I Give Up

There is no point what-so-ever in trying to compare different pregnancies, labors, or children. God has taught me this before my second child has even been born. Isn’t He nice like that?
With Olivia, I felt no contractions until my water broke and had her five and a half hours later (who knows how […]

Bah. Nothing. Nothing At All.

So I went to the doctor again today. Nobody wins. Nobody guessed that I would be exactly the same as I was the week before. No changes what-so-ever. 2cm and 80% effaced. And I’ve been having Braxton Hicks contractions all week. I didn’t get those at all with Olivia, […]

My Own March Madness

Ok, I’ve seen all you and your basketball pools and what-not. Well, here’s something that interests me far more.
Let’s see who can guess the closest on the following:1) How dilated will I be on Friday?2) What day will Baby Boy be born on?3) What time will Baby Boy be born?4) How much will […]

2 cm & 80%

So I’m a bit behind in one category and a bit ahead in the other. (Considering with Olivia at 37 weeks, I was 3cm and 75%.) But congratulations to Ashley!! Tell me what you want and I’ll cook it for you next time you come over. Oh, and I’m officially declaring […]

I Don’t Nest

So the “nesting instinct” is this supposed universal response to clean and prepare everything for the arrival of your unborn child. It’s supposed to get more intense as the birth draws nearer.
Yeah, I get lazier as the birth draws nearer. I just sit here and think about how extremely difficult it would be […]

Pick a Number Between 1 and 10

So I’ve broken down my last month of pregnancy with Olivia so that I can convince myself there will be some sort of predictability with this one.
At 36 weeks, I was 1 cm dilated.At 37 weeks, I was 3 cm dilated, 75% effaced, and her head was at -1.At 38 weeks, I was 5 cm […]

My Ultrasound - For Real This Time

I wasn’t even going to blog anything, I was so disappointed in the lack of curiousity displayed. I suppose that had something to do with the fact that most everyone insisted on hearing personally instead of from the blog. Then, anyone else who wanted to know IM’ed me before I got the chance […]

My Ultrasound

Haha, fooled you. You thought I had an ultrasound. I’m not lying, this post will be about my ultrasound… and my anticipation for it. IT’S TOMORROW! At 1:45p.m. And they said to bring a VHS tape, so that means they’ll record it for us! Then, next time I see […]

"Doctor" Appointment

So a few people have expressed disappointment that when I blogged, I chose a grammar lesson instead of my “doctor” appointment to blog about. Sorry. I was going to blog about my appointment last night, but blogger wasn’t working. Then this morning in the shower (where all good thinking is done) I […]
