Why does pregnancy get all the notoriety for inducing cravings? Did everyone forget about breast feeding? I find myself experiencing more cravings as a nursing mama than as a pregnant one. Not to mention that I’m hungrier. In fact, breast feeding is known to burn at least 500 calories per day. And pregnancy? You only [...]
This is the day that I reveal a bit a lot more about those blessed nine months of my pregnancy. My joys. My trials and tribulations. Even my belly.
Ever since I was pregnant, I notice pregnant women. I notice the camaraderie I feel with them. The excitement I have for them, knowing what’s in their [...]
One year ago today I discovered that I was pregnant. It did not come as a shock. I had been fiercely suspicious for over a week. Plenty of time to get used to the idea of a baby. And intoxicated by the prospect. After setting eyes upon the two lines signifying PREGNANT, I experienced dual emotions. Joy, [...]
This is the story of my daughter’s birth.
Sleeping had become increasingly difficult during the last weeks of my pregnancy. My bladder had been reduced to a pea sized pocket as visible on the ultrasound, thanks to the baby’s head pressing against it. I would wake up multiple times during the night to [...]
Emile is very sweet about the imminent arrival of his new baby sister. We’ve told him enough times that he’s going to be “the best big brother ever” that now he says it on his own. “I’m going to be a good big brother and I’ll be very gentle with the baby.” He even offered [...]
James and I have been hard at work getting everything ready for the baby. Cleaning, organizing, assembling furniture and installing beautiful new hardwood floors in the top floor of our house. The nesting instinct is real, and strong. Not sure which one of us it has hit harder… [...]
I am feeling quite grateful for a very sweet Christmas, my beautiful loved ones and our many blessings, so I thought that recapping the holiday would be an appropriate way to kick off the new year. Enjoy!
…and everything nice. That’s what my little girl is made of! Yes, James and I found out this afternoon that we are having a BABY GIRL, just like we both thought. As the ultrasound grew closer, I became more and more confident that there is a sweet girl growing inside of me. Leaving for the appointment, James [...]
Ahhh, I have them! Do I have them because I am pregnant or just because I’m me? I’ve wanted to be a momma since I knew that it was possible. I remember playing *house* when I was in kindergarten and I adored playing the mom to my best friend’s little sister. Then, a few months [...]
I’ve decided that pregnancy is one big waiting game. First, you wait to take the test (if I haven’t gotten my period in 3 days I’ll take it…ok, maybe 5, false negatives are so common). Then, you wait for the first doctor’s appointment to confirm the pregnancy. Next, you wait for tests, test results and [...]
