Toss out the hyper-happiness, you can’t expect me to be uber-thrilled all the time about this thing called birth and mothering. Yep, 30 Days to Baby is debuting a mound of fear today. I’m not generally a fearful person. Weird since I watch so much 20/20, Dateline and CSI. Those shows should give me mega-nightmares […]
Day #20 – Savoring the Moments
30 Days to Baby … which after my appointment the other day might need to switch to 45 Days to Baby. Chuckle. Laugh. Cry. Pretty soon I’ll be announcing the arrival of my little one. It floors me how fast this little darling has matured from the size of a blueberry to a massive summer watermelon! I […]
Day #19 – Before the Sun
12 days to go! WE ARE ALMOST IN SINGLE DIGITS!!! 30 Days to Baby marches on … Looking back, alot of these 30 Days to Baby posts have been about Dominic. And you know what, this is another one! So much of my becoming a mama is tied to Dominic becoming a dad. If anything, […]
Day #18 – Thirty is Around the Corner
I’m experiencing one of those life conundrums. Time is going so fast, and yet, it is going so slow. Approximately 13 days until our little one arrives! Tonight at dinner Dominic and I were discussing plans for my 24th birthday. Nothing extravagant since we don’t know when our little one will make there debut, but […]
Day #16 and #17 – Weekends with the Greatest
14 days! That’s only 2 weeks. That’s only 2 weekends. Holy moly … we’ve got a baby coming!My husband is the greatest … especially on the weekends. Last night, as I was rattling off our weekend to do list he said, “Wow, my weekends are busier than my work week.” Luckily, he said it with […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Day #7 – 42 Weeks
Only 24 days left! This 30 Days to Baby journal segment is flying by. Then again, with my recent sleepless nights it seems to be lasting forever at the same time. I have bipolar pregnancy emotions about it all. Due dates are just guesses. Did you know that? We talk about them and anticipate them like a […]
