How to get through Difficult Pregnancy
Question: I have a friend who is pregnant–she is about 6 months or so. She is very frustrated. She feels like nobody understands what she is going through. I think she needs therapy or something. What can I do as a friend to help? Can you write back or write a blog about it. Maybe [...]
I’m Back and Missing Body Parts
December has been such a crazy month. Two surgical procedures within weeks of one another? Ooo wee! First was getting my wisdom teeth cut out the first week of December and I have to say that was an insufferable hell to live in. Just when things had started to get better, last weekend I began [...]
Week 40
Hello everyone! This is the big week! (I hope). I’m hoping baby Jack Jack and my body cooperate and grant my wishes. As of last week I was still dilated at 0 so my doctor and I started talking about induction. If he’s not here this week, next week he would like to thin out [...]
Is He Here Yet?
I’m still here, Jack still in tact. Had my 38 week appointment today and the doc said the baby has dropped but my body has made no progress, no dilation. Damn damn. I’ve tried everything I know .. sex, squats .. no help. I REALLY don’t want to be medically induced! Yeah life is miserable [...]

There’s a Watermelon in my Belly
I feel horrible.

It sucks! I don’t even feel like [...]
Boy or Girl?
Today is the day. Today I find out my baby’s sex (if the baby is willing to cooperate and not torture mommy any longer!) I’m so nervous. I feel like I’m going on a blind date with someone I’ve been getting to know over email and occasional phone calls for the past 4 months. Only [...]
I’m the Happiest Woman in the World! :)
I had an OBGYN appointment today .. listened to baby’s heartbeat, got my blood work done (which I actually survived ok except when I fainted afterward in the hallway for some reason? They’ll check the baby for Down Syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis through my blood) but .. I’m REALLY happy because next Thursday I GET [...]
