Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
This last pregnancy went fast. I expected that but didn’t think it would go nearly as quick as it did. I feel a little guilty because I didn’t document it like I did my first pregnancy. All my pictures were from my phone and taken in my gloomy bedroom. No fancy camera and no Photoshop … Continue reading The post-pregnancy weight battle
December 20. Today I was supposed to have a scheduled c-section delivery. At 39 weeks. {Also my sister-in-law’s birthday. Happy birthday, Danielle!} This is what it looks like outside my dining room window. I’ve heard that we got 13″ of snow! The lights keep flickering and the wind is NUTS. Thunder was heard during the … Continue reading December 20, still a day we’ll always remember
We had a bit of a screw up with our 37 week appointment this afternoon. Apparently my appointment was scheduled for 1:45, but we thought it was at 2:15. So, we missed my doctor because she got called over to deliver a baby. {And then Bryan said, “that could be us!} So I saw a … Continue reading 37 week update
I’m sitting here at 6:30 on a Monday night and barely awake. I felt the same way during my lunch hour. I could easily curl up {sort of} and close my eyes. Probably not opening them for hours. Instead, I pushed through the haze and went back to work, yawning my way through the afternoon. … Continue reading Our working household
I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, I love this two year old. He’s so much fun. He’s constantly doing something. I hear boys are busier than girls, but I doubt there’s much difference at this age. I’m sure a two year is a two year old, taking in the world and … Continue reading The naming game continues
I wrote about my glucose test experience here. I survived it, barely. The next day I was in a meeting with the team I worked with at the beginning of my career. They have spouses who work with my mother-in-law so I told them I’d had four blood draws the previous day. We commented on … Continue reading Glucose update
On October 4, I passed the 7 month mark. It was like any other day, except I had to take my one-hour glucose test. I also had to pack for a seven day work trip. Besides those two things, I also had to make sure my house had food and was cleaned for the babysitters … Continue reading 28 weeks {7 months}
Week 26 Thursday, September 20 – New outfit! This shirt is really long when I’m not pregnant so I knew it would be a good maternity shirt! It’s not form fitting, even with a 6 1/2 month belly, so I got to wear a belt. You know, since I’m in love with belts. Except it … Continue reading What I wore: Week 26
It’s 3-hour glucose testing time! I’m sitting in the waiting room at the hospital lab. It’s a little before 6:30 am and I’ve already had my blood drawn once and have been sitting on a liter of sweet drink for about 30 minutes. I’m not sure exactly what to expect. So far LBL 2.0 is … Continue reading My 3 hour glucose experience
