My Dear Precious Little Ladybug, Six weeks still seems like a long time until we meet, but when I was reading one of my update emails talking about “relaxing” as much as I can and saving up, eating up etc. for labor I realized you really are almost here. I think my “mommy paranoia” is…
Dear Little LadyBug, It’s my first Mother’s Day thanks to you. … I think. Well, we’re counting it as my Mother’s Day even though you’re not born yet. I had a long night at work last night and had totally forgot about the holiday. I got home close to midnight and your daddy was up…
Read Preparing for Labor: My Birth Wishes Part 1 here. My husband and I are 2/3s done with our Lamaze childbirth class. Although I thought I knew a lot about labor going into it, I’ve learned so much more. I know some people giggle at the idea of childbirth classes but I think they’re great,…
Dear LadyBug, It’s a little hard to believe, but we are now officially 8 months along. Every day I’m preparing for your arrival. Whether thinking about your birth day, organizing your room, or getting my rest now, it’s all in preparation for you! This week we made a milestone together… I felt your hiccups for…
When I first found out I was pregnant I couldn’t wait to get a big, cute, preggo belly. I wanted to flaunt it and look cute like all of the other pregnant women I saw. i was frustrated at the rate which my stomach was growing… It just wasn’t fast enough. But now that I…
Spawnie’s room is FINALLY looking like an actual nursery now. If you compare it to the beginning you’d be impressed with my handy work. ESPECIALLY since I’m really not a good decorator. I think the biggest things making a difference are the curtains I made (without a sewing machine). I would show you but I’m…
My baby shower was Saturday and it was a blast! It was a nice mix of friends from work, church, and even online. My friend Raquel, who I originally met on Twitter came and I was so happy to finally meet her face to face! I had a couple of sets of baby shower invites…
Dear LadyBug, Wow, we’ve gotten bigger this week. Me especially. I feel myself waddling when I walk and I can’t help it. I love penguins, always have, but I don’t really enjoy FEELING like one. I also have a bigger appetite now. I went to Chick-fil-a the other day, and got a meal, then about…
There have been many times throughout my pregnancy where I’ve done something incredibly dumb and chalked it up to this thing I heard about called “preggo brain.” Your body is working so hard to create life that it sometimes stops fueling the thinking part of yours. I’ve stressed over losing things that I actually was…
And I had all the money in the world, I’d like to buy: Cannon 50mm lens so I can take beautiful pictures of Spawnie when she arrives. The first photo I want to emulate is one like this: (picture is priceless, lens is $100) External pocket hard drive to store all of Spawnie’s picture’s on….
There’s a few things I’ve been looking forward to since I found out I was pregnant… Or even before then. Call me vain but I’ve been looking forward to getting maternity photographs for a long long time. I’m going to another consignment sale tomorrow night and they’re giving out a free belly shot for first…
