So this morning I had my weekly visit.  Everything is going as scheduled.   37 weeks is considered full term…and it was pretty much made clear that I could have her any time now.  How exciting!  He said I will see you back next week……………or maybe not!  This, for some reason, really calms me.  I[…]

The baby’s room is now complete.  I have finished washing all the linens and clothes and put everything away, all nice and organized.  I redid her closet and changing table and set out the items that I know we will be using.  I packed her part of the hospital back.  I included a receiving blanket[…]

I just logged in to check the status of the site when I saw the countdown show just 28 days to go. What a trip that is. As the days grow nearer the reality sinks in a little more so to speak. At the same time, however, reality seems a completely subjective and ideological concept.[…]

I have been working in the baby’s room the last few days.  Honestly, all I wanted to do was wash all the clothes, bedding and bathing items.  It took almost four loads…and I still haven’t gotten it all put properly away.  What a chore….my back hurts so bad.  I love looking at all the tiny[…]

The visit to the doctor was a bit nerve racking but ended nicely.  We went through the normal checks.  He performed the test that was needed.  Checked my swelling etc.  It was decided that I should not return to work ((this , I find both frightening and a relief) ) and stay off my feet[…]

I think she may have changed positions…..because what I feel[…]

As the time draws near I have begun to think a little about life after the pregnancy. I do not do this in dismay, but more out of amusement. It’s a habit I think, thinking about where and how certain situations and questions might come up. It would be impossible to write them all down.[…]

Yesterday was a busy day.  I got up and went to a breast feeding class and was there about 2 hours.  While I was at the class I noticed some pain in my side.  I figured that the pain was just the baby in a weird position putting pressure on me.  I have felt this[…]
