Today has been a MUCH better day, PRAISE GOD!
Church, followed by a picnic (in the rain, no less!) and a wonderful (and funny) servant auction. I really wish we’d been able to bid on one of the teens, but we’ll have to save up for it next year! Lorelei also had a fabulous time, playing [...]
Apparently, pregnancy might make me crazy. Actually, I’m pretty sure this is par for the course for most women who have found themselves pregnant for longer than they really ever expected to be. It’s weird, you get 2 weeks until your actual “due date” and you (by “you,” I mean “I”) get all expectant. Then, [...]
I finally took the initiative to look up what all of the hub-bub about this swine flu was about. Typically, I ignore the news and get only the utmost “important” things from family and friends. Some of you would say I’m not educating myself on the happenings of the world, but to be honest, I [...]
I’m still pregnant.
That, and the whole “she’ll come when she’s ready” thing? It’s getting old. Like a geezer in plaid pants and suspenders old.
That’s all for now. I’m going to go sit on a ball and read now.
No baby yet. *Sigh*
This week at my appointment, I’d really hoped they would’ve told me I had progressed SOMEHOW, that I was either dilated more (I’ve been 1 cm dilated since last week) or effaced. Something. But, there was no change. Steven will be going out of town soon and it scares me that I [...]
It’s crazy to not have a doctor appointment today. I’ve had my appointments on Tuesdays right after lunch pretty much since I became pregnant! I thought for sure I’d have trouble remembering the appointment, but then there’s the whole I DON’T GET OUT MUCH thing, so this is like my big outing. Yeh, sad, I [...]
“So, what kind of church is this?” My little younger brother asked of my approaching baptism.
“Oh, you know…the usual,” I replied, “black hooded capes and candles and stuff. You know..the usual.”
“Of course,” he said.
(NOTE: SARCASM)
This baptism was a little less nerve-wracking than my first - or, I would imagine, anyhow. I wore a cute little [...]
Apparently in one short week, I gained an entire 4 lbs. I’m seriously considering having them do another ultrasound to check to see if I somehow am now having twins…or maybe Aurora sprouted another head? A really really big head? But, really 120 lbs? Are you KIDDING me?
On the 6th (of [...]
35 weeks pregnant and….
116 pounds.
Baby is still head -down. She’s doing all swell in there and according to the last ultrasound (today) she’s growing nicely although for the life of me, I can’t remember how big she was. Is. Whatever. It was normal range, so I forgot and my dear husband pretends he never heard.
She [...]
It’s been ten days since my husband lost his job.
Ten days isn’t that long - but, it kind of is. It really is when you live in a one-income household that was pinching pennies to begin with. It really is when you had no backups. It really is when there isn’t a “nest egg” of [...]
