So today is the day before I become the mother to my daughter. The last full day of my pregnancy with the little girl that I am now counting the hours until I meet. Let’s take a little walk down Preggo Lane, shall we? Me at 16 Weeks – a.k.a – the week I “popped!”…
38 Weeks is a LONG Time
I kinda felt like just hiding in the shadows yesterday. The only reasons I left the house was to pick The B Man up from school and return a DVD from the library, all in one trip. I showered late and didn’t eat very much. There’s not that much room left. My body is tired…
What I Will Miss About Being Pregnant
As much as I’ve been complaining about my cankles and tiredness lately, I will miss being pregnant for a few reasons… Eating Whatever I Want Whenever I WantYep, that’s what I do when I’m pregnant. Of course the first trimester was kinda dicey but after that, it’s Katy Bar the Pantry Door! (and the fridge…
Gettin’ Ready – PSF
Above the crib it says “Every child is a story yet to be told” The other day The B Man helped me unpack packages of pink and purple and flowered onesies and hooded towels and sleepers and tiny socks. All the while telling me how much of a help he is going to be when…
WW – To The Baby Girl Inside
There was a time when I thought you would never be. But someone else had a different plan. I’d gotten used to the idea of our family being me, Daddy and your brothers. I’d embraced the fact that this was our little family and I was happy. Then one day everything changed. Daddy and I…
On Family Resemblence
When I was younger I used to think I looked exactly like my father. I had lighter hair and skin like him and my relatives on his side of the family. I would look at the two of my three brothers who also showed many of the same features and find it odd that my…
WW – “It Has It’s Own Weather System!”
500 Points if you can get the movie reference. I’m talking about the belly of course. I swear it has a life of it’s own. Oh wait. It does. At 34 weeks I’m feeling huge and my feet and ankles are big, swollen freaky looking things. All the time. The B man has felt and…
Such a Sweet Shower
I have wonderful friends. They are sweet, loving, thoughtful, talented ladies. I thank God for them. And after seeing them this weekend, back at ‘home,” I miss them. But even though I had to leave once again, it was proven to me that no matter what, they will be in my life, especially for the…
Seen
Yesterday morning we all went to my OB’s office and after the cool gel was applied, saw the baby girl again. The boys were in the room (I’ve never had kids in my ultra sounds before) and although I’m sure they (especially Little G) had NO idea what was on the screen, they did pretty…
I Think I Could Set a Drink on It
My belly is big. I know, I know. I’m 32 weeks pregnant so it’s gonna be. But seriously, this time, I feel Bigg-ER than either of the other two times. Oh and did you catch that? I said 32 WEEKS pregnant. And since a c-section* will more-than-likely be scheduled the week before my due date…
