And baby makes…

it really hard to get anything done.
So I guess when you have a kid your life is no longer your own, which can be depressing for some women.  Couple that with long bouts of travel to a strange country, baby in tow, and a thyroid disorder, and you might as well photoshop a black cloud [...]

almost overdue

the baby is due tomorrow–but i’m not holding my breath.  she seems a little bit too comfy in my gut, and it seems that pregnancy still has crap to throw at me.  i’ve only just started sleeping like total crap since she dropped into my pelvis, and I haven’t even gotten a hemorroid yet.  so [...]

Mwah!

Yeah it’s been three months since I last posted.  Wanna fight about it?
It’s true.  Blogging has taken a back seat to my burgeoning belly, which has started to show signs of alien life that are not altogether pleasant.  I’d feel worse if I actually thought people read this blog…although apparently more people wander onto it than [...]

and that’s when the C.H.U.D.s came at me.

Up to this point, I’ve pretty much avoided what was, to my husband at least, the most feared possible side-effect of pregnancy: hormonal imbalance.  Having been known to crawl under the bed or into the back of my closet for a good cry/screaming fit during some of my rougher moments, neither of us quite knew [...]

The big 3-0

My thirtieth birthday is fact approaching, and I am at a loss.  Drawing a total blank on what I would like to do to celebrate what still feels like a momentous occasion (although it does seem to dwarf a bit in comparison to the whole “growing a new human being in your stomach” thing).  Back [...]

Slightly better

It’s getting slightly better, this being pregnant thing; although I suspect I will not feel like myself again until after I pop the kid out, and then I’ll have so many other things to make me feel strange and exhausted and terrified.
 It might help that this weekend was an orgy of accomplishment.  In order, I:
Made [...]

All the glory that is pregnancy

I hear pregnancy is wonderful–women glow and somehow remain sexy even as their bellies grow to elephantine proportions.  I wouldn’t know anything about it–I’ve been asleep for 348 hours…just in the last month.  So perhaps it’s not surprising that I haven’t been online. 
So far, I’m not impressed with this condition.  I thought I’d be one [...]

the superbowl may’ve been awesome, but mondays still suck

what a game–I mean, really.  I only watch like 2 games all season, the superbowl being one of them, but nothing beats watching a good game of football on a chilly sunday afternoon.  and this year’s superbowl was absolutely fantastic.  I admit, I had little faith in the Giants, but they pulled off that win [...]

I’m a yoga slacker

I admit it.  I don’t yoga as much as I used to.  I’ve got lots of excuses–the class is taught in a conference room in downtown city hall, on nasty-ass corporate carpeting and sometimes around furniture that can’t be moved, the teacher once took out her bad mood on my pelvis (that sounds much dirtier [...]

blargh

I’ve actually been feeling okay for first trimester pregnant, but I feel worse not having symptoms in case it means something’s wrong.  The one symptom I’m experiencing full on is confusion and mixed emotions.
