postpartum exerciseThe other night I went out with my best friend.  I was so excited & hardly had time to think about what I was going to wear.  After all, it was my first girl’s night out and I was more excited about that so I really forgot to look in my closet to see what I had to wear.

My friend came over and we looked in my closet, trying to find something for me to wear.  I have a lot of clothes… I mean, a lot.  However I do not own any “fat” clothes.

And since I just had a baby, this [click to continue…]

bloody show mucus plug clean up kitToday started off just like every other day.  39 weeks pregnant and still waiting… But then something strange happened that will (hopefully) make this day stand out as a little different from the others.

A couple of my girl friends were in town and they wanted to meet us for lunch.  We settled on Cafe Express at noon.  Tarzan didn’t really feel like getting dressed, but I persuaded him to go and am glad that he went.

Anyways…

Lunch was great!  I enjoyed my huge greek salad with chicken and Tarzan [click to continue…]

Bull, Dodge emblem, or vagina?  You decide.

Pregnancy Weight: No change at 39 weeks pregnant!  Again I just want to reiterate how freakin’ awesome the end of the third trimester is.  In not one word of a lie, I have been eating dessert daily and the scale has not moved.

Who wouldn’t love this?!

And mark my word, I will continue on this path until this child is out of my ute.  Because we all know, after he comes out I will be saying no to [click to continue…]

Mom-to-be just waiting for baby in the end of the third trimester.38 weeks pregnant and counting… and waiting.  Are signs of labor during my pregnancy starting?

It’s funny because I know that I’m 1cm dilated and 80% effaced and I keep getting my hopes up with every little sign.  I’m also quite aware of the fact that dilation and effacement doesn’t necessarily mean a thing.  It’s such a tease really.

I find myself looking for signs of labor approaching and then I think “Is this it?” and it never is.  I need to remain calm and stop worrying.  I really just don’t want to have to worry about being induced, but no sense in worrying about that now either.

I had my last pregnancy [click to continue…]

pregnant-father-mood-swings1How’s that for a blog post title for ya?  Whew!  Anyway, as Jane mentioned in her sneezing and peeing post, pregnancy week 16 has been VERY good for her.  No nausea, no morning sickness, no headaches, no throwing up, just some hormone flair-ups here and there, and of course sneezing and peeing.

I’ll take her sneezing and peeing any day compared to all of the other stuff she was going through in pregnancy weeks 14 and 15.  Whew!  We had some rough days there.

Anyway, as I continue on this pregnancy journey with Jane, I’ve been noticing more and more pregnancy sympathy pains.  I’ve blogged about them as they’ve hit me, so here’s a new one for you: [click to continue…]

14-weeks-pregnant-belly-commentToday is my last day being 14 weeks pregnant, and wouldn’t you know that I got my first “Oh my gosh, you are showing” pregnancy comment.  

I was out walking my dog throughout our neighborhood when I bumped into a neighbor.  I haven’t seen this neighbor since right after Thanksgiving, so then I was only 6 or 7 weeks pregnant.  Definitely not [click to continue…]
