What was I for Halloween? A pregnant woman. What did I do for Halloween? Turn the lights off and close the blinds, so that everybody knows we are not the candy house. (Yes, we were those people.) I got asked, "Do you like Halloween?" so many times yesterday because of that. My answer was, "No, it's ...
Forever Grateful
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 ...
My Fashion Sense: It Fits and It’s Clean
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. ...
Finding My Purpose
It's a somber day for me today because I just found out that one of my coworkers passed away early this morning. She was battling breast cancer for a few years, and it later spread to infect her liver. I know everyone starts scrambling for nice words to say about a person when he or she ...
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 ...
