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
Yesterday I hit my new Pregnant Math Milestone of 25 weeks (which means, still, 5 1/2 months pregnant, I think). Ember is apparently 13 1/2 inches long, but I’ll be interested to see WHERE that even is. The diagrams show all these kids being up and down but based on the way things seem to… Read More 25 Weeks – Big and Weird
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). This all has to do with the way “They” count things from the last time you were… Read More 24 Weeks – Pregnant Math
This week is the 23rd of this adventure and I’m already surprised at how quickly things have gone. Theoretically, I’m somewhere near 5 1/2 months pregnant and it really seems like it just happened. Of course, I’m sure finally feeling like I LOOK pregnant is part of that, but seriously – 5 1/2 months? No… Read More 23 weeks
Well, it’s finally happened – Tuesday I suddenly LOOKED pregnant. It really did happen just like that. 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
22 weeks today roughly translates into 5 1/2 months pregnant, and I’m proud to say I’m still holding strong at having added less than 5lbs. Although I’m starting to LOOK pregnant, I’m not alarmingly huge yet. YET. I know it’s coming. I’m trying to stave off the avalanche. Ember is now 12″ long and about… Read More 22 Weeks – Christmas 2016
One of the interesting parts of using a sperm donor is the Open vs Anonymous option. I struggled back and forth on this – the Big Reason I wanted to use a sperm donor instead of just finding someone I knew was to avoid strings attached. Knowing that I wanted to be a mom didn’t… Read More Sibling Registry & Cord Blood Banking
21 weeks and these weird size comparison options on the app can be confusing sometimes. The general story is that she’s 10 1/2 inches long and about 12oz now, but how that translates into this I have no idea. Apparently she can also be compared to a baby bok choy but that is also semi… Read More 21 weeks – Almost Christmas
So today marks 20 weeks – 5 months pregnant. Halfway to 40. Is it really halfway over already? It’s still so strange. There are days when I don’t even think about it. According to our favorite little app, Ember is 10 inches long, 10 1/2 oz and about the size of a paper airplane. At my… Read More 20 Weeks -Halfway there?
