I have been twice as bad about posting pregnancy updates the second time around. Looking back, I'm not quite sure why I didn't post more the first time - what did I do all day long? Anyway, the last few weeks/months have gone by quickly, and last week we found out...
I think that's how that goes, anyway. If you're looking for a post full of sunshine and rainbows, this ain't it. I got some pretty crappy news today about our upcoming family-growing plans, and I'm still pretty pissed about it. Here's the lowdown (from what I've...
I'm currently writing this post on about 5 hours of sleep without any form of caffeine, so forgive me in advance.Parenthood is and is nothing like I thought it would be.I expected the sleepless nights, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't care much. I look into his...
Today marks my 38th week of being pregnant. According to the doctor that I saw 2 weeks ago, the baby could come any day now. This is equally parts scary and exciting at the same time. Oscar's parents are home from their vacation safe and sound, and so the baby has...

Baby ClassesOscar and I went to our baby basics class and hospital tour last weekend. A good friend suggested we save our money, because "never shake a baby" is pretty much the only solid thing you should know. However, I knew I'd feel better about going to some kind...
I kinda suck at this whole "cataloging the pregnancy" thing. In my defense, I've had quite a bit going on, and lately, feel busier than I ever have, which is a good thing. On April 5th, we found out baby Mango is a boy!See proof:I barely slept the night before,...
And other things that have been floating around in my head the past few weeks..."Sometimes I think I've been born the wrong color, and in the wrong era.""I wish April 5th would hurry up and get here so I can buy some freakin' baby clothes.""I'm tired of getting out of...
I was so looking forward to actually starting to look pregnant. I'm so curious what I'll look like (small planet?), and I really just hate waiting. Last week during our trip to Vegas, I had some serious hangups because I was worried that people would think I was...
