If you remember from this post, blog reader Stephanie passed on her collection of cloth diapers to me (she was finished using them) in a huge recycling effort.

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
