A Broken Heart
Today I went in for my final heart “check-up” at Stanford. If you remember, we had a check up back in July and then we’d had another one in October. Everything was normal at both, but the doctors wanted to see my heart one more time approximately one month before delivery. It is rare they get…

Corn Maze
*DISCLAIMER* Yes, I have been TERRIBLY remiss in posting – I have loads of belly shots, funny stories and even pictures from our Denver trip. We’ve just been swamped the past few weeks! So here is a teaser from today – and a belly shot at the end!* Our third annual corn maze was…

Showered
I am completely overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of love we’ve received. I spent yesterday recouping from all the weekend excitement and unloading all the gifts from the car. Oliver and I are completely speechless as the wonderful and thoughtful gifts people gave to our bundle. We’ve read through every note in every book for…

Celebrating a Life
This past Saturday was filled with blessings beyond measure! My mother hosted a beautiful baby shower for me, with the help of some of her friends and some of mine. She really wanted my input into the shower, so it was wonderful to see it all come together and feel that it really represented who…

Mini adventures
Well this week has held a few of its own bumps and bruises, but we are still going strong! Tuesday I realized how “alien” my own body really is to me when I went to sit down and only caught the edge of the chair. This resulted in me crashing to the ground with the…

Taking Some Peeks!
So sorry it has been so long between posts. Really, nothing much eventful has been happening (thank goodness!). I do have belly shots from the past two weeks, but they are on hubby’s phone and he hasn’t sent them to me yet *hint hint!* Tomorrow he is 25 weeks – if born now he would…

Song Lyrics
Songs mean a lot to me. I have songs that remind me of certain “eras” of my life, ones with lyrics that I attribute to people in my life and some that helped me through difficult times. I have songs I turn up loud and sing at the top of my longs while driving down…

Down and out!
As many of you have read already, my back problems have been amplified by the squish. Physical therapy 3x a week is helping, but sleeping is still quite painful (whoever thought they would describe sleep that way, and so early in a pregnancy!). They have a pillow they put me on at PT that does…

22.5 Weeks
Yes yes, I fell off the bandwagon and had to do a “half week” again. I can blame the trip to the ER for throwing off my week, right? Or the fact that I opened my private practice back up for the fall session this week? All quite valid excuse… er… reasons. Right? *smile* …

Happy for “Nothing”
Baby Boy kicks all day, usually quieting in the afternoon to take his “nap”. He kicks anything goes across my tummy, so it’s a good way to induce a kick if Oliver wants to feel him. Just yesterday morning I woke up to Oliver’s hand creeping under the blankets and over to my tummy. A…
Got any book recommendations?
