Well after all my moaning and groaning about how hard it is being pregnant, my wonderful sister-in-law went and threw us the best baby shower in the whole wide world. Seriously, you would not believe how awesome it was. We had quite a guest list and she made accommodations for everyone – all 65 friends,…

Things They Don't Tell You About Pregnancy
I’ve read “What To Expect When You Are Expecting”. I even glanced at it before I got pregnant. It almost made me not want to bother. Almost. Because if you focus on all the pain and suffering it takes to get that little baby into your arms, it seriously sounds like a deal-breaker. But I…
Darn!
Last week I had a Glucose Challenge Test done to test for gestational diabetes. To get the test, you first have to starve yourself, then you have to drink a sickeningly sweet sugar water, then you have to wait around for an hour before having your blood drawn. Test results came back a little high.…
Intimate Apparel?
So you know when you are like 13 years old and you go bra shopping for the first time and you see those hideous, giant, silky, “full-coverage” bras with straps so thick that it looks more like a parachute than lingerie hanging on the rack and you think to yourself “I hope to high heaven…

Pregnancy Sucks!
There I said it. I know it’s a miracle and it’s wonderful and I shouldn’t be complaining. But I’m not going to lie. It’s been hard too. A lot harder than I thought. Not because I’m tired (which I am) or sick (which I was) or fat (which I’m getting there) but because it is…
Scary Moments
Let me preface this by saying that everything is fine. But today was not a good day. I was feeling good this morning, but it took an ugly turn. We had an ultrasound at 9am, which I assumed was just a routine ultrasound. We were looking forward to seeing how the little one had grown…
Cat's Outta The Bag
It’s been so hard keeping this in for the last several weeks! But now it’s all over Facebook, so there are no more secrets. Yup, we’re finally pregnant! It feels like we’ve been trying forever. In all actuality, it’s been almost 3 years. Which I realize is a blip in time in the grand scheme…
Mixed Emotions
The last couple of weeks have been hard and fun and just a mixture of emotions! I’ll be honest – I’m still having a tough time dealing with baby thoughts. Trying not to think about it and just letting things happen in their own time, but man. I just thought babies were the next step,…
Baby-Making Woes
Well yesterday was pretty shitty – to put it lightly. About a week and 1/2 ago, hubs and I found out we were pregnant! I took 2 at-home pregnancy tests 5 days apart and they were both positive. We were of course super excited, nervous, anxious…excited. All the feelings that go along with a possible…
