September 8, 2011

On my blog, I’m happy-go-lucky.  Things are usually upbeat and cheery.  Why? Because that’s how I am in real life. I know, you thought I was going to say something about ‘staying real’, but sorry to be annoying- happy ‘me’ is the real me! However… 2 day overdue ‘me’ isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. And [...]

What I Ate…on my Due Date

September 7, 2011

Well, it wasn’t the muffins. Any other ideas? I’m quickly finding it difficult to focus on anything other than going into labor.  I know- it’s only one day past my due date, but it’s amazing how minutes seem like hours. Even my instincts are acting all funny. Proof? I’m not that interested in food.  Sometimes [...]

The Cruel Irony

September 5, 2011

I hope everyone is enjoying their 3 day weekend!

August 25, 2011

Or more specifically, 38 weeks…and 2 days. And getting very excited! Exercise I’ve skipped the gym lately and instead have been enjoying neighborhood walks with Koda, plus my yoga.  My walk pace is slow, but it always feels good to get out and move.  I stretch at home, bounce on my ‘birthing’ ball and will [...]

August 18, 2011

As I’m sitting here in the glider in Baby D’s nursery (which is quickly becoming my favorite new work spot),  I am getting more and more eager to meet this precious little one that is making my belly bounce and roll.

What {we} Ate Wednesday

August 3, 2011

It’s true what they say- first trimester symptoms start to make a return during the late third trimester.  I find myself a little queasy at time and drawn to starchy carbs and fruits over fat and protein.  I’m eating small meals more regularly because sitting down to a large meal does not sound appealing.  Just [...]
