Have I mentioned that I’ve been very self-conscious about my looks these past few months? Only about a dozen or so times! Along with the almost-20 lbs I’ve stacked on, pregnancy has also changed my body chemistry so much to a point where my old tried-and-true beauty products just have not been cutting it. My […]
J and I are not patient people. So when we learned yesterday that we would need to wait 4 more weeks — as opposed to the 2 as we had originally believed — to find out the gender of our baby, we both looked like this: (I know, I know. I can imagine all the […]
Early this morning I went in to have my blood drawn for my AFP. I had been told at my last appointment that today would be just the blood draw, and that I will come in two weeks later for a regular check-up. Well, imagine my surprise when the visit turned into a full check-up! […]
Two years ago today, J and I said “I do” in front of 236 of our closest friends and family. In those two years, we have never taken a vacation together (with the exception of our honeymoon). I stopped working full-time. J got laid off and remained unemployed for three, financially tumultuous months. We lost […]
Today, I felt my baby move for the very first time. I was sitting in a beautiful church at the wedding of J’s cousin (congrats, Suzanne & Lou!). They were in the midst of reciting their wedding vows when I felt it — Butterflies fluttering in my lower abdomen. The moment lasted barely a second, […]
I read a fascinating article titled Science Question from a Toddler: Life Before Birth last week. I highly recommend the full article for any new/expectant mothers; heck, it’s a good read in general even if you’re not into this stuff! The reason I bring up this article is due to a particular passage: Newborns prefer […]
I have found that pregnancy and mothering boards can be some of the most heated on the web. Everyone has different parenting styles, and they all seem to think that their way is the best. They fight tooth and nail to prove their point, and soon the debates become nothing short of nasty catfights. There […]
Note: Due to reader requests (and some confusion on both me and my readers’ sides), I have decided to combine all posts from baby.geekinheels.com to my main blog here at geekinheels.com. I apologize in advance to anyone who feels put off by the plethora of pregnancy posts, and for any inconvenience this may cause anyone. […]
Dear Baby, I had a minor scare last night when I couldn’t find your heartbeat immediately on the fetal doppler. I had forgotten to check that you were still doing okay in my tummy before I left for Homecoming…and I was worried that the weekend’s festivities (in addition to being around all those smokers!) had […]
I just saw this onesie at Baby Gap and I fell in love: I know Baby Gap is grossly overpriced, but I’m most definitely getting this for the baby, regardless of its sex. I know J would love it as well because he’s as much of a Star Wars geek as me, nevermind the fact […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
