I have a confession to make. And it’s a hard thing to admit.

It started a while back. I was having trouble sleeping, and I spent a lot of nights on the couch, unable to coexist in the same bed as my boyfriend. I mean, pregnancy makes sleeping hard at the best of times, right? It’s acceptable…

But in all those lonely nights, my thoughts started to ( Read more... )

So here’s a subject I don’t see talked about much, but which I know I’m extremely interested in. It’s that thing that started OUR lives and which put us in the position to start OTHER lives…

It’s SEX!

Okay, so I DO see sex talked about all the time. But the particular thing I’m interested in is pregnancy sex. Like… do you? Don’t you? Why or why not ( Read more... )

It has been several months since Katie created this website. I have been thinking about when and what to post for a while now. I thought I would just break the ice and post something so here it goes.

It has been very strange to think that I am going to be a father. If I go back 10 years I was planning on starting a family when I was 28 so even ( Read more... )

The last couple of days, I’ve spent thinking mostly about this blog. Originally I wanted a simple way to keep track of my pregnancy in words and pictures… a way for my son to be able to look back to when he was still in mama’s belly and read about how many changes she went through and what thoughts and feelings she had toward him before he was born ( Read more... )

The past two days have been chock full of activity. Throughout most of the pregnancy so far, I’ve just had no energy to do anything, and when weekends rolled around and Mark had a couple days off, the poor boy was forced to simply spend them cooped up in the house with his exhausted girlfriend.

But lately, I’ve been finding energy from somewhere ( Read more... )
