Now, it could be totally unrelated, but I think the food poisoning may have actually re-set some sort of hormonal balance in my body… since I’ve been better I’ve finally started having the appetite that I’ve been looking forward to having all pregnancy!!! Also, the baby has already dropped quite a bit, so my stomach […]

Perhaps this is karma… since I never actually vomited during my 1st tri (I just got nauseated, but without the vomiting to at least make it feel productive, if you know what I mean). Throwing up with a basketball in my tummy is a totally new experience. I can’t quite hug the toilet bowl as […]

And it’s been another month practically. Truly amazing. Funny conversation between me and M the other night: Me: I found a nice kit to register for that has all the baby bathroom/care essentials… you know, thermometer, nasal aspirator, toothbrush, brush… M: Babies need brushes? Me: Well, they make special soft ones, and ones just for […]

I was a bit stunned when I checked and realized my last post was almost a month ago! So what’s changed since then…. – Bigger kicks, rolls, punches, jabs. M has even been able to feel a couple, which is awesome. – Almost complete loss of belly button. No really, it’s amazing how quickly it […]

Hooray of all hoorays, WE’VE GOT KICKING!!!! Also, pelvic rest is a thing of the past. Need we say that this is a very very very good thing? B’s supposed to be the size of a large mango now (8.5 oz, 6 in crown-rump). Again I say, where do these people buy their fruit?!?!?! You […]

Can I just say that there’s nothing like watching your baby hiccup for the first time on ultrasound? Of course, at one point, B also looked like s/he was picking the nose. 😉 Also, based on how fond B is of crossing legs, maybe she’s a girl! Somehow, though, I bet all babies do that […]

No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Buttercup is marry’ Humperdinck in a little less than half an hour. So all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the princess, make our escape… Wait, wrong story. 🙂 I’ve been a bit remiss with the updates, so I’ll do […]

my first pregnancy pillow cradle me gently while I dream of wacky things

We already knew last week’s vacation was not going to be as fun as expected due to my activity restrictions, and that we weren’t going to be able to go to the cottage as planned. Apparently, the mean gods of vacations-from-hell decided that wasn’t punishment enough. On Tuesday, I woke up with some rather annoying […]

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. Largely because there just hasn’t been much to report. We’re still in the 1st trimester where not a whole lot happens. I mean, B has progressed up to the size of a lime, but that’s about it. Until last night. Remember that spotting I had around week […]
