24 Weeks: What’s Up Doc?

May 18, 2012
Doc

[Baby KERF 20 weeks!] So far I’ve been really luckily that other than that 7 week scare, things in my pregnancy have gone smoothly thus far. My doctor visits occur once a month (for now) and are pretty basic: weight, blood pressure, urine sample, chat with doctor, heartbeat listen (!), and now, fundal height measuring. [...]

When I first started thinking about what kind of items I wanted for our baby, everything was totally neutral and beige. The Snugabunny Swing Snugabunny Sleeper Black/grey carseat A silver diaper bag But this is a good reason to create a registry early. When I looked at all of the items together, they just looked [...]

24 Weeks: Fatherhood Part II

May 16, 2012

Overall I feel like fatherhood is going to be a learning experience for me even more than my child!  But there are several things I’m particularly looking forward to doing with him: Cooking – When I was a kid I would try to help in the kitchen, but I didn’t really do too much, and [...]

IMG_0584

6 months! 6 months!!!! 3 more months to go right!? Not really : ) Who was the person to declare generic pregnancy as 9 months? Whatever the case, 16 weeks, give or take, to go! I remember being 16 weeks along just a few days ago. Time is a’flyin’. Highlights My belly button is getting [...]

24 Weeks: Fannnntastic

Before2

TO-DO: Deal with fan Yay – another task removed from the to-do list!!! After! My thought process here involved lots of options: 1) Replace fan totally with a light fixture (something like this) 2) Then I decided to keep the fan because of the air flow benefits. 3) Paint the fan a funky color or [...]

I am now the proud owner of a rainbow of ribbed maternity tanks for Old Navy. I love these for layering, working out, and sleeping!! Soft, comfy and long. Inexpensive too! And see this little guy? He’s the happy big-brother-to-be. He is 9 inches from crown to paw. My baby is supposedly just about a [...]

23 Weeks: Surprises

May 11, 2012

Things that have surprised me about being pregnant: 1) That you spend over half of your pregnancy without a bump. I’ve mentioned this before, but it was really so unexpected. I never really given much thought to the process of pregnancy. I knew ~9+ months and 40 weeks, but if you had said “I’m 16 [...]

From Conception To Birth   Someone shared the above video with me a while back and I just recently re-watched it (twice!) It is the magic of conception to birth shown in some pretty incredible digital images. I think my favorite one, though, is the one of the baby inside of the mother’s body.  It’s [...]

23 Weeks: Pregnant In America

May 9, 2012

Matt and I were flipping through Netflix on Saturday night and I found this saved in my queue. We watched The Business of Being Born back at 11 weeks, and then this one, and we feel that both of them are majorly biased and overdramatized. The couple in this film spoke of OBs and hospitals [...]
