Don’t google placenta previaPosted by Alli on September 23, 2008
This morning we were happy to view, ooh, and ahh over this image: That there is the baby I am currently carrying and we are in love. The ultrasound was about 45 minutes of measurements and showing off. The baby waved to us, blew some bubbles, and did some acrobatics. At the end of the [...]
Pregnancy MassagePosted by Alli on September 18, 2008
One of the things I feared when I was getting ready for my Orlando trip was tiring out from walking from hotel to hotel. I remembered my trip to Vegas last year and how sore and tired I was from all the walking. Granted I didn’t walk anywhere near as much in Orlando as I [...]
Doctor Day updatePosted by Alli on September 10, 2008
Oops. Aunt Juanita asked about the doctor and I forgot (or got a tad busy) to update on how it went. Fine. The baby is still growing, moving, and grooving inside of me. Heard the heartbeat, measured correctly, and didn’t really have any life altering questions for the doctor. It was a pretty quick visit. [...]
Doctor DayPosted by Alli on September 9, 2008
I have a doctor’s appointment today. I had a rather stressful sleep, with strange dreams of riding in an RV and bumping into guardrails while driving on mountainous roads. After a bathroom break I had another dream of such a horrible nature I won’t recount it here. But I’m rather anxious, for some unknown reason. [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: Can’t stop eating to take this picturePosted by Alli on August 24, 2008
Well, I finally figured out the remote on my Nikon D40. And as you can see, it came in really handy so I could take this picture AND keep eating, a skill all pregnant women/ bloggers need to perfect. As mentioned before, I am making my way out of the first trimester haze and made [...]
Using my toolsPosted by Alli on August 16, 2008
Last night our family spent quite a lot of time outdoors. We were at the drive-in and the while the weather was pleasant, it was enough humidity to make me swell and the aching to come back in my right wrist. Pregnancy related carpal tunnel is going to be a battle I endure until this [...]
It’s not the heat… oh wait, yes it is!Posted by Alli on August 8, 2008
Yesterday was my first “off” day in some time. I spent the entire day at home, puttering around the house, doing a bit of laundry, resting, and playing with Fuller. And most importantly, I was inside in the comfort of cooler air thanks to the technological wonder of air conditioning. The result was by the [...]
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said…Posted by Alli on August 6, 2008
Yesterday was my second check up of this pregnancy. No big deal. I didn’t even have to get undressed. Unfortunately the baby is still too young to have his/ her heartbeat picked up by the doppler thingy, so I the misfortune turned into fortune where I got another peek at the kiddo. Heart was beating [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: Hands FullPosted by Alli on August 3, 2008
This isn’t a real self-portrait since you can clearly see both my hands are preoccupied with holding my niece, Genevieve. I haven’t seen her since Christmas and she is getting SO! BIG! I was able to get her in my lap for the length of this bottle and that was it. She was off and [...]
How YOU Doin?Posted by Alli on July 16, 2008
When you announce a pregnancy there are several questions that come up soon after the words “Congratulations!” leave your friends and family’s mouths. Of course there is the due date question but soon afterwards is “How are you feeling?” I get the feeling the unspoken words are “Are you worshiping the porcelain god? If so, [...]
