I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda Week 10*

Hello, hello! We're going to do the week-by-week pregnancy a little different for the time being. Since Yoda is measuring a little small, I'm going to do the pregnancy weeks by LMP (last menstrual period) until Yoda catches up. If Yoda somehow measures ahead, I'll still do it by LMP. What's Yoda's size this week? According to baby-gaga.com: Your astonishingly tiny baby has been growing as fast as possible, almost doubling in size

[youtube=http://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ]   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

Keep It In The Closet

  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?

I’m Lovin’ It: Yoda – Week 8

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)!

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

Fancy: Bellybuds

When I was pregnant with Ethan, I used regular headphones to play music for him. I introduced him to Keith Sweat, Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, and classical music. I also had Maks speak Russian to him on a daily basis so Ethan would learn Russian and be familiar with Maks's voice. Needless to say we're going to do the same with Yoda, even though I think Yoda might
