A big “con” of having an anterior placenta is that I will not feel the baby move as early, or as often as other mothers. Luckily, I first felt the sensation of fluttering butterflies at 16 weeks…but not much since. The big exception was when we went on our babymoon and I felt her swimming […]
I know that I have a good 4 months to go before baby girl is ready to come sliding out of my hoo-ha, but this topic has been weighing heavily on my mind. The essay below is a popular one in the BabyCenter boards, has been posted in numerous threads and is a topic of […]
Earlier today, we went in for our second 3D ultrasound (we got a free repeat session because the baby was in an unfavorable position the first time). While the baby cooperated a bit better this time around, she still had her hands in front of her face for most of the session, causing much poking […]
This week’s update is a few days late, but I’ve had good reason to postpone. There isn’t anything new or exciting on the pregnancy front aside from my severe round ligament pain. I still feel some aching, but it seems like the pain is gradually getting better. Praise God! I’m happy that I can now […]
So I’ve had an entire night to sleep on it. And after thinking about it some more, talking to my mother and some girlfriends about it… …I’m starting to get excited! I think one of the reasons I was so shocked at the news is because I had a gut feeling from the beginning of […]
It’s a GIRL! After the NT scan, I thought that we had a bold and outgoing child on our hands. But this ultrasound certainly made me change my mind — she was a shy one, constantly covering her face with her hands and keeping her legs tightly crossed. It took quite some pokes from the […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
This morning J and I made a trip to Holy Name Medical Center — where I plan on giving birth — to have our nuchal translucency (NT) scan. The NT scan, otherwise known as the first trimester screening, is a combination of a sonogram and blood tests to identify risks of chromosomal abnormalities (e.g. Down’s […]
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.
