So this week I’m at 19 weeks (which is more than half way through this process, which I find hilarious and also terrifying). I had an appointment yesterday with an ultrasound, which my mom was able to attend, even in the rain plus traffic. Sadly, our ultrasound tech wasn’t terribly friendly, so lots of questions… Read More 19 Weeks – Ember Does Not Cooperate
Weekly update. Ember is apparently 6 1/2 inches long. 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
Thanksgiving was this week and it was great. I had my little family over and we had a nice afternoon meal together, which was followed by a nap while my mom cleaned the kitchen – AMAZING! I cooked a couple of turkey breasts, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, stuffing and a pumpkin pie (Paula Deen’s is amazing and… Read More 17 weeks – Thanksgiving
So I SUPPOSE I am now four months pregnant, which is great. After holding steady at the same weight, I seem to be up about 3 or 4 pounds – we’ll see if it stays. I’ve been conflicted about constantly griping that I don’t FEEL pregnant because that means I’m not terribly uncomfortable and it… Read More Week 16 -4.5″
So today I hit 14 weeks and also went to see my OB for the first time in a few years (met with her PA last time). I love my doctor because she’s got a no nonsense attitude that works well for me. She laughed when I told her “I did what you told me to do… Read More 14 Weeks – “Surreal”
Starting my 13th week at a conference in Denver, CO has been fun so far. My friend and I got out here early for our Women’s Accounting Conference (JEALOUS?!?!) that lasts most of the week. Sunday, we got here and walked a lot – 5 miles by the end of our day. Monday was a… Read More 13 Weeks – Denver
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
Now that I’m at 10 weeks, apparently this tiny person is the size of a lego minifigure, or at least, that’s what my app says. Big Doctor’s appointment today. I got there SUPER early, not only because I am nervous about getting places late, but also because I assumed I’d have lots of paperwork… Read More 10 Weeks – Lego Minifig
