I just saw my MFM this past Friday and Yoda is measuring 35 weeks. Yeah, me thinks I'll be giving birth sooner than later. I will update on that in a later post. For now, let's check to see how Mr. Yoda Bear is doing.

We saw our MFM this past Friday. I also received another NST. Yoda bear is doing fabulous and great! We got a great pic of him when he wasn't trying to cover his face with an arm. He officially has Mommy's lips. Oh dear. My son is going to be a heartbreaker. I need to get out the shovels and shotguns. Forget daddies being protective of their little girls;

I've been totally slacking on sharing things I have purchased for Yoda bear. I will show you a few things I did receive recently via mail or the baby shower.
Let's start off with the major purchase (probably the most expensive one) for Yoda bear - his stroller:
After doing a lot of research both online and word of mouth, I decided to splurge (and really, it was a splurge!) on

This is a letter I wrote to my son after the baby shower last Sunday.
Dear Yoda,
Today was a big day. We had a baby shower in your honor. I finally revealed that I'm pregnant with you and received a lot of support and overwhelming love. I spoke of your brother and you. I decided that I really liked the name, Bogdan, and that will probably be your name when
This FBM post is special because I get to debut two pictures from the weekend. A few of you may have already seen these since I finally "announced" on Facebook and Instagram. (More on that in a later post).
Here is a picture from my maternity photo shoot:
We were in my hometown of Palm Springs, CA. I specifically asked I wanted a photo where the mountains and palm trees were
I'm a day late and dollar short, but I had a super fun weekend. I'll post details on that later. For now, let's check in on Yoda Bear.
According to babygaga.com:
In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature!
Which means you’re likely to get a swift kick if you put a hot pad or bag of ice on your ginormous belly.
For the Elton John lovers
It's a bit late this week to make up for the post last week. Here's a shot of me:
And another shot:
How far along? 31 weeks, according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? None. No weight gain at all entire pregnancy.
Symptoms: None really. No more nausea but I’m really monitoring how much I eat.
Mood: Very tired. Just tired.
Sleep: On a very weird schedule. My average bed time is 2 AM but I'm trying to go to
Though I'm well into my eighth month of pregnancy, we're still going by LMP until I give birth, whenever that is. Let's check to see how Yoda is doing now!
According to babygaga.com:
This week, your amazing growing baby is around 3 pounds and 17 inches tall.
With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's wrinkly raisin skin starts to look more and more like it will when they're born.

I have spent a small fortune on this child so far. I'm not really into designer labels or fashions, though I occasionally splurge on a very nice handbag or jewelry. I think it's something I've inherited from my grandmother and mother. They've always had nice jewelry and things, neither believing in putting it on credit. They both figured if they really wanted something, they would save up to afford

The thing about being pregnant after a loss is dealing with anxiety. You're always wondering 'what if...?' and you're never quite comfortable being pregnant, no matter how far along you are. Unless you've had a late loss, unless you've had multiple miscarriages, unless you know the pain of pregnancy loss, you can't relate. You can't sympathize, you can't empathize, you simply can't. Being an angel mom is something no
