We are one week away from our scheduled C section for Zora on 09/09/19 and have spent the past few weeks doing what we are sure won’t be possible for a while: taking it easy. I asked friends with two kids “what do you wish you’d done before your second baby arrived?” No one had… Read More The Final Count Down

With our official due date coming straight at us, we’ve made an appointment for our C Section on September 9th, 2019. As someone with a 10/10 birthday, I’m a fan of the 09/09/19 date and hopeful that all goes as planned without any unexpected excitement. Zora continues to do well – growing to what is… Read More 36 Weeks

You know what? It’s hot outside. It’s so hot outside that even inside I’m hot. Even inside the car with the air conditioning on, I’m hot. Last time I was pregnant in the fall and winter and spring. I wanted cookies and sugar. This time it’s hot. All I want is ice cream and lemonade… Read More Pregnant In August

We are on weekly trips to the doctors office now to keep an eye on Zora’s weight and also fluid levels. The good news is that she’s measuring as “normal” with an AFI of between 8.5-8.7 over the last two visits. Although she’s not swimming in an Olympic sized pool, she’s still in the low… Read More 34 Weeks

We are 32 weeks pregnant as of this week and went in for our ultrasound to follow up from 28 to see if Zora had gotten any bigger. I could tell you just from carrying around this new wiggly stomping person that she’d at least gotten busier. Our ultrasound, while she refused to cooperate and… Read More 32 Weeks

Today was our 30 week appointment to check in on baby Zora. Everything seems to be trucking right along as expected with a great heartbeat in the 140’s. I’m “measuring” right at 30 weeks and have gained about 9lbs total. We are having another ultrasound at 32 weeks to check growth and decide if we… Read More 30 Weeks

This has been a busy week for our little expanding family. On Monday, Kevin and Ember and I went to officiate what has been our daily life almost since she was born – Kevin’s name is now on her birth certificate. We met with a judge and Kevin has formally adopted her. It included a… Read More 28 Weeks + Signing Papers

We planned a family beach vacation this year as a Christmas gift to my mom and Kevin’s parents (and to us!). We took the week before Memorial Day and went down to the Gulf for a full week of beach adventure and fun. Ember had a blast and so did everyone else. Waking up every… Read More 25 Weeks + The Beach

22 weeks pregnant is something like 5 1/2 months in my opinion but you’ve already started your sixth month so who knows. I’m over halfway there and it seems like it all just started. They say everything goes faster once you have a kid and I believe it whole heartedly. Zora Wilder Harris is almost… Read More 22 Weeks

We went for our big twenty week anatomy scan this Tuesday and got to see tiny new baby shuffling around in the ultrasound. She is still mostly blobby but seems to be more and more of a real person. We watched her heartbeat (145) and saw fun stuff like kidneys and femurs and brains. All… Read More 20 Weeks – Halfway There
