Any Day Now
Eagerly anticipating baby’s arrival
I wasn’t expecting to be writing an entry this week. I thought I would have a little baby to be snuggling with, but that is not the case. I’m one day away from my estimated due date and 40 weeks pregnant— as I sit here and write you...drinking my raspberry tea!
Eight Days Till Due Date
Staying Healthy and Active
A week has gone by since my last appointment with my midwife and I’m still here, and still pregnant! With eight days to go till my due date, I’m getting pretty anxious.
End-stage Pregnancy
Water Retention, Baby Showers, & Staying Active
Another week has gone by and I’m still here, and yep, you guessed it, still pregnant! I’ve had a pretty good week, but the extra weight and water retention is in full swing now and really starting to make a difference in my look and feel!

Playing the Waiting Game
Necessary Procedures & Frequent Flyer Miles
As I approach week 36 of my pregnancy, there is a lot on my mind.

Getting Near the End!
Packing for the Hospital, Cloth Diapers, and More
As I write this, I’m about five weeks away from my due date! The end of pregnancy is often the time when moms report feeling like time has slowed to a crawl. I am wondering when that is going to kick in, because I feel like this pregnancy is FLYING by!
33 Weeks – Listening To Your Body
Getting Sick, and New Aches & Pains
The last time I called into work for being sick was probably six or seven years ago...till now. They say being pregnant can lower your immune system— and I believe it!
32 Weeks
Preparing for Baby, Mentally and Physically!
This week, I'd like to talk about a couple things— 1) My birth plan and “mentally” preparing for baby, and 2) Reasons why it's good to work out during your pregnancy!
31 Weeks – Not Long Now
Adjusting to a growing belly, healthy cravings & nesting
This Friday, I will be entering my 32nd week of pregnancy! It's really strange to think we could have a little human here in 8 weeks, give or take.
