Sponsored post – all opinions are my own. Buying a new car for the new baby! Since getting pregnant with Hattie, I’ve been seriously considering the purchase of a new car, a minivan in particular. I’ve asked friends and I’ve talked to a dealership but the best piece of advice I was given was to do research on cars.com. Cars.com allows you to research price, make, model, and other statistics to ensure you’re knowledgeable about the type of car you want when it comes time to talk to a dealer…
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 9/14/17 which means I’m 38 weeks, y’all! Baby is the size of a ukelele… but don’t say that word in my house because Jordan bought me one for Christmas last year and I’ve yet to attempt to learn to play it. I’m a terrible fiance! I’ve gained… 26.4 pounds! Midwife appointment this week? Yes! We saw my girl Karen on Tuesday. She is the absolute sweetest. We chatted about what to expect going forward, she was able…
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working for the travel agency at the time and I got a phone call from the urgent care I’d seen just two days prior. “Ms Karambelas, we got your test results back and you don’t have a kidney infection.” I was confused. This felt the same as the last kidney infection I had had a few months prior. They already put me on a medication to treat the infection before even getting the results of the urine culture because they were so certain I…
I know it’s taken me F-O-R-E-V-E-R to post about our Superhero or Princess gender reveal, but here it finally is! I found this idea via pinterest and it was super fun. Let me start by saying that I have nothing against women being superheroes. It actually was super obnoxious when I got a comment like “hey girls can be superheros too” and let me tell you, you are no fun if you think bashing on someone’s party idea is nice. It’s just a dang party…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 9/7/17 which means I’m 37 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of a tackle box. I’ve gained… I think I’m still at 26 pounds. Midwife appointment this week? Nope – next week! Current mood: Tired. I’m not sleeping very well and I’ve been having braxton hicks contractions a lot so I’m really uncomfortable. Cravings: Ice cream! Food Aversions: Forever pizza. The yucky stuff: Always using the bathroom, can’t sleep, braxton hicks, unable to breathe most of the…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 8/31/17 which means I’m 36 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of a cabbage patch doll. I’ve gained… 26 pounds! I somehow gained like 4 pounds in a week. YIKES. Midwife appointment this week? Yep! I had my third trimester group visit yesterday afternoon with Angela and Karen. There were about six other moms and a couple spouses at this visit. We took turns weighing and doing blood pressure to ourselves and then met 1:1 with a midwife to check baby’s heartbeat and get…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 8/25/17 which means I’m 35 weeks, 1 day pregnant! Baby is the size of a kid’s backpack. I’ve gained… 22.5 pounds! Did I actually lose weight?! Midwife appointment this week? Yep! I had one yesterday with Alexa. This was my second time seeing her and she was able to draw my blood on the first time which is great for me since I’m so terrified of needles. We went over what to expect this next month and when to call the…
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 experience taking group classes at Baby+Co! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Learn more about Baby+Co here. In my previous prenatal care at a traditional OBGYN, I was given pamphlets for classes to take at the local hospital to prepare for the birth of my son. These pamphlets, among others…
Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 8/18/17 which means I’m 34 weeks, 1 day pregnant! Baby is the size of a basketball hoop. 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. I came into work today to a million things I had to fix. But on the house front, I’m a little relieved because baby girl’s room is finally painted and I…
