I managed to miss the 32 week update…oops! As stated yesterday, I haven’t been in a blogging mood these past couple of weeks (or in a mood to do anything, really) because I’ve been suffering from insomnia and its consequences. They say that losing sleep in the last weeks before delivery is nature’s way of […]
I have been utterly uninspired as to what to write on this blog in the past week or so, and last night at around 3:52am, I finally figured out why: insomnia. They say that insomnia affects up to 75% of women in their third trimesters, and it looks like it seeped into my life right […]
I had never heard of “push presents” before getting pregnant, but it has come to my attention that it is another heated debate among moms (as if we don’t have enough to disagree on already!). A “push present” (also known as a “push gift” or “baby bauble”) is a present a new father gives a new […]
This past weekend I fell sick with a cold. I was secretly terrified, because the last time that I had gotten sick, I had also worried about how horrible the baby growing inside me must be feeling if I‘m feeling this bad…and just a few days later, found out that the baby had passed. Needless […]
While doing some research for my upcoming delivery, I discovered NOELLE™, the pregnant robot. NOELLE™ was created in 2006 by Florida-based company Gaumard Scientific and has been increasingly used to train doctors and nurses deal with complications of pregnancy. The high-end model retails for $20,000 and comes equipped with several umbilical cords, dilating devices, vulva (for […]
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 […]
My pregnancy-induced swelling has reached a point where it has become difficult to take off my wedding ring set at the end of the day. (I’m not sure why, but I’m always fine at the beginning of the day, only to end up with fat stumpy feet and kielbasa-like fingers come nightfall. Can someone shed […]
(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. […]
Yesterday J asked me when I would like to take my maternity photos. “I don’t know…next month? I don’t really care.” Then I realized…I really do care. But for the wrong reasons. Because the truth of the matter is, I don’t want to take them. Because never have I felt more unattractive in my life. Because […]
Where did the 27 Weeks update go? Yeah…um…about that… There was no 27th Week… *waves hand in an attempt to Jedi mind-trick my readers* Did that work? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Just blame it on the fact that I can be a moron and completely forgot to take a picture, nevermind write an update, last […]
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.
