There are only twenty three days (approximately) standing between me and this little boy meeting face to face. Just a few more weeks, but I keep getting the feeling that it might be sooner than that. When I was pregnant with Baby J I was under the impression that he would be born early, mostly based on … Continue reading The Home Stretch

Lettuce Be Happy It’s Almost Over
Yuck! No joke, this week's baby update comes with some information I could have gone on without knowing. Welcome to week number thirty six! First of all, the thought of a human being the length of romaine lettuce being all cramped up inside my stomach gives me goosebumps. Here I was thinking that I'm uncomfortable. … Continue reading Lettuce Be Happy It’s Almost Over
Stubborn Little Honeydew
Okay, weird thought but try to imagine right now what a honeydew melon tastes like. Can you? Because for the life of me I cannot put my finger on what they taste like. I have eaten them plenty of times before and I can imagine what a peach and a pineapple taste like, but when it … Continue reading Stubborn Little Honeydew
Just A Little Cantaloupe
Sometimes I wish that the My Pregnancy app chose different shaped fruits and vegetables to relate Baby A to. For instance, this week he is relatively the size of a cantaloupe and the sheer thought of something melon shaped making it's way out of me is absolutely nerve racking. Obviously, I am aware that he won't … Continue reading Just A Little Cantaloupe
Braxton Hicks & Hospital Bags
Braxton Hicks contractions they call them. Practice contractions they say. Ugh! After two babies and a collective forty six hours of labor I think it is safe to say that I have practiced enough for this little one and my body should knock it off already with these darn Braxton Hicks. The other night I woke up … Continue reading Braxton Hicks & Hospital Bags
Excuse Me?
Maybe it's because two sick kids have kept me up for three nights in a row. Or perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I am in general discomfort day in and day out. It could even be because I'm hormonal, but more than likely it's because you are a jerk. Being … Continue reading Excuse Me?
Thirty Three Weeks
Only seven more weeks left in this adventure and this little baby is officially the size of a plump pineapple! I couldn't be more excited to be expecting this little bitty in less than two months, however, I did require some reassurance from my doctor the other day that I'm prepared for this. Maybe it … Continue reading Thirty Three Weeks
A Positive Spin
I've been such a negative Nancy for such a large portion of this pregnancy and the other day I sat down and made a list consisting of all the positives of being pregnant. Ugh! It should come as no surprise, after countless posts recounting my aches and pains from the last five months, that this pregnancy has … Continue reading A Positive Spin
The Name Game
Come on everybody! I say now let's play a game I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody's name The first letter of the name, I treat it like it wasn't there But a B or an F or an M will appear And then I say bo add a B then I … Continue reading The Name Game
Hey, Little Jicama
This week, week thirty two, in this never ending story of baby building my little veggie head is a jicama and in case (like me) you have absolutely no idea what a jicama is, let me explain. Apparently a jicama, also known as the Mexican yam bean or Mexican turnip, is just a tuberous root vegetable. So it's basically … Continue reading Hey, Little Jicama
