Yes, we’ve come full circle here. It seems like years ago when Jane was 16 weeks pregnant and I was writing about her crazy hormones and lack of sex. Back then, I never thought too much about what life would be like after Monkey was born as far as sex was concerned.
I mean, what’s the deal? The last time we were at Jane’s doctor’s office we asked what are some things we can do to induce labor naturally at home and she told us to have lots of sex. I don’t know about you, but any doctor telling Jane and I to have lots of sex just secured me [click to continue…]
Pregnant Jane and I plan to get the reviews we need to do finished today – just in case. I feel like I’m in pins and needles every single day lately and if we don’t get these reviews done, Baby Tarzan will be here before we know it! With Jane being 39 weeks pregnant, I feel like her water is going to break at any moment. And every morning I wake up, I’m surprised we made it another day without Jane going into labor in the middle of the night!
And speaking of labor, I want to talk a little about what got us into this journey. Yes, it’s a subject that makes people blush. Yes, it’s a subject that is often NEVER discussed during the beginning of a pregnancy while the morning sickness is [click to continue…]
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…]
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…]
I am a woman of my word, I’ll have you know. At 38 weeks pregnant, I kept the promise to my husband and we packed the hospital bag for labor and delivery. It wasn’t bad at all, but not that I thought it would be either. It’s just the final thing to check off of our “to do before baby comes” list.
Prior to packing the hospital bag we also installed the car seat this morning. Talk about weird.
Well, I should clarify…
It’s not [click to continue…]
I had a great appointment today at 38 weeks pregnant. I can’t believe I’m so close!
At my appointment last week, at 37 weeks pregnant, my OB said that she would rather him come anytime after 38 weeks. I asked her why since I thought that 37 weeks was full-term. (Of course my preference would be for him to stay put until closer to 40 weeks.)
She said that while it is full-term, in her experience, little white babies born at 37 weeks are usually [click to continue…]

37 weeks pregnant and reminiscing… Prior to actually being pregnant, there were a few things that I associated with those particular 9 months. I thought of the pregnancy glow, pregnancy hair, morning sickness, desserts, getting some special attention (not gonna lie), Mexican food (seriously yum), gaining pregnancy weight, pregnancy fatigue, swollen pregnancy feet and hands, stretch marks, big boobs, pregnancy sex, and nesting.
I never got the lovely pregnancy glow that I’ve heard about. And while a few people have said, “You are just glowing” I know that they are full [click to continue…]
Whew, what a busy past couple of days it’s been this week being 21 weeks pregnant. Good thing that the second trimester energy is not a lie because I’m not sure how I would have functioned this past week. My favorite part of being pregnant so far has definitely been this past week. So many milestones have come with being 21 weeks pregnant and it’s been pretty amazing!
First, I wanted to give you a recap about the bachelorette party that I went to. I will admit that it was not as awful as I expected, but it was still pretty boring. Our night started off at dinner and of course I enjoyed the yummy Mexican food! It was my favorite part of the night! Ha, ha!
After dinner we went [click to continue…]
18 weeks of pregnancy down and I am quickly approaching the halfway point. I figured this would be a good time to reflect on the past 18 weeks my belly has been growing and growing and share some often unspoken shocking facts I have learned since becoming pregnant.
Maybe I missed the memo that the Pregnant Fairy left on my pillow the night Tarzan impregnated me. Or maybe these are lessons that every pregnant girl has to learn the hard way. Either way, it’s been one [click to continue…]
Good morning Jane. Are you surprised to see a blog post written just for you? Well, I hope that you slept well my very beautiful pregnant wife. I hope those cheese and crackers I brought to you before you went to bed helped ward off any nausea and morning sickness.
While you were sound asleep last night having dreams about who knows what (I think I know according to an article I’m about to share with you) I ran into an article written awhile back that I thought you may find very interesting. Click here to read it.
Love,
Your Husband Tarzan
