I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 23*

http://youtu.be/-IHcp8Pl_X4 I'm in Week 23 of pregnancy! Let's see how Yoda bear is doing! According to babygaga.com: Your little womb hi-jacker is starting to kick their break-dance party up a notch now that his/her ears are registering sounds from the outside world! The sound of a phone ringing (or that catchy ring tone), a thunder clap, or a car honking will actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent

Fight the Power

[youtube=http://youtu.be/8PaoLy7PHwk] I was looking at onesies last night. I wanted one specifically to be Yoda's "Coming Home from the Hospital" onesie and others for fun. I saw one that caught my attention. With the recent Trayvon Martin verdict, it struck a chord with me. I have a nephew, he'll be 15 this year, and he reminds me a lot of Trayvon. When the verdict was announced, I couldn't help but

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 22*

http://youtu.be/-IHcp8Pl_X4 There's an asterisk because I'm officially measuring eight days ahead (23w1d). However, I'll keep the gestation weeks based on LMP (Last Menstrual Period). According to babygaga.com: Congratulations! You’re now housing a human who weighs nearly a pound and measures nearly a foot in length! Your wee babe's perfect little pancreas (a super-duper organ that produces hormones and aids in digestion) is now making its own hormones for your baby's body and brain! If

My Sacrifice

http://youtu.be/O-fyNgHdmLI "Keep up the good work. I know you had to sacrifice a lot for this pregnancy." Those were the words my OB told me yesterday. I met one really crucial milestone and that was surpassing the gestation where I lost Ethan. Yoda is measuring ahead and it's just a huge relief. I haven't really put a lot of thought about this pregnancy and everything I'm sacrificing until he made that

Future Baby Mama…lazy edition

Today is Hump Day, Bump Day or HDBD for short. I'm feeling hella lazy today so I'm not sure when I'll make my way to the bathroom for a picture. Instead, here's a picture from last Friday when I was about to have a lunch date with a friend. I'm really glad I'm past the 'Fat or Pregnant?' stage and my bump is finally bigger than my booty.

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 21

http://youtu.be/-IHcp8Pl_X4 According to babygaga.com: Your beautiful little miracle-gro baby will be putting on a full ounce and a half this week. And that's just the beginning! Within the next five weeks, they'll really be packin' it on as they start to gain fat! For now, we’re pleased to report the addition of rapid eye movement (REM); a key component to any healthy baby's sleep schedule, that indicates they're now capable of dreaming. Over in

So Appalled

http://youtu.be/zUjO8cy-B9A   I'm part of a November Moms 2013 group on Facebook. It's a secret and many of the mothers-to-be there know my story with Ethan and this pregnancy. While I do keep them up-to-date with my progress, I also limit how much I tell them. One, I'm a little uncomfortable discussing my IC when none of them have it. I'm all for bringing awareness to IC and the treatment I'm

Filed Under WTF?

I should probably start a new category for this blog. Things pregnancy-related that just make no damn sense. This gem, I found online. If you ever needed a reason why I refuse to have a cake at my baby shower...   I have to admit the creativity of this...
