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 [...]

Besides having crazy weird dreams and now weighing 117 lbs (I gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks?!), pretty much everything still feels the same.  Same dry skin as 2 weeks ago (but not nearly as bad as 1st and 2nd trimester) - this is just normal dry skin - not the flesh eating sort that [...]

Hello!  Well, I was told that I should probably have a birth plan and, to be honest I did: Have a baby.  But, the greater forces that be didn’t think that was good enough, so I logged on to a website that basically made one for me.  I threw that one away.  It was like [...]

I can’t be sure I’ve really accomplished much, seeing as how my lists just keep growing and growing. I would just throw half the list away if it weren’t for the I MUST DO THIS OR THE WHOLE WORLD WILL COLLAPSE ON ME AND EAT MY EYEBALLS type of feeling I get. Suddenly, [...]

Lots of little things, in list form.  Because I love lists.
1.  This morning, I thought it might be a great time to just add to my hectic schedule try again with the potty training.  I’ve been watching Lorelei for months and she seems MOSTLY ready, it’s just doing it.  I went back and forth with [...]

**Sidenote:  The crazy hair?  Yes, that’s because AFTER I got undressed, I realized that OH CRAP I need to take a photo!  So, I redressed and kind of forgot to check my hair.  Oh well.
Today, you kids are getting a special treat, a photo with my belly AND face.  Don’t you just feel special?  You [...]

Okay, I’m not really dying.  Well, maybe I’m not - one can never really be too sure.  (Kidding, don’t call 911 on me.)
In the past week, the urge to “nest” has hit hard and strong.  I’m talking like in a CRAZY way.  Imagine all of the “weekend projects” normal couples would try to fit into [...]

A list of stuff I need to buy within in the next 10 weeks. Or, maybe I should make that 6-8 weeks because DOOD. WHAT IF SHE’S EARLY?
1.

Gerber 2 pack gowns ($9.99) (2 packs of these) - We only had a few of these with Lorelei and OMG I loved them. Seriously, [...]

Okay, so I did it.  I took the leap.  I’m going to blogHer.  It’s officially official.  See?

Now, who else is going? (I want to know!)
….
In other, but equally exciting news:
BABY, BACK OFF.  STOP HORSING AROUND, YOU HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST 8 MORE WEEKS.  IT’S THE RULES.
Contractions.  At 5 am.  Relatively regular contractions.  Very painful [...]

I could probably actually do without posting this, seeing as how nothing is really new this week - but, then I’d kick myself later when I couldn’t find it while trying to look back.  So, I’ll list even the mundane just so I have something to go back to since I’m not keeping it noted [...]
