Bloat Baby (13w3d)

I used to hate it when one of my blog friends got pregnant and stopped having anything interesting to say. Well, I think I get it. There is a lot more interesting (albeit, frustrating, heartbreaking and fucking awful) to write about when you are in the throes of trying to get pregnant. Or maybe that's...

Second trimester, ho! And baby mama bodies

12 whole weeks pregnant! Depending on how you divide the trimesters, I have either hit #2, or will in a week or so. But why wait? I think now sounds like an excellent time to be in the second trimester. And Goofball, our midwife, apparently agrees. We had our 12 week appointment today, and everything...

Nest Building (11w3d)

We are home from Indiana, and we are both emotionally and physically unscathed. (and there was much rejoicing!)

Clearing Out (10w2d)

La and I moved out of a tiny (no, really,  it was 600 sqft! ) 120 year old house three years ago in preparation to have babies (and to quit paying to repair things like cast iron pipes. ) Despite knowing from the moment we saw the house which room would belong to our future...

Shameless Product Promotion Tuesday

You guys.I know SO MANY (all?) of you have told me to get the snoogle and I was like, 'yeah, ok, I mean, I love a good body pillow but . . .'I'm here to officially say: "You were right. It is totally worth the hype." But, I'm cheap. And I really couldn't justify buying a...
