I haven't written a blog post in a week, I haven't posted a hair video in two months, and you know why? Because I've been tired; but more importantly, I thought I'd already have a baby to take care of by ...

I've read and heard many people talking about the "nesting" phase of pregnancy. That's when soon-to-be mothers start cleaning and organizing frantically to prepare for their baby's arrival.

I was going to write you guys on Monday, but then I thought, "I'm having an office baby shower on Tuesday, so I'll just update the readers then." But do you really care about that? You already heard about one baby shower... why rub it in? lol. I will say that it went really well and ...

The Power of the Bump

Even though I've mentioned how annoying people can be when commenting on my pregnancy, I also don't think I've ever met people who treated me so kindly as when I was pregnant. Yes, even on a late Saturday afternoon at Wal-Mart... Wal-Mart! (Can you tell I shop there a lot? Darn you, low prices!) "Excuse me, ma'am. ...

Look at My Bell-eh!

You may or may not have noticed that I didn't have a new blog entry on Friday. The reason was because in my previous blog post, I stated that I'd have belly pics next time. (I even had the nerve to say "promise".) So when Friday rolled around and I had nothing, I couldn't bring myself ...
