Today is the day of the big 20 week ultrasound! To say I'm excited to see my sweet little one's face would be an understatement, of course. I can't wait to hear if he or she has both kidneys (I o...

Alright. Time to be honest and vent a little because I'm frustrated and that's what diaries are for, right? So I had my 19 week appt this week and the NP was great, as usual. She was happy with ...

Wow! Thank you for all of the feedback on the last entry. It certainly drove the point home about why the majority of people choose to find out their baby's gender. You guys had so many helpful i...

So, after asking our due date, the next question I always get is "So when do you get to find out the gender?!" This has irked me more & more every time the question is repeated as we don't pl...

Do you know what love looks like? It looks like a big cold bowl of frozen yogurt hand delivered by your sister when you're too sick to move off the couch. It looks like a restocked refrigerator w...

Today was one of those days at work. Busy, nonstop, endless list of things to do, always feeling behind. I was racing from when I clocked in just before 7 AM to when I clocked out just after 8 PM...

So the First Trimester Screening appointment was today and it went great! So far nothing came back concerning but I will get formal blood results and ultrasound reports next week. Nothing alarmin...

My sister and I decided to last minute sign up for a 10K race just to challenge ourselves and keep us strong as we get more pregnant. We felt good throughout - definitely a solid minute/mile slow...

I don't even know where to start with this. As many of you will remember, I had requested bringing a high risk obstetrician into my care planning after my initial positive pregnancy test. My OBGY...

After writing yesterday and running my scenario by some coworkers, it was evident I would need to call in for work today. I did that before going to bed and immediately felt better. I knew I woul...

So a few weeks ago I was rushing to get out the door with my mom and our feet got entangled and she ended up stomping firmly on both of my big toes. It hurt like a beast at the time but I sucked ...

I can't get over how much I'm eating lately! I have to eat as soon as I wake up as the nausea starts the instant my consciousness becomes aware. An hour or two after that, I need another small me...

I can't get over how much of an abrupt and enormous life change pregnancy has been already. I'm not even seven weeks in and everything feels different. My sleep schedule is gone. I crawl into be...

I remember when I really little, still being cuddled and rocked to sleep and sang to at night, and my mom would hum "You Are My Sunshine" to me in the still darkness. She would sing the lyrics so...

So things seem to be going well! I've been quite nauseous most of the weekend and my food aversions are out of control. I'm being repulsed by some of my favorite foods and as sad as that may make...

So I headed over to my sister's place on Monday, a cleverly designed 'workout date' that I'd insisted we make just so I could tell her. I brought along all of her other gifts - a beautiful rainbo...
