I’ve gained… if my home scale is correct, I may have gained 24 pounds. We will see next week at my midwife appt. Midwife appointment this week? Nope – next Thursday! Current mood: Stressed out.

Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 8/11/17 which means I’m 33 weeks, 1 day pregnant! Baby is the size of a junior tennis racquet. I’ve gained… probably about 20 pounds by now. Midwife appointment this week? No. Current mood: Stressed to the max getting the house ready! Cravings: Ice cream! Food Aversions: Pizza… grrrr. The yucky stuff: Constipation, major feet/ankle swelling and pain, and starting to get more and more uncomfortable. I’ve been feeling sick after I eat lunch most days because I can’t fit the food…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 8/3/17 which means I’m 32 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of a plastic scooter board. I’ve gained… 18 pounds! Midwife appointment this week? Nope, but I had one last week! I saw one of the new midwives (If I remember correctly, her name was Karen) and then Jualeah gave me an almost-spanking for not being so awesome with taking my iron. Don’t get me wrong, I want to not be anemic anymore, but that liquid iron is so gross and it’s…

I’ve got one tonight. My dad has been asking to see the birth center so I’m bringing him along. 🙂 Current mood: Hurt. There’s some drama going on with my grad school program and overall, I’m feeling hurt and betrayed. I can’t get into details, but it’s really hurt…

Finally got over the cold and am excited because I graduate in just a couple hours from my masters program! Cravings: Sweets! Food Aversions: Pizza still… no bueno. The yucky stuff: Some headaches but now I’m in…
I have been so lucky with my prenatal care experience this time around with Hattie. So lucky, that I’m now partnering with my birthing center, Baby+Co, to help all you mamas-to-be with preparing for international travel while pregnant! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Baby+Co. When I was pregnant with Jude, I didn’t travel. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to, but at the time, it just wasn’t plausible with finances. This time, I’m finishing up a graduate degree which…
I have been so lucky with my prenatal care experience this time around with Hattie. So lucky, that I’m now partnering with my birthing center, Baby+Co, to tell all of you why I’m choosing to go the birth center route this time. Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Learn more about Baby+Co here. With Jude, I had no idea what I was doing. I mean, how many moms can say they knew anything about birthing a child the first go around? Granted, this was…
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 6/22/17 which means I’m 26 weeks pregnant. Baby is the size of a bowling pin! I’ve gained… we’re not talking about it. Mmmkay? 😉 Midwife appointment this week? Nope, but I have my glucose screen next week. Yikes. Thankfully I asked for the organic grape juice so I don’t have to drink the watered down sprite-like drink… Current mood: All over the place, honestly. Happy that things are finally coming together with buying my dad’s house (my late childhood…
