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 don’t mind opinions/advice, but what’s with the teasing/hazing?

21 weeks: more and more movement

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 [...]

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 [...]
18 weeks, 1 day: Various gripes

Today I considered staying home sick. I have what AS is confident is a sty–a pimple on my eyelid, basically. It’s been there for three days, and today I woke up with a puffy dark bag under my eye that looks bruised. I don’t think it’s too noticeable, but it’s distracting because the swelling pokes [...]
17 weeks: been awhile
Posted in Budgeting, Frugality, Parenting, personal finance, pregnancy, tagged Budgeting, Frugality, Parenting, personal finance, pregnancy on September 28, 2009 | Comments Off
I haven’t really had time to post lately, and nothing too exciting has been happening until the past couple days.
For the most part, no weird symptoms, and if I have them they’re not very long-term. Some congestion, including clogged ears and extra snoring at night; greatly increased appetite; a little bit of dragginess coming back [...]
New blog page for baby expenses
Posted in Budgeting, Frugality, Parenting, personal finance, pregnancy, tagged Budgeting, Frugality, Parenting, personal finance, pregnancy on September 10, 2009 | Comments Off
Inspired by the blog hisboyscanswim.com, I decided to make a permanent separate page on this blog for babymaking expenses. I’ll still talk about them in my entries, but I’ll keep that updated as a handy reference for anyone interested in the cost of the baby so far.
14 weeks, 3 days: great appointment and cost update

This morning I had a pleasant doctor’s visit. I told Dr. O about taking my after-sex meds a few weeks ago when I was experiencing UTI symptoms, which a nurse had later chewed me out for when I called in to ask about it. She said I could go back to taking the same pill [...]
