All things being equal, I thought I would write a wrap up post, like I did for the last time. Here is the first one: The Whole Kit & Kaboodle. We start off this journey with, Let’s Celebrate! Where I announced the anticipated arrival of our second child. After that I didn’t update the blog on …
So breastfeeding, the second time around…I have to say, at three months, it’s not so bad. Gasp! (right?) If you don’t remember my last post about it, here it is: Breastfeeding Sucks (Period). With a title like that, I’m sure you can imagine my sentiments. Even when I was ending the whole experience I wasn’t that heartbroken. I was …
The rest of the story… We have a healthy baby boy that fed like a champ for the first time. Boy can the child scream! Much louder than L.L. at that age. Then I broke a fever. When I was admitted into labor and delivery I had a low grade fever of 99˚, no one seemed …
Yes, you should be reading that in your head to Europe’s catchy tune! Tomorrow I’m officially 39 weeks. It’s a busy week, and as I said in the last post, I think that baby boy is waiting on Grammy and Papi to arrive on Thursday. That is a good thing. My biggest day is tomorrow. Let the …
Hello – hello – I’m still here and pregnant! To be completely honest I am beginning to overcome all the pain that I last explained to you. Well, maybe it’s best described as acceptance, as the days tick by and I’m still living in achy crotch land. I gotta tell ya that the Braxton Hicks are still …
A dear friend of mine, McKenna, offered to throw me a shower for the arrival of our baby boy. I was so grateful and surprised, that I couldn’t help but get myself extra excited for it. She is one of the good ones, you know, the friend that you realize is going to be there …
Seriously, could this pregnancy be going any faster!? I feel like I have missed most of it. Even though, that isn’t true, I just haven’t and the time to think about it. Much less dwell on the negatives or positives. This time around everything has been intensified. My moods, my pain, the baby movement and …
With your first pregnancy everything is special. You are wide eyed at all the new experiences and each tiny change is such a big deal that you forget about life outside of the pregnancy. When you are pregnant for the second time you know everything is changing, but there is little time to stop and …
This week I am officially 22 weeks through this pregnancy. My trusty app tells me that I have 126 more days to go. I’m not sure if I think that is a lot or a cake walk… If you weren’t aware 20 weeks is the half way point. This time it came pretty quickly, but …
I thought that I would follow up a downer post with a very happy post. You are on the edge of your seat, right? So, my in-laws decided that this year they were going to visit us for their birthday’s. It’s quite the smart plan, considering they live in Colorado. Plus, we love having them …
