All the mommy/pregnancy blogs I read post tons of nursery inspiration photos, show off all the lovely DIY goodies they have crafted for their child(ren), and seem genuinely excited about filling their homes with baby clothes, toys, and accessories. Me? Not so much. Beautiful nurseries are nice, to be sure, but I’m too cheap and […]
Things are progressing slowly but surely. I am feeling more and more movements above my belly button, whereas before most of the kicks and punches stayed in the lower regions. I have also started to feel simultaneous jabs this week (ie, one on my upper right side and the other on the bottom left) which […]
I woke up this morning to find a beautifully-written post by my friend Nodakademic that talks about her decision to wait to have kids. What I found particularly interesting was that she, along with others who choose to wait until they are at a more stable place in their lives — and in the meantime, […]
My heart skipped a beat when I woke up yesterday morning. I had reached a new milestone. My baby is now considered viable by the American medical community. And how can she not? Baby girl is growing larger and stronger every day. I can now see my belly do “jumps” as she hiccups. She reacts […]
I’m sure I’ll get bashed for saying this, but I always found Anne Geddes photos a bit creepy. I can certainly see the appeal. Babies! In cute poses! With adorable props! What’s not to like? However, I always found them distasteful. And from a quick Google search, I have discovered that I am not alone in […]
“You’re so huge!” is a common phrase I hear these days. Just what is it about the general public (especially old ladies) that makes them think they have the right to comment on just how fat a pregnant woman is getting? Well, I think I have given them more ammunition… Because holy growth spurt, Batman! Take […]
My baby is now 1½ weeks away from being considered “viable” by the medical community. Once she hits that magical 24-weeks mark, she has a 50% chance of longtime survival outside my womb. And if anything were to happen to the pregnancy after this mark, a hospital will try its best to keep her alive. […]
Baby Jonathan was born deaf. At the age of 8 months, he received a cochlear implant. Watch the implant be activated for the first time… I totally bawled my eyes out watching this video! Via haha.nu. ETA: Some of the comments on the YouTube video page can be upsetting/offensive to theists. I personally praise God […]

I’ve been majorly slacking on my weekly pregnancy updates. I have no excuse other than the fact that I got lazy. Sorry! Remember that nasty case of round ligament pains? Well, they certainly contributed to a major belly growth spurt — just look at the difference between weeks 18 and 19! …but then again, my […]
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.
