Pregnancy Appetite!

Too bad I’m not one of those women who feel sick and can’t eat during the first trimester.  I’m the woman who eats every 2 hours.  The things that sounds good?  In-n-Out cheeseburgers with grilled onions, cookies, Sun chips, cookies, and did I say cookies? 
Since I’m pregnant, I have an “excuse” to eat for a [...]

Pregnant Again!

I’m happy to announce I’m pregnant again!  My husband James and I went to West Coast OBGyn today and got the good report.  At 9 weeks along, baby Pellicane has a strong heartbeat, arm and leg buds.  Hurray – we are thrilled and grateful!
Since I miscarried around 9 weeks last fall, I was apprehensive about what the [...]

Rain

Yesterday when I woke up, I felt tired, headache-y, and very Eeyore like.  I dragged around the house in the morning.  My husband offered to watch the kids if I wanted to go to the gym.  I didn’t want to go but way down deep inside, knew it would be good for you.  So I [...]

Miscarriage and Grace

When I found out I was pregnant in August, I was so thrilled to share the good news with you.  Of course, a small voice told me to wait to blog about it until I was further along.  But I’ve always thought that miscarriage was something I’d want my friends to know about if it [...]

Fudge Covered Marshmellow Cookies

Yup.  I was at the 99 cent store a few weeks ago getting party favors for my son, and I saw them.  The Fudge Covered Marshmellow Cookies.  Without flinching, I threw them in my basket, trying to hide them from my kids.
When I got home that day, after the kids had gone for naps, I [...]

What You Don’t Want to Hear at Your First Ultrasound

When the words “Oh my gosh” came out of my doctor’s mouth, I got that terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.  There was no baby or heartbeat to look at on the ultrasound monitor.
However, turns out there was no reason to panic.  The doctor said I was just not as far along as [...]

When You Don’t Feel Like Exercising

One word to describe me now in my pregnancy:  TIRED.  I love to lay down and take naps these days.  It’s my favorite activity!  When the alarm clock rang this morning and I thought about going to the gym, believe me I didn’t want to go!
But I got dressed and drove to the gym.  I found [...]

Moody!

Yes, I feel moody!  Usually I am a very upbeat and cheerful person.  But since Thursday, I have felt easily discouraged and irritable.  I told my poor husband yesterday that I basically feel sad with bursts of happiness in between! 
I looked online to comfort myself, knowing that being pregnant does weird things to your hormones.  [...]

I’m Pregnant Again!

 

Yes, Noelle is going to be a big sister!  Two weeks ago, I took my pregnancy test with fear and trembling (by the way, did you know you can get pregnancy tests at the 99 CENT STORE?  What a bargain!).  It came out positive and hopefully it’s accurate even though it was a cheap test [...]
