I’m at a bit of a loss about what to do for hubbster for Fathers’ Day… Mothers’ Day this year, of course he didn’t do anything for me because I’m “not a mother yet”. But I would like to do something for him, as a daddy-to-be, for his first Fathers’ Day. I don’t want to [...]
Okay, so I’m not exactly a mom yet (as my husband keeps reminding me), but sometimes, it really does suck to be the mom. Because while you’re busy taking care of everyone else, nobody is there to take care of you! The Saturday night after my baby shower was spent hunched over the toilet, puking [...]
How far along? 31 weeks today ! Total weight gain/loss: No idea, although the Wii fit still says I’m gaining… I’ll find out at the appointment on Tuesday how far I’ve come! Maternity clothes? Nothing but! Stretch marks? They’re filling out, and I can’t wait until they’re gone! Sleep: Broken by pee breaks and kicks, [...]
Most moms already know it, and many wives do, too. The early morning sounds of house guests or kids, stirring in their rooms. You never know if they’re fully awake, and they never know if you’re awake, so you don’t disturb eachother. You just sit their quietly in limbo, enjoying the quiet with your coffee, [...]
I’m going to be upfront, and admit that I am NOT one of those southern-momma type stay at home moms, who cooks gourmet meals every night and keeps a house so clean that even the closets look like an Ikea catalog. What I will admit to, however, is enjoying keeping a very nice, clean, orderly [...]
Okay, so remember awhile back I talked about my first Braxton Hicks contraction, like a runners cramp across the top of my uterus? Well this morning, I experienced a LOT more of them! I woke up, like WIDE awake just after 4AM this morning for no apparent reason, and of course made a trip to [...]

I can’t believe it. I’m 30 weeks pregnant today. ¾’s done. 75% finished. TEN WEEKS TO GO. My baby shower is in 8 days. Our daughter will be here in 70 days, give or take whatever she feels like. OMG. Where did the last 30 weeks even GO?? I still remember going for my morning [...]
Let’s face it – us women have a problem. Not all of us, mind you – but the vast majority of women have a big problem that needs to be addressed. It’s called “doing too much” – and I’m guilty of it. Just to give you an idea of what is on my plate right [...]
As I sat there today in the bio lab, tasting that disgustingly sweet drink on my tongue and waiting rather impatiently for the one hour to be over so I could be stabbed and sent home, I contemplated the wonders of pregnancy… While I’d still rather be here than waking up to take my temperature, [...]
I’m going to be the first one to admit it – the work at home lifestyle is great and all (think of the money you save, no childcare needed, time to clean the house, etc.) – but there are downsides. And obstacles. You really have no social life, like those who have a regular job [...]
Okay, listen closely everyone, because you’re about to get the chance to get the CUTEST kid-friendly (and mom-saving) product I think I’ve ever come across. Say hello to the Lovable Labels Camp Pack! I will admit to actually squealing out loud when I opened this package on Friday! Not only is it totally adorable (seriously, [...]
