Dear Baby, I am a few days late posting the weekly update, and I hope that this doesn’t turn into a habit! I am definitely starting to get a bump and my pants are getting tight around the waist. Ever since seeing you (and hearing you!) your father has become a bit more affectionate — […]
…or at least the first hour of February 14. On the night of Friday, February 12, I started having abdominal pains. Not cramps, mind you, but sharp, shooting pains that kept me up through the night. I decided to suck it up and went into work the next day because Saturdays are the busiest days at […]
Yes, I am pregnant again. And yes, I started this blog as soon as I found out last month. Please feel free to browse the archives. In the meantime, I’ve decided to answer any questions you might have… * * * When did you find out? I found out on the morning of J’s birthday, […]

I confess that I still get upset when I hear of acquaintances’ pregnancies — because I’m positive that they will go on to have […]

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.
