Well this semester is not going to be easy. Looks like my classes are really going to kick my ass! I am trying my best to be optimistic and hope for the best...but I know classes and a newborn are going to make for an interesting juggling act. I ordered both a sling and a mei tai carrier for the baby-so hopefully that will help me comfort her (and ( Read more... )

So far I have gained 40-42 pounds with this pregnancy :P I would not even weigh myself if I didn't have to every week at the doctor. I want to be really healthy after this for me and the baby. I am thinking I am either going to try the Ultimate Weight Loss Solution (Dr. Phil) or Weight Watchers. My exercise will likely be walking, yoga, and ( Read more... )

Went to the doctor today for my weekly non-stress test. Luckily the baby decided to be a little active-otherwise they seem to worry (the nurses) and make me chug juice. But I try and tell them she is a nightime girl-especially when I am sleeping ( Read more... )

I am trying so hard to stick it out till after the first week of Jan. (Speaking of work-Miss ( Read more... )

My baby has the hiccups :)

I feel so adult-I am researching life insurance companies. I hope to have one started and going before the baby comes. Such an odd thing that no one really wants to think about-but you really have to for the sake of your family and the unpredictable world we live in ( Read more... )

So far I have made choc chip walnut cookies, peanut butter cookies, and devil's food oatmeal choc chip ones...no wonder I will be gaining so much more weight this holiday/prego season!!! Next is oatmeal raisin..then I am taking a break from this hot ass kitchen :)

Ah...the semester is finally over. I am so happy!! I got 3 A's and 2 B's somehow-and I am so thankful (since my gpa was really bad after summer semester/first baby trimester). So far for spring I have scheduled College Comp II, Aquatic Life, and Art History I. But that could change...I really need to take math. However not having math in 11+ years ( Read more... )

Ah...one more final to go. I can't wait for this to be over ( Read more... )

I was in the hospital from Thurs to Sat (in case anyone was looking for me). I have a pretty good tolerance to pain-but when my right kidney felt like it was about to explode-I figured I should call the doctor's office. Here is what I know so far-major dehydration (strange since I had been drinking water like crazy), a bad uti infection, ultrasound ( Read more... )
