Family, Faith, Food... FUN!
I'm not sure when I'll be brave enough to post this. As of the start of this entry, Tycho is 10 days old, so we'll see how long it takes me to actually... you know, buck up the courage. :) I was so lucky to have the most perfect birth I could have ever asked for. It was at a birth center, no interventions, with supportive people, in water... it seriously could not have gotten better. I was … [Read more...]
As a final "hurrah" before Kit gets here, Matt and I hosted a St. Patrick's Day Pre-Baby Bash, where we gathered all our friends together and had delicious food, hearty drinks (oh my god, we have a stockpile of beer now!), and fun conversations. We hadn't seen some of these people in a while, so it was good to catch up before our lives officially ran away from us! One thing we ended up making … [Read more...]
I'm 34 weeks as of yesterday, and I've started to feel Kit drop a bit in the past week or so. Thank heavens my desk is right outside a restroom, is all I can say about that. Since he's dropped a bit, I noticed recently that I can do something that amuses me so much, I thought I'd share it with y'all, too. You're welcome. :D This is my normal belly. He even feels a bit lower, haha. Lookit … [Read more...]
We're getting to crunch time now!! It just struck me today that I'm now 8 weeks away from my due date and, even more surreal, 4 weeks away from when labor won't be stopped if it starts. Four weeks! Ridiculous! It struck me even harder this week, more than any other, as Matt's cousin Jess gave birth to their beautiful baby boy on Tuesday, 26 February. I went to visit the happy (if … [Read more...]
I had a post planned for today, a continuation of my cloth diapering series, but I'm scheduling it for tomorrow because, let's face it... there are more exciting things happening! Matt and I learned of our pregnancy not long after Matt's cousin Jess and her husband Chris found out they were pregnant, and since our due dates were two months from each other (hers 26 February, mine originally 26 … [Read more...]
Matt and I recently visited Florida for an extended weekend, complete with baby shower and spending quality time with our families. I'm still waiting for all the pictures from the shower, so while y'all wait for those (on pins and needles, I'm sure!), here are photos from the beach!! These are from Pompano, not far from where I was born and raised. Good lord, how I miss the ocean. Quite the … [Read more...]
So according to some sites, sometime this week starts my third trimester. 27w4d, 27w on the dot, some as late as 28w. Frankly, I'm not sure when it starts and I honestly don't particularly care, but if it's now, I can definitely see (and feel) why! Exhaustion is starting to rear its ugly head again, to the point where coffee doesn't even close to touching it and getting a good night's sleep -- … [Read more...]
Moving right along! I've been a terrible blogger as of late, but I swear it's for good reason. We've had a lot going on in the nursery lately, including me sewing up custom curtains made from shower curtains (what? We didn't like any regular curtains!) and some blackout shades. Matt hung up the curtain rod, so I really need to get crackin' on these curtains. It's tough when you don't have a … [Read more...]
Let's get off the topic of politics for a moment and focus on something happy! :) I hit 16 weeks yesterday, a milestone for sure. Between now and 20 weeks, Kit will do some real growing, and I'll do some major sleeping or eating -- or both! -- as a result. And smack in the middle of that, we find out Kit's sex! The great thing is, we're going to find out with our families around us. As … [Read more...]
I have something to share. :) Lookit what Matt and I have been working on! Kind of explains my recent absence, huh? ;) We have been trying since just before the beginning of this year to expand our family, and we finally got our positive on 13 August! We hadn't told anyone but family (and awesome attorney-boss because, shoot, if I was ever sick at work...!), and we told them … [Read more...]
