The Tree + the Fruit

According to traditional wisdom in rural France, a baby in the womb should be compared to fruit on the tree. Not all the fruit on the same tree is ripe at the same time…we must accept that some babies need a much longer time than others before they are ready to be born. -Michel […]

Day #21 – Fears

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 […]

38 Week Appointment

These weekly appointments are just crazy. I mean, only so much can happen every 7 days. I pretty much say, “I’m feeling fine; marching on. Nothing too exciting to report.” This week brought some fun updates though … Belly is measuring at 40 weeks – that’s right, my wee one is gonna be a chunker […]

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 #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 […]
