Is 6-8 weeks enough time for the working Mom on maternity leave? To someone that has never been pregnant I think that sounds like a substantial amount of time. I don't mean it to sound like all the sudden I'm some kind of "know it all" but I do know when I had no interest in babies or being pregnant...

Today I am feeling incredibly nauseous. I need to fight it because I have a meeting at school, chores to do, and a 30 minute walk. I'm not skimping out on the walk just because I don't feel well. I have been using anti-nausea wrist bands - some people use them for traveling when they get seasick. It...

Today I had a training class for a new program from 9-2:30. It seems as if in the morning I have more energy. By about 2 yesterday I was done for! I could hardly focus; I just kept wondering when it would be time to go home because I was so exhausted. We were sitting in littl...

I think I may have gotten "too low" on the dance floor last night. We got home about 1 am which always makes me feel rough the next day while I've been pregnant. Lack of sleep makes me feel like I've been hit by a truck the following morning. My underbelly has been killing me and I'm sure it's becau...

Today was a friend's wedding. I've been asked a lot throughout the pregnancy if I miss alcohol. Sometimes I miss a good old rum and diet coke but for the most part I don't miss it at all. Especially for me, after even just two drinks I tend to have a hangover the next day. I will NEVER miss that...

This morning I had to drop off my dog, Maddie to be sedated. She tenses up so much around the vet and she's already solid muscle that the vet has been unable to determine if she has a torn ACL. I don't know if you remember from previous posts but since early July I have had to confine one of my blac...

Today I went to the doctor for a "just in case visit." Last night I had a terrible night of yes, more pain. I had just gone on a walk and when I got home had what felt like a contraction (just really low, painful cramping and it went into my back) for about 30 seconds. I ended up having a total o...

I read some interesting things today about being pregnant at 32 weeks. Typically the baby is now head down towards the vaginal canal in preparation for delivery. It is also getting increasingly smaller in there and in the next few weeks I will probably not be feeling the baby do nearly as many acr...

There are a lot of things I was unaware of before becoming pregnant. Take bedding in the crib for example, bumpers are frowned upon now a days. My friend who recently had a baby took a tour of the hospital the month before she was to deliver and they told her not to have bumpers in the crib. She ...

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY, 8/15, Sunday: I was right in the middle of my drama at the baby shower. My husband was splitting his time between a work dinner and the baby shower and needless to say, once the power went out I called him as quickly as I could. There was no way my dogs were staying in that...
