You know how some people have maternity photos taken in the woods in a dress or on a beach with the salt air and majestic sunsets or with their loving husband looking longily at their big tummy? I was lucky enough to have a dear friend offer to take photos for me and originally I… Read More Maternity Photos
Okay, look, I have two accounting degrees. I don’t know why this “weeks pregnant = months pregnant” thing is so complicated. What I DO know is that I’m 26 weeks pregnant today. Math logic (and the internet?) says that means I’m 6 1/2 months. BUT I’m due May 1st, and if you count backwards that… Read More 26 Weeks – Cookie Quest 2017
Friday, the new president of the United States was sworn in to office. It’s not who I voted for, and I’m very worried about what the next four years will look like – as well as the fallout that comes after. People have been so deeply divided by this election that it’s been shocking. No… Read More Doing It For Her
I used to think that a month was 4 weeks. And that 24 divided by 4 was six. But not in Pregnancy Town. In Pregnancy Town, 24 Weeks is somehow still about 5 1/2 months pregnant (or something).

I will say that Sunday night I felt her move in a different way – almost like she was pushing OUT instead of the usual flipping and flopping. It appears she needed more space. So far I’m still… Read More Officially Official

According to my app, that is comparable to the following: Spent the weekend taking it easy, waiting on a new couch to be delivered, and decorating the Christmas tree with my mom tonight. Realizing that next year I’ll be a mom with a tiny kiddo while… Read More 18 Weeks – Holiday Prep
You know how sometimes things don’t go as planned? Well. No where in this Big Adventure did I plan to throw a Boyfriend into the mix, but it seems that Things Just Happen. Every summer for the past 3 or 4 years, my friends John and Kathryn (also Godparents to this tiny person) and I… Read More The Boyfriend
Today I had a handful of friends and family come to the house for a low key gender reveal. A good friend’s sister was crafty and willing to make some super cute rice krispy treats for the Big Day. And the survey said: It’s a girl! Ember Walker Rose arriving May 2017. Thanks to everyone… Read More 50/50
So here we are at 12 weeks. “Normal” people would probably be all excited about being safe* to tell people about their impending pregnancy, but of course I’ve told everyone on earth so that’s already handled. Tell everyone: check. *Safe = lower chances of miscarriage, which is a Thing People Don’t Like to Talk About,… Read More 12 Weeks – Feeling Like An Impostor
So this weekend has been busy. I’ve gotten it into my insane head that I need to get EVERYTHING done in the yard that I can while the weather is decent and I’ve got the energy. So today after a workout I went home and put out mulch and started to pick up acorns that… Read More Coming up on week 12
