Baby Update – 39 Weeks!

03/04/15 | pregnancy, pregnancy week-by-week

Baby-update-39-weeks

So I had hoped that last week's Baby Update would be my last one. It wasn't. I'm still here, and I'm still pregnant! How far along: 39 weeks! Soooooo close! Baby size: Lil’ Ziggy is about 7.5 lbs and around 20 inches according to Babycentre. Belly: You can definitely see a difference between last week and this week, I think. Not that I'm any bigger, but I feel like my belly is really ...

Pregnancy at its end: a mixed bag of emotions

03/02/15 | parenting, pregnancy

pregnancy-mixed-emotions

My pregnancy is almost over. I can't even say it's been a long nine months. In reality, it's flown by way faster than I thought it would. Each month slipping by before I could even stop and check one of the many "pregnancy checklists" you see online. Each month flying past, over so soon that I have barely had time to really analyze my feelings. So here is my attempt at that now, with ...

Baby Update – 38 Weeks!

Baby Update 38 Weeks

I'm getting to the end of my pregnancy. This could very well be my last Baby Update!  How far along: 38 weeks. I'm counting the days now! Baby size: Lil' Ziggy is about 6.8 to 7 lbs. He's pretty much just putting on weight rather than growing longer now. Belly: The belly is pretty much at its limit, I don't think there's much room to grow now. Here is (hopefully?) what could be my last ...

My Birth Plan – Part 2

02/21/15 | parenting, planning, pregnancy

My Birth Plan

Disclaimer: If you haven’t read Part 1 of my Birth Plan, please check it out. It explains why I chose to write a birth plan and how I hope it will help me during the birth experience. It also explains that my birth plan is flexible, meaning I’m not going to allow myself to get into an unsafe situation because I want to stick to the plan so badly. Birth plans can be a touchy subject and often work ...

Baby Update – 37 Weeks!

02/18/15 | pregnancy, pregnancy week-by-week

37 weeks pregnant

How far along: 37 weeks Baby size: Lil Ziggy is about 6.5 lbs and almost 20 inches long. Belly: The phrase that comes to mind is "comically spherical". Ignore the hair. I work from home now :) Clothes: I like this work-from-home thing, and here's why: I'm still in my pjs! I'll put on real clothes for tonight's Ash Wednesday service, but then it's right back into the sweats. This is ...

I made this: Valentines Cheesecake!

02/16/15 | Cooking and Baking, Holidays

It’s been a very busy weekend. In my mad dash to finish the nursery AND start taking cloth diaper pictures for my planned review series, I managed to completely flop on Valentines Dinner. A lovely roast beef with potatoes, brussels sprouts (we like them, ok?) and Yorkshire pudding sadly turned into an overdone crock pot roast with peas and mashed potatoes. And no Yorkshire pudding, because ...
