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 […]
Entering the Deep Beyond
I’ve always been interested in space. This can probably be traced to my early childhood, which was nestled comfortably within the Shuttle Era. Space culture made up a major part of what I saw (and kind of understood) on the news when I was quite young. Seriously, people were being blasted off the Earth and […]
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Having just moved to a new town in North Carolina and becoming an *official* practitioner of housewifery – complete with baby bump AND a daily-used KitchenAide – I have had to recalibrate many aspects of my life. Not working a typical job is a big one, but I’m not complaining because my husband is beyond […]
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 […]
So many thoughts, so many ways not to write about them
Why is it that the more I have floating around in my brain and the more I feel compelled to put down, the harder it is for me to do it? I’ve been quite preoccupied with that question lately because out of all the challenges I’m facing in my life right now, that’s the one […]
Nom Nom of the Week: Perfect Choco Chip Cookies
Remember when I was harping on eating healthy and putting nutritious things in my body during my pregnancy? Well, those kinds of dishes aren’t as fun to blog about. Maybe on a slow week I’ll share with you a recipe for a kale salad or something. If you are pregnant, you need no excuse to occasionally […]
Notes on the 15th Week
Sorry for the nearly week-long hiatus. I’ve been having pregnancy headaches lately and they seem to be exacerbated when I sit in front of the compy for longer than, like, 10 minutes. I have several close friends who have lived with real-deal migraines since childhood, so I don’t dare compare my pee wee head ouchies […]
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 […]
