Day #15 – Poundage
Some of my coworkers are betting that I won’t come back to work on Monday. With 16 days still to go … I’m pretty sure I will, but tonight is a full moon. So who really knows!?!?! During my junior year of high school I went on a trip with church to Brazil. I specifically […]

Day #14 – Random
Almost to the 1/2 way mark … 17 days into 30 Days to Baby. Wowser. Words aren’t quite flowing today. We had a dear family friend pass away and I feel a bit wrecked. So, these are the few random updates that come to mind: I ate a buffalo burger for dinner last night. First time […]
Cloth Nursing Pads
I ordered some bamboo/wool cloth nursing pads with a hemp middle. They are supposed to be amazingly absorbant and easy to just hand wash each evening. Do you have any experience with cloth nursing pads … or nursing pads in general. How many should I have on hand? Help us reach the first page on […]
The Mailbox is Brimming!
Since all of our showers have wrapped up I have been sending out gobs of thank you notes and prioritizing what we still need. Thanks to many of our wonderful friends and family I was able to place some online orders for last minute baby necessities! This is what has arrived in the mail so far […]
Day #13 – Bestie Turns Mama
18 days … 18 days … 18 days … which could turn into 32 days, but nevermind that. I’m focusing on 30 Days to Baby based on the little 40 week ticker. We’ll see what really happens! Last week my best friend gave birth to her first child. Olivia BrookeSeptember 15, 20106 pounds, 15 […]
Day #12: The End is Beautiful
Only 19 days to go … we accomplished alot this week (pictures to come), but my oh my, I’ve got alot to fit into these last 19+/- days! I have had my moments recently. The “I hate not knowing when!” (cue whining voice). The “Will I ever be skinny again! (cue dramatic flop on the […]
Week 36 & 37 Appointments
Ah, yes. The joy of weekly appointments. You know what that means? Baby will be here sooner rather than later :) No real news to report. Still growing (both baby and I). Blood pressure, pulse, baby’s heartbeat and placement (left occiput anterior to be exact) all look good. Left Occiput Anterior PositionPhoto credit Only tragedy […]
Day #9, #10 and #11: Letting Go of Perfection
It seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting … now we are 20 days away. It’s crazy! There is a lot of emotional processing that goes on in these last few days of pregnancy. Sometimes I prefer to just shut down … hence a squished version of 30 Days to Baby, three […]
