Playing Your Game, Baby

http://youtu.be/xRQIdpBAdTw So I decided to do a little splurge for this pregnancy. Probably the first of many. Remember this? Well, I decided to get them. You're probably wondering why in the hell did I decide to spend $50 on bellybuds instead of getting regular headphones and placing them on my tummy? Well, I wanted the option of walking around with the buds without trying to hold up a pair of headphones

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

http://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ I could've sworn I had a post with this title already. Maybe not. I love me some Daft Punk. I'm telling you, Yoda is gonna be a Daft Punk baby. A lot has happened since my cerclage. I went for my post-cerclage visit a week after and everything looks great so far. I received two stitches, one is a bit higher than the other. Double stitched for the 2013. We

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda Week 15

Yes, I know I'm late with the bump post and update. I was sleeping just about all week and I finally caught that second trimester energy that I have been missing! Yay! So how's Yoda doing? Let's check! According to babygaga.com: Your adorable four-inch break-dancer is busy cutting a rug inside their dance studio, even if you still can't feel it.

Secret

http://youtu.be/EPHUZenprKc The interesting thing about keeping a secret is wondering how long you can keep it for before either: 1) someone finds out, or 2) you explode and you have to share it with someone.

I really don't want to go to the hospital. But I know if I want Yoda to bake and most importantly, I want to meet him/her in November, it's a necessary procedure. I'm nervous. I'm scared. What if it
