Little Kicks
Is it even worth it to describe to someone who’s never experienced (and doesn’t care to experience) the emotional weight of what it feels like to have a baby move around inside them, what it feels like? (I dare you to diagram that sentence!) Going on and on about it to non-breeders kind of makes […]
Notes on the 18th Week
Ah, the 18th week. Tomorrow we’ll have an ultrasound where we will *hopefully* find out the sex of Bebe, err, Pat. I’m not getting my hopes up too high, though. Would you if you were given this handout by your office?: Whatever. I get it. But the practice seems to be equally concerned with other […]
Baptism by Spit Up
I feel like there are a few must-address subjects when blogging about pregnancy. The first few are from the first trimester and tend to focus on how your body is turning on you and there’s nothing you can do about it. First, morning sickness, joy of all joys. Check. Next, gaining weight. Gotta love that fatty […]
Pregnancy Headquarters
Time to show a little appreciation for the place where it all goes down (or, err, comes up) during pregnancy: The bathroom! The lobby bathroom at the Field Museum in Chicago was recently rated the best public bathroom in the US. Now, you may shirk this off as a dubious honor, but when you think […]
Baby Mix
In compiling my (as always) *thorough* inventory of the human race, I have been able to discern two categories of parent. First is the parent whose identity seems to be completely encapsulated in their baby/child. EVERYTHING is geared towards their young. Weekend outings are limited to going exclusively to kids’ museums, Chuck E. Cheese’s, and […]
Wait, you mean pregnancy will eventually lead to delivery?
It has recently occurred to me that my pregnancy is eventually going to reach the point where the baby is going to have to come out. My nether-regions are going to automatically contract and stretch without me telling them to and a huge mountain of living flesh is going to be pushed through a hole that […]
It’s PAT!
Lately with all the positive news from the doctor about the progress of the pregnancy and mine and the baby’s health, my mind has been able to take a break from worrying and focus entirely on the gender of Bebe. As we all know, the more I think about it the more likely the sky […]
Why I have confidence that the world doesn’t suck
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Just when I had started contemplating how this baby I will introduce into the world in April will live in a place where politics are a farce, the planet’s ecology is taken about as seriously as a Hollywood marriage, and public education is equally as laughable, my faith […]
Pregnancy Dreams of the Deranged Variety
We’ve now made it to the second trimester – YAY! I am looking forward to all the good things the next three months will hopefully bring: desire to eat normal food, a bit more energy, and (can I say this?), a renewed interest in sex. Needless to say, the last week has been nice, with […]
As if this were the only reason our baby will be awesome
Monday I finally saw my sweet lil’ perfect globule! Most exciting moment possibly EVER. Definitely on par with making a walk down the aisle, if that’s your cup o’ tea. I was so giddy and nervous at the same time to see Bebe because, well, I’m meeting my and B’s miracle! And so do you […]
