Future Baby Mama

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

Could You Be Loved

http://youtu.be/_i-gcWdBUb8 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

Can It Be All So Simple?

http://youtu.be/7m148vZDwJA Swaddling. It seems simple enough as demonstrated: http://youtu.be/W4SnaQ1DVJM 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! http://youtu.be/uvqJ1mTkEuY 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

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 25*

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. According to babygaga.com: Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much

Like I Love You

http://youtu.be/FQ3slUz7Jo8 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

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

Playing Your Game, Baby

http://youtu.be/xRQIdpBAdTw So I decided to do a little splurge for this pregnancy. Probably the first of many. Remember this? Well, I decided to get them. You're probably wondering why in the hell did I decide to spend $50 on bellybuds instead of getting regular headphones and placing them on my tummy? Well, I wanted the option of walking around with the buds without trying to hold up a pair of headphones
