Tuesday night AS and I went to a class on breastfeeding at the hospital. NT was going to be in a university class when we scheduled it but ended up having the night off; however, it was the last day to turn in his final paper for a distance class, so he had to stay [...]

The holiday-and-other-stuff whirlwind that began in November hasn’t subsided for a second. On Saturday we threw a holiday party. None of the usual suspects in our friend group had scheduled any, and we wanted to see people before the Xmas season got really hectic. It was great, especially for talking to newish moms and a couple [...]

I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since I wrote anything! November didn’t slow down at all after my last post; in fact it became so busy that it flew by. My poor NaNoWriMo got abandoned just before I hit the 10,000-word mark, and it wasn’t because of procrastination either. December is going to be [...]

This is just an attempt to play catchup and get some thoughts down before any more of my pregnancy goes by in a blur. What with NaNoWriMo, my other blog, and work being much busier than I’m used to, this blog is in danger of falling by the wayside. And I don’t want it to! [...]

21 weeks, 2 days: a little venting to release pressure

I posted this on a pregnancy forum on whattoexpect.com, but what the heck. I want to spread my annoyance far and wide. I am learning from my kitten, who is a vocal advocate for his own wants and needs, even when he’s not sure what those are.

I’m nearly recovered from my bad cold that started last Tuesday, but even though the coughing and congestion are winding down and the achiness ins completely gone, yesterday and today I feel like I’ve taken Nyquil. My limbs feel heavy, I don’t feel like moving or thinking too much, and I yawn constantly. I guess just [...]

Well, I was very excited on Monday to reach the projected halfway point of my pregnancy, but I was too busy at work and at home to blog on that day.
Tuesday I was busy all day at work and coming down with a cold by the end of the day that just made me want [...]

19 weeks, 1 day: lots of good news

Friday was our long-awaited ultrasound appointment. Before it, I had searched online for how many U/S’s people usually get; I’ve seen so many blogs where people seem to get them all the time. Some people get 20-30 over the course of a pregnancy, for no good reason except they like seeing the pictures and their [...]

Over the weekend I bought a bunch of maternity clothes that have plenty of room and should last me awhile. I got three sweaters, a business jacket, two pairs of slacks and four shirts. $177.91 total (lots of it was on sale).
Also saved $20 not buying birth control meds in October.
Total pregnancy cost so far: $813.62

18 weeks, 2 days: The quickening?

About a week ago, I woke up in the middle of the night (not uncommon these days). As I lay half-awake, I thought I could feel fluttery little movements inside my belly. I tried to lie more still, but my heart was pounding from waking up suddenly, so I couldn’t really tell if I was [...]
