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 you mamas-to-be all about my babymoon experience! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Learn more about Baby+Co here.* Things are a lot different when you already have a child and are planning for your second (or third… or more!). Vacations take on a whole new meaning when you have a kid in tow. We like to…
I can’t believe I bought my first home, y’all!! I did a really cool thing this past week – I bought my first home! When my mom and dad sat me down a couple years ago and told me that they wanted to sell me their house, I was stunned. I remembered back to the day we drove around in the van going to house after house with our real estate agent. We didn’t intend to tour what later became our home, but I was looking out the window as we drove by and screamed…
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…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 7/27/17 which means I’m 31 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of a foam finger! I’ve gained… I’ll find out tonight. Midwife appointment this week? 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…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 7/20/17 which means I’m 30 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of a motorcycle helmet, or a cantaloupe for those of you who prefer the fruit analogies. I’ve gained… so according to my scale, I’ve gained 19.5 pounds. I’m not 100% sure how accurate the scale I’m using is though. Midwife appointment this week? Nope – next week though! Current mood: Stressed! Man, there is SO much going on right now. While I had my graduation for my MFA last…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 7/14/17 which means I’m 29 weeks, 1 day pregnant. Baby is the size of a barbie convertible. I’ve gained… I’ll have to see when I get back to the states this weekend! Midwife appointment this week? Still in Espana! Current mood: Better than last week. 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…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 7/717 which means I’m 28 weeks, 1 day pregnant. I’ve finally hit my 3rd trimester, y’all! Woo! Baby is the size of a roller blade! I’ve gained… well, no scales her but I’ve probably lost weight with all this walking in Spain! Midwife appointment this week? Nope! I’m in Spain!! Current mood: Honestly, not feeling very good. I’ve overdone it here and I need to kind of take it easy these next few days. Amy and I are…
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…
