Every month on the 13th, I take a moment to reflect. If I can't spend the day alone, I usually find a quiet area to just decompress and reflect: where I have been, where I am, where I am going.
Ethan was born on December 13, 2011. That date is permanently tattooed on my brain.
It's been 17 months since he went to Heaven and I've thought about Ethan more during

Mother's Day has a new meaning for me. Not necessarily a happy one.
Last year, it was supposed to be my first Mother's Day with a newborn. That didn't happen. Instead, it was my first Mother's Day and I didn't have a baby to show for it. I vividly recall I spent my day in hiding, away from phone and any social media. I didn't want to be flooded with
Great news! Yoda finally caught up! My EDD is back to the original - 11/18. So flippin' excited!
So what's Yoda up to this week? Let's find out!
According to The Bump:
Things are changing fast. You’re reaching the home stretch of the first trimester (we know, finally!) at 12 weeks which means your hormones are likely to tone things down a bit -- which might make you feel a little less

It's been a while since I've updated on the health front. Truth to be told, I've just been too exhausted to update. If I'm not sleeping, I'm trying to sleep. I can go to bed at one in the morning and wake up like it's nothing five hours later. Needless to say, I've been taking a lot of much-needed naps. In fact, I took one today. I was planning
Over the past several weeks, Maks and I have gone back and forth on whether we wanted to find out the sex of Yoda. I wanted to find out because it'll be easier for the registry. Well, registries since there's more than one. I think I'm at three now and I'm not sure if I started one at Babies R Us. Wait a minute, am I at three registries?
Today I officially start month three of pregnancy. I would be happier if I wasn't so damn nauseated all the time.
Let's check Yoda's progress!
According to Alphamom:

Today marks week eight into my pregnancy! Just one more week until I actually hit three months. Sweet! Let's check out Yoda's progress:
According to baby-gaga.com:
Woohoo! You've got one whole inch of baby inside of you!
Your little embryo has finally reached the one-inch mark (30mm)!
What's more, your baby is finally starting to take on some very distinct human features. For starters, their little tail (really just the spinal cord) has

"...that stitches stuff foxxy is getting..."
It's a phrase that's been on my mind for the past half-hour or so. I'm hoping when I'm finished typing, it would be out of my mind so I can concentrate on the rest of my day. We'll get to that phrase that doesn't pay in a minute but first...
So I had my first prenatal appointment this past Tuesday. Yoda is measuring a little
Today marks me seven weeks gestation in my pregnancy! Only one more week until I hit three months! Sweet!
Let's check out Yoda's progress, shall we?
According to What To Expect When You're Expecting:
At 7 weeks pregnant, your baby's length is approximately a quarter of an inch — the size of a blueberry. Sounds pretty tiny still? Consider this for a little perspective: Your baby is 10,000 times bigger now than it
