Play by play of the Birth of Greyson (warning: yucky details!)

It’s been a while since I wrote…and I figure it’ll be that way for a while now. I’m going to try to post in order so I don’t get messed up. But again, this is going to be a slow process. Lack of sleep, you understand.
Greyson was a rather ‘husky’ little boy. He was a [...]

Last Trimester…last week(s)…observations

1. Every time you call someone, you have to preface it by saying “No, no! I’m not calling to tell you I’m in labor!”
2. The last month will kick your butt! I’ve never been so uncomfortable in my life.
3. The last week or two before you deliver, you are constantly checking your underwear for something [...]

Week 37 Belly Picture

Originally uploaded by dragonfly_727

I’m running out of steam…missed last week because I just didn’t want.
The first trimester, you are exhausted. Second trimester is fine.
This last month has been really kicking my donkey. It’s a good thing I’ve been put on bed rest for the past 2 weeks.
It isn’t as bad as one would think. I [...]

As I said, I’m on bed rest now. It’s only the second day so it’s not so bad. I’ve gotten a lot of things done on the phone or by email. (Yes, I was a wee bit annoyed with the people on the other end…but that’s neither here or there.)
I think my [...]

Pre-Breastfeeding: getting yourself ready

Christmas – 1944
Originally uploaded by photo_history

I was at the doctor’s yesterday. While waiting to be examined, I picked up a book about breastfeeding. As I plan on breastfeeding Noodles, figured I need to bone up on some facts.
The chapter that caught my eyes was about ‘toughening up your nipples’. Hm. How could you NOT stop [...]

I totally missed last week’s belly picture. It was my first week back to work with the kids. I was SO tired.
I’m really starting to look and feel pregnant now. The stomach is stretching out more and more. As of right now, I don’t have stretch marks. But I [...]

I have about 2 and a half more months left.
I don’t know if I mentioned this before…but one doctor said I am one week ahead of what the first doctor said I would be due. So I might actually be 30 weeks today. But to keep it uniform, I’ll title my belly [...]

Week 28…feeling PREGNANT

Originally uploaded by dragonfly_727

I think as soon as I posted Week 27, I started to expand at an increasing rate. I know I am pregnant…but now I FEEL it. I waddle when I walk. My belly catches crumbs, liquid, or whatever I need a temporary place to rest it.
Noodles is moving around A LOT. My [...]

You know what I miss?

I am learning there are several things I have taken for granted during this pregnancy.
For example, I miss the following things:
1. Chicken: we used to love chicken in any form. But now, the texture of it…the taste…I don’t really like. I can still eat it, but the sauce has to mask the flavor of the [...]

Week 27…officially in our LAST trimester

I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. (Actually, it’s 27 or 28 weeks…depending on which doctor.)

I didn’t think I was ever going to get to the 3rd trimester…and here we are.
I just took this picture a few hours ago. May have unintentionally held in my tummy…because isn’t that what “they” always tell you [...]
