Birth story
Well, here it is. My LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGG birth story. I figured I need to do it right, get as many details down as possible before I forget. So please forgive me if it seems long winded (seems…hell, it is), but I am trying to preserve whatever memories I can before the baby sucks them all out [...]
Can’t talk long…
I think I’m in labor! I’ve been up since 4:40 am with contractions every 6-7 minutes and it appears my vagina has a runny bloody nose. Seriously…it’s a disgustingly accurate comparison.
AND that was just another contraction. Hooray! They hurt. I’m not going to lie. But I’m ready for it! I don’t imagine I’ll be doing [...]
Does blogging induce labor?
I don’t know. Let’s give it a try.
Questions for myself to answer after the baby is born:
1. Do you still have cankles?
1b. If not, how quickly did they go away?
2. Do you still have heartburn?
2b. Did you birth a mini chewbacca (you know.. because all the heartburn means lots of hair)?
3. Did you feel your [...]
::said like Fat Bastard:: “Get out of my Belleh!!”
So today is/was the BIG day. My due date! It was pretty uneventful honestly. Not so much as one measly contraction. I don’t feel like he’s any closer to coming out than he was a week ago. Difference is a week ago I was completely relaxed about the whole situation. I was in NO rush [...]
My Earth Day Apology To Mother Earth
I am sorry for the ridiculous amounts of toilet paper I have personally been responsible for flushing down the toilet over the last 10 months. Between the constant checking of what was going on and coming out down there when TTC, the excessive paranoia induced checks when I was spotting throughout the first [...]
The exit can be found at the rear of the cabin
Attention Baby:
Despite your valiant attempts to break free of my womb via my rib cage, I regret to inform you that you will be stuck in that increasingly small water balloon until you learn to head toward the tunnel located directly above your head. Yes, it may make more sense to try to kick [...]
Baby, you’re my Boo.
No. That’s not what I whisper to my husband every time I lean in to kiss him. I practically gag at any song on Top 4o that makes reference to someone being someone’s “Boo”. That is, however, the “code line” that I must say if I am absolutely 100% positive and dying for an epidural.
So…yeah….we’re [...]
I don’t think you’re ready for this belly.
At the end of 32 weeks (literally days before the stretch mark explosion) I was lucky enough to meet up with some very good friends of ours for an amazing maternity photo shoot. We met Amy and Srinu Regeti about two years ago while planning our wedding. They ended up taking our engagement [...]
The end is near…
Wow. The end of 37 effing weeks! I can’t believe it. I’m “full term”…whatever that means. It’s actually kind of cruel to tell a woman she is “full term”. It makes it seem like there is some sort of concrete finality to everything in the very near future, but, [...]
I really do love this…
My little boys feet are always positioned just below my ribs these days, and while I suffer frequent kicks to the ribs and lungs, I absolutely LOVE being able to clearly feel and make out two tiny little feet. I love poking them and massaging them and feeling them run up and down. I’m sure [...]
