I'm about 33 weeks now, and let me tell ya, little man has definitely had a little growth spurt. Now, I can feel him lying there when I'm barely touching my stomach, and he is always making sure I remember he's still there. And yes, my stomach is poking out a little more because of it. ...
Beware of Unsolicited Advice…
You know those people at the store who just start striking up a conversation with you like they know you? Yeah well... I seem to be their target every time. Even when I wasn't pregnant, strangers would start talking to me about the bad quality of oranges, or confide in me about their wayward teen. Sometimes ...
Hoping for a Two-fer!
Right now, I'm eight months pregnant. The baby is measuring about two weeks ahead, so the doctor told me that I could be expecting a Thanksgiving Day baby. (Well, that mixed with the fact that this baby is doing dance moves and Pilates in my stomach around the clock now.) So my mind is basically set ...
My New Hobby: Craigslisting
♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ "I'm gonna pop some tags. Only got $20 in my pocket..." ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ That was the theme song for how my weekend went. As TIRING as it was going from city to city to hunt down the remaining baby items we needed, the reward outweighed my swollen feet. We got a ...
Grandparents… Gotta Love ‘Em!
Some grandparents love to spoil their grandchildren and then give them back. Others don't really want to relive their parenting days, so they settle for giving a hug and kiss before going back to their kid-free lifestyle. And then you have my parents—the kind who apparently got a memo that grandchildren are their children. My baby ...
Baby Shower Time!
The safari decor... very cute! It's time for the update you've been waiting for—my baby shower!! The theme was safari animals, and I loved it! Let me walk you through the sequence of events. This food brought out the fatty in me :) LOL! The shower started at 4 p.m., but for some people, that meant ...
All Belly My Foot!
Remember in one of my last posts, in which I stated that I don't need to memorialize my chubby days? I definitely still believe that; but in that post, I also had the NERVE to say that I'm up 15 pounds, and it's mainly all belly. That is, until I saw pictures from our baby ...
Hormones Changing My Hair Texture
There aren't too many perks to being pregnant (not the end result of pregnancy—the actual state of being pregnant). So when there is one, take it and run with it! For me, I've discovered that my coils loosened up a bit—making my hair much more manageable. If you keep up with my hair videos, you know ...
Nursery? What Nursery?
"OMG! Less than three months left! Are you putting the final touches on your son's nursery?" Ummm.. if you mean have I bought a couple bags of diapers, then yes! This is basically what I expect my "nursery" to look like. Should I feel bad that we're not even having a nursery? We're going to move ...
Maternity Pics a.k.a. Memorializing Your Chubby Days
Everybody's waiting for baby bump pictures. Some people have even asked if they can be the photographer for my maternity pictures. And to them I say, "Thanks, but no thanks." No tea, no shade (I'm getting the hang of using that phrase ;) ) on those who take pregnancy pictures. You guys look great, you're glowing, ...
