The excitement is kinda gone.
It's been so long since we've TTC'd that I truly forgot how emotionally exhausting it is.
Last cycle was a blow to us since we thought it was going to be our month. Even my pregnancy tests were, I feel, inconclusive. Not stark white negative but something was kinda there almost positive. As we all know, almost doesn't count.
So here we are, gearing up for

Registering the second time around isn't that exciting.
Let's get something clear - I'm not pregnant, at least not yet. This is the first official cycle of trying and I'm currently on CD 6. I won't ovulate for another week or so. I do feel surprisingly confident this time around. I don't know if it's the meditation or false hope. I would like to believe I truly think I'll
It's about that time.
To TTC.
I'm currently on CD 9 and I'll start tracking my ovulation in a couple of days. Ideally, I would've already been pregnant with Rainbow Baby #2 and possibly, would've given birth. Life is funny that way. You have an idea of how you want things to go and oops, not quite.
I'm excited. The more round preggo tummies I'm seeing, the more I want to be

Each time I say I'm going to update, I never do. So you know what? I'm going to start saying I'm going to update sooner and just do it. Yay for everyone!
But you don't care about how I'm doing. You want to know how The Artist Formerly Known as Yoda Bear is doing. Let's check in...

So what are you?
That was a question I often asked friends and fellow students who I couldn't figure out their racial identity. Racially-mixed children were rare back then. In a classroom full of kids who were Black, White, Latino, or Asian there was always one kid (and it was usually one kid) who was racially ambiguous.
Not so much anymore.
I've gone to college with people who biracial and not just

I'm butt hurt.
No, not butt-hurt like someone insulted me but I'm literally butt hurt. The one thing a lot of these pregnancy blogs and fellow mommies forget to tell me that when you breast-feed in the sitting up position, after a while, your butt hurts. And it's quite painful.
So I've been trying the laying down position. I don't particularly like that one but Yoda seems to dig it so
Today is HDBD. I took this picture late Monday night and I'm really glad I did since I've been sick lately. I'm really digging this top from Motherhood Maternity. I'm almost tempted to go out and buy a few more.
I've been meaning to add stats and here they are. Better late than never!
How far along? 27 weeks according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? Still no weight gain and probably with my newest

I've been introducing Yoda to a lot of different genres. I've been on a Public Enemy and Wu-Tang Clan kick as of late, much to the chagrin to M. It's not like he doesn't like both groups, because he does. He just thinks I'm encouraging our son to Fight the Power and he's not outside the womb yet. I have been playing a lot of Michael Jackson and The

We watched this video last night to mixed reaction. For the record, we didn't have a problem with the video itself or the technique. The issue I had mainly, was seeing the newborn. So tiny! So precious! A widdle baybee!

In a few months, I'm going to have one of those. Eek! I don't know how to handle something so small! The smallest thing

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
