How am I already over half way through this pregnancy?! Time flies when you’re having fun. :) I’m managing to post this one day shy of being 23 weeks, and the photos I snapped are from yesterday, at 22 weeks, 4 days. I’m finally past the “It looks like I have a beer gut” phase… read more »
Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes, Five hundred twenty-five thousand Moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights In cups of coffee In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes How… read more »
My schedule has been unusually busy as of late. Happily, it’s the good kind of busy, filled with fun projects and various social activities. Seems that my friends all have a lot going on, so there’s been a variety of bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, and a random celebration or two. This past Thursday, for… read more »
As horribly un-American as it sounds, I’ve never been a fan of ice cream. Unless it was sitting atop a fresh, warm brownie and dripping with some of my mom’s secret homemade fudge sauce, I wasn’t interested. When it came time to do our announcement photo for twitter & facebook, I opted for a very… read more »
A few days ago, Hubs and I went to our first cloth diapering class. I’ve known since before we were pregnant that I wanted to cloth diaper. I’ll be honest, at first, it was more than intimidating. But, after running labs on disposable diapers in a Bio class during undergrad, I was more than convinced that… read more »
Today was a fairy tale. <3 Our anatomy scan was this morning – I feel like we’ve been counting down the days to see our little espresso bean again. I was anxious to make sure all the organs were formed and in place, Hubs was beyond excited to find out what we were having. Happily,… read more »
I’m nearly a week late on this, but… better late than never. My sister and niece are staying with us this week – it’s our Spring Break tradition. We’ve been SO busy, which is a change from our usual spring break routine. In previous years, we’ve just spent a lot of time pool-side, and would… read more »
Yesterday was my 16-week doctors appointment. I really cannot believe how fast things are flying by! This was a couple of weeks ago, at 14 weeks: Also, that’s a maternity shirt. I know I don’t *need* it yet, but it makes me appear to have more bump, less plump. ;) Happily, the doctors appointment was… read more »
I don’t think I’ve ever been more on edge than I was during the first trimester. I was absolutely counting down the weeks until I would hit second tri. I’m usually a relentlessly optimistic person, but I suppose the reality of having gone through one loss made another loss a much more imaginable scenario. While… read more »
• I’ll preface this by saying this is one of the longest blog posts ever. I was trying to answer everyone’s questions about our treatments and finding out we were pregnant in one short post. I’m too wordy for that. It has a good ending, I promise! December was our last month of trying Clomid + Ovidrel injections before… read more »
Kant said that we require three things by which to measure happiness: someone to love, something we like to do, and something to look forward to. Did you know that I almost majored in Philosophy? That was after I switched from biomedical sciences and before I decided to persue print & online media. My… read more »
