So, I thought I was showing the same this time around, but after looking at pictures, I don't think so! I don't have exact weekly comparisons, but close enough. Now granted, by this time with Emily, I had gained about 20 pounds, but this time around, I've only gained 5. FIVE. Let's hope that I can keep that up. Because I have A LOT to lose ( Read more... )

Today was my 20-week checkup. TWENTY. I have no idea where the time has gone this time around. It seems like everything is going by at light speed. The baby is moving and moving and moving and it's so great to feel her. It's truly a blessing that as a woman I get to experience this. As women go, I'm a very, very happy pregnant person. There ( Read more... )

So, I realize that I've been MIA in LJ-land... as in like half my pregnancy is gone and I've merely mentioned it in passing ( Read more... )

I often wonder where all my time goes. I'm awake for so many hours a day, but it seems like it just goes by in a "whoosh." And then before I know it, it's the next morning! And the cycle starts all over ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here at work trying to finish up a few things, but I just lack the motivation. Completely. So, I thought I'd update ( Read more... )

I'll admit it - this year I just wasn't as in to it as I usually am. My hand is dead. But I think they turned out ok!

This weekend was HORRIBLE with Emily. She's in a phase where she thinks screaming for 45 minutes will get her what she wants. But I am *so* over giving in to her. So last night, I was bummed. One of those why-did-I-do-this-I-hate-my-life kind of moods. And I was dreading Monday. But it's like Emily woke up a totally different kid - and stayed ( Read more... )

So... two months later and here I sit. I even received a couple of nudges here and there wondering where the heck I've been (thank youblue_wisteria). Mainly the reason why I've been MIA is because I'm working full-time again and by the time I get home, get Em in bed, and relax a bit it's like midnight. And then I'm up at 6 (ok, maybe 6:30) and start all over ( Read more... )

Ok, so the Hillsboro Airshow is this weekend and right now the Blue Angels are doing test flights RIGHT. OUTSIDE. Like, I can see the pilots and feel the windows shake. It's crazy as hell! Our building is in the "sterile corridor" where they close all the roads, etc ( Read more... )

If I hear about one more person leaving their kid in the car and the kid dying, I will completely and totally LOSE. MY. MIND ( Read more... )
