Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 9/21/17 which means I’m 39 weeks! Full term to all you naysayers who don’t think 37 is full term. 😉 Baby is the size of a mini skateboard. I’ve gained… less than 27 pounds as far as I know! Midwife appointment this week? Nope. I go for my next appointment on the 28th – my due date! Or, baby girl may come before. Who knows! Current mood: Trying to stay relaxed and not stress about things I can’t control. Cravings: Sweets. Food Aversions…

Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/29/17 which means I’m 27 weeks pregnant. Some say this is the 3rd trimester, others say 28 weeks is! Since my midwife says 28, I’m sticking to 28! Baby is the size of a camping lantern! I’ve gained… 15 pounds! yikes! Midwife appointment this week? Yes! Tuesday night I had my 2nd trimester solo appointment that included my glucose screen. The appointment itself was great but the glucose screen was a nightmare. The organic grape juice was good, thankfully, but when it came time to…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 6/8/17 which means I’m 24 weeks. Baby is the size of a GI Joe. I’ve gained… Good question. Midwife appointment this week? Nope – next week though! Current mood: A bit relieved that I survived another milestone without my mom. Yesterday was her birthday so I bought sunflowers (her favorite) and we bought a watermelon cake (it was vanilla but looked like a watermelon). I miss her more than I can say. Cravings: Carrot cake & banana bread still. I bought some carrot cake along with the…

It’s dark, smelling oddly of smoke, and seriously in need of an updated design. This is what I’m thinking as I sit in the waiting room at Wake Med Maternal Fetal Medicine at the Raleigh campus. I should be thinking the worst. And I was – just a few minutes before. But I really, really can’t think about it right now. I need to focus on something else, anything else. You see, I’m here because my midwife, just hours earlier, couldn’t hear my baby’s heartbeat. Jordan and I arrive at Baby & Company, the…
