I officially hit the uncomfortable sleep stage. It hurts to sleep on my sides, no matter how many times I roll over. And it takes me forever to go to sleep because somebody wants to start playing kick-ball when I'm resting. He particularly likes to punch my bladder. Ugh.boo.hiss.
In other news, I found a onesie that I just adore! I added it to my registry but I might end

I have a love-hate relationship with my in-laws. Come to think of it, I have a love-hate relationship with both families - mine and M's. There are a lot of things that occur with both families I have an issue with that no matter how much I voice my displeasure, it seems: 1) No one cares; or 2) People care but not nearly to the point where they actually

I finally chose my baby shower invite. I had it customized so I'm hoping my hosts have made their final decision because I ain't changin' this.
[caption id="attachment_287" align="aligncenter" width="300"] This is a sample invite, btw.[/caption]
I decided to combine two of my favorite things: purple and leopard print. Those who know me will tell you this invite fits my personality.
I'm a little nervous about sending out the baby shower invites.
This is a picture from last Thursday. I've been doing a lot of sleeping lately so when I feel to take a Week 25 pic, I'll submit here. Probably on Friday.
This kid is all belly. I've only gained one pound within the past two weeks. Yeah, one pound. Blame that on the fact my family history is jacked up (high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, cancer, just

As you may already know, we're having a boy. We nicknamed him Yoda due to the Star Wars theme we're doing for his nursery (which I quickly need to get started on). We have a list of boy names and to be honest, we really don't know which one is the winner. We had a list of names with Ethan (though I was determined to name him Jordan) and
Truth to be told, I'm technically speaking in the third trimester already. Yoda's body is measuring a whopping two weeks ahead and his head is a month ahead. A whole month? You know that means? That means big-ass baby.
But both of my doctors are going by LMP, so we're sticking to that. Let's check in to see how he's doing.

Today is Hump Day Bump Day (HDBD, for short) and I decided to include a special one:
You may have noticed a couple of things: 1) the asterisk next to 24 weeks. I'm 24 weeks according to LMP, but I was measuring ahead according to my last OB appointment. But we're going by LMP just to make it easier and I don't like debating which due date is what.

So much has happened since I last checked in! Lots and lots of great news!
First things first - the major news: surpassing Ethan's gestation loss and reaching viability. To be honest, I never thought I would see those two milestones. It's huge. Reaching and surpassing Ethan's lost was very emotional. Reaching viability was equally emotional. This pregnancy finally feels real. I'm going to be a Mommy! M is going
You know what day it is? Viability! Woo-hoo! This is a huge, HUGE milestone! Let's check in on Yoda Bear:
According to babygaga.com:
It's another week full of exciting developments for your magical growing baby!
Just take a look at the checklist for this week: 1) ears: done; 2) fingernails: done; 3) (if you have a boy) testicles: taking their 3-4 day trip from the abdominal wall to the scrotum; and 4)

It's Hump Day Bump Day! Wanna see what I look like now? Let's gooooooooooooo!
I started tagging my photos for fear of trolls. I don't think anyone would do that since I'm also well-known in other areas of the web. Still, the prevalence of Catfish and the like, I have to be a bit cautious.
No weight gain at all! Remember when I said my weight gain has been less than
