Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
People frequently ask me if I’ve had any weird food cravings. Nope. I crave the things I already liked. I did a good job of cleaning out the pickle trays during the holidays, but that’s pretty common if they are dill. If it’s a sweet pickle, I don’t want anywhere near it.

It was ok because I caught … Continue reading Seventeen weeks
When the pants in your closet don’t fit, the mall isn’t the solution. I learned that tonight. I’m struggling an inner battle of not buying maternity pants, regardless of how comfortable people say they are.

We had an interesting conversation with a friend last night. She claims to know if your baby is a girl or boy. Her guesses are based on the following: Heart rate: below 140, it’s a boy Carrying high or low: high is a girl, low is a boy If you look pregnant from the backside, it’s a … Continue reading Girl or Boy?
