Yummy apple slices with peanut butter! It’s a great snack (and healthy too!) for adults and children alike.  It’s definitely a good pregnancy snack (especially if you have gestational diabetes – this satisfies your carb/protein

It’s no fair that I’m not going to the fair. See, this weekend is our County Fair, which we usually go to each year.  Admission is free, so we can wander around and grab carny

I have got to stop procrastinating and write about this already.  Heck, dealing with gestational diabetes (aka GD) is one of the reasons I wanted to blog about my pregnancy.  It seems like there

Back to see the dresses, huh?  I’m finding it waaaay too much fun to shop for a little girl.  Brian is also starting to find shopping for her to be quite fun.  It is

So, we (well, mostly I) started to buy a few outfits here and there before we knew we were having a girl.  Now that we know we’re having a girl, we’ve purchased fewer gender

I hadn’t been aware of this blog until today when I saw it mentioned a couple times on Facebook and Twitter, but it is uber cute.  I almost want to steal the idea when

This morning I was able to experience something amazing.  For several minutes I could actually see my belly bounce and move as babygirl kicked and punched. I’ve thought I’ve seen my belly jump a few

I saw this mentioned over at Babycenter.com yesterday and got a kick out of it.  I’m impressed with her moves… she’s 38 weeks pregnant in this video.  I was like, damn, I could barely

This morning I decided to tackle a little more decorating.  Last weekend, Brian hung the wooden letters for babygirl’s initials.  Yesterday we went to Babies R Us to update some registry items (the stroller

Yep, a new theme! I’m not usually  a switch-around-themes-willy-nilly kinda gal, but the last theme was kinda… clunky.  It looked ok, but I was having behind the scenes issues with it. So here we go, a

This morning we went in to finish the anatomy ultrasound.  I asked babygirl nicely to cooperate with positioning while we were driving to the appointment.  Thankfully, she listened. This time she was head down (I

Tomorrow morning I have another ultrasound scheduled and I can’t wait to see my little girl again.  It’s only been 3 weeks since the last one, but I know she’s grown quite a bit

The holiday weekend was quite productive.  We did some good housecleaning (not just surface-get-rid-of-clutter-cleaning).  With the help of some friends, the nursery is now painted!  Brian also put together my glider, so it’s starting

Sounds like a good band name, doesn’t it? Leaky Orifices. Anywho, these are fairly nasty TMI (too much information) types of symptoms of pregnancy, but very common ones. We have to deal with at least a
