30 Weeks

I now have less than 10 weeks left until my due date! But when you think about it, I’m only 3/4 of the way done, which makes me think with an exasperated sigh, “That’s it??” The impatient side of me wants this baby out NOW. The discomforts of the third trimester continue, and I really really envy […]

Mila’s Daydreams

Whenever I see Comang in his comfy pose, paws twitching and snores galore, I often wonder if he is dreaming, and if so, what about? And when my daughter is born, I know that I will wonder the same about her. Obviously I am not the only mother who tries to imagine what her baby […]

29 Weeks

(I need to really start making it a point to post these updates on time, as I am now almost 30 weeks.) As stated in a post yesterday, I’m starting to get really uncomfortable. My lower back constantly aches. My hands and feet swell so much at nighttime that I’m starting to have dexterity issues. […]

Finally Getting Started on the Nursery…

We purchased our first item for the nursery today: a crib! The Graco Lauren crib in espresso, to be exact. When I first started looking at cribs I was startled at just how expensive most of them were. Especially the minimalist ones with clean simple lines, which is our style. Our own bed didn’t cost $1,000 […]

26 Weeks

Once again I am a few days late. The truth of the matter is, there aren’t many new exciting updates on the pregnancy front (aside from the gross ones — see below) and it’s almost becoming a drag writing these weekly updates. HOWEVER, I know that there are readers who look forward to these posts AND […]

Fathers and Daughters

Ever since I got pregnant I have been encouraging J to go out and spend more time with his friends. I figure that his days of partying will be cut back significantly once the baby arrives, so I like for him to enjoy his last “free” days and get it out of his system as much […]
