Woe is me.
Eh, not really.
Bo is just a little over three weeks old now and I've learned quite a bit since his birthday:
When people say, 'sleep when the baby sleeps', that's damn good advice.
I've questioned if being a mother was really in the cards for me. I've done it a few times, honestly.

Let's see it's been about three weeks since I've last updated. Well, a lot has happened since then. Namely this:
To fully tell the story, I have to backtrack a little so bear with me here.
Saturday, November 9
Over the weekend, I saw my OB and had a special trip to Labor & Delivery (L&D) for a NST since my blood pressure was becoming alarmingly high, mix in with a little

This kid is stubborn.
So it's been almost two weeks since my cerclage was removed and well, I'm still very much pregnant. It wasn't too bad except for when I suddenly fell sick. I didn't think it was a big deal but apparently my OB did. I saw him today and he checked me. The good news: Yoda is still locked and loaded. The bad news: He's not low enough

Future Baby Mama
For those wondering, Future Baby Mama is the title of a Prince song. I love Prince. Have you ever seen him perform in concert? Ah-mazing! You really need to go check him out sometime in this lifetime.
It's Hump Day, Bump Day...let's goooooooooo!

So much to do and so little time...
Or maybe a lot of time....who knows at this point?
I started researching babysitters/caretakers. Since I'm a writer, I plan to take a few weeks "off" to adjust to motherhood, but plan to be back in the swing of things come January. My situation is a bit different. Technically speaking I'm a SAHM (stay at-hom mom) but reality speaking, I'm not. I bring
Yep. Still preggo. Just waiting for Yoda bear to choose his birthdate. As I wait, let's check to see how he's doing.

I'm sure I used that title before.
Today I had my cerclage removed. It was an eventful day. Let's count the struggles...
My MFM's office usually calls the day before an appointment to confirm. I didn't get receive a call yesterday but I didn't pay too much attention to it and just thought it was an oversight. Heh. Note to everyone - if a doctor's office usually calls to remind you

Tomorrow is the big day.
The day I get my cerclage removed.
It's cray-cray to think that back in May, I posted about how nervous I was to get the cerclage implanted. Then I posted about how my recovery was going. Now I'm posting on the eve of its removal.
I never thought I would make it this far. Not that I was expecting the same thing that happened to Ethan to
Yes, I'm still preggo. I can still see my feet. I can still move reasonably. But it's still a struggle to get out of bed or turning over. If I stretch my legs, I'm risking a leg cramp and I've had a few already.
But the end is near. Praise Jesus.
Let's check to see how Yoda bear is doing...according to babygaga.com:

You know, I really need to start being more timely with these posts. I'm totally slacking. :P
Those are my new (read: expensive) glasses. I haven't updated my glasses since high school (seriously) and my contacts in five years. Well, my vision hasn't changed that much in terms of my contacts, but I'm sure they've changed pretty drastically with my glasses. M calls me his hipster wife. I wear that
