When a baby wants to come into the world, there is no stopping him or her!
Two weeks before her due date, and one week before my scheduled c-section (my prior baby was delivered c-section because she was breeched), I started having contractions in the middle of the night. Not a big deal at first since [...]

Being on partial bed rest during pregnancy has its ups and downs. Of course, there are times you want to smash the clock, be done with your resting and get on with life! But back to the ups and downs…
Ups:

I must say thank you to my dear husband for all of his wonderful help during my pregnancy!!!
Since Labor Day, I’ve had pain on my left side, under my belly, where the doctors think my baby is stretching out my ligaments. When I stand for too long, the pain is so bad, but when I [...]

My 2 year old daughter is so cute. She says that she wants to be a doctor so she can help “mommy and the baby.” The other day, she took a stick and pointed it to my belly and said, “I am going to take the baby out!” She also says there’s a baby in [...]

Yes, I am happy that my baby is kicking a lot. It’s a wonderful reassurance that she’s in there and doing well. But ever since Labor Day (so appropriate!), she has been kicking HARD! Not the “oooh, it’s so cute to feel her flutter in there.” It’s the “OW! Who punched me in the belly?” [...]

The ultrasound shows we’re having a girl, but I never totally count on that until the baby actually arrives! My daughter wanted to name her “Brownie” but that’s out Giggles and Bubbles were also talked about.
Assuming we’re having a girl in 7 weeks, what names do you like the best from this list?
Sabrina
Sarah
Faith
Kate
Jade
Lucy

Okay friends…it’s hot out. We don’t have AC. Most weeks of the year, this is just fine, but for about 5-8 weeks in August and September it gets pretty hot in my house. Thankfully as I type I have a fan pointed to my body and am feeling comfy. Except for that feeling in my [...]

I’m almost 32 weeks pregnant now and I’m content with my weight gain (which has been about 30 pounds). It’s funny though, I find myself comparing myself to other pregnant women. If I see other women who have gained more weight, I think “Phew, I’m doing really good! Let me have a bowl of cookies [...]
