Blame It On The...Hormones.
This week has been full of ups and downs….with the downs being more like little divots in the dirt, but divots all the same. I’ve been snippy…oh so snippy!….I’ve been snippy and picky…and…well…let’s just say I haven’t been very nice. As Mr. G and I were heading to bed the other night, I scoured my face while pulling the pillow out from under his head. Once his head hit the mattress I...
Where's The Baby?
I tossed and turned in an attempt to find the sweet spot on my side of the bed with pillows surrounding me to give a sense of security…and add some feathers to my own newfound fluff. And with a light backrub, I found a rhythmic breath and drifted off to sleep.
A few minutes shy of midnight, I found myself sitting upright with wide eyes and my heart beating with great depth and momentum. I was...
Tips for the Queasies
“Every pregnancy is different!” is a proclamation that I’ve heard a million times…and it’s so true. My sister and I have had almost completely different pregnancies! Since my first trimester queasies have started to fade away, I thought I would share a few tips that I used to help keep the queasies at bay. Granted, sometimes nothing worked at all…but I always...
Saying Goodbye To An Old Friend.
There is a list of things that I never realized…or never wanted to realize…would eventually need to happen once you are expecting a baby in your life. The list includes saying hello to new and wondrous things (hello cleavage!!), and sometimes it includes bidding adieu to old friends.
I am on the verge of feeling a profound sense of over-the-top devastation about saying goodbye to an old friend....
Dear Sweetpea,
Last night at dinner with your Grandmommy and Daddy…you must have gotten really excited over the large platter of Chicken Parmesan that I ordered. I felt flutters…and little vibrations in the lower part of my belly for the first time, and I could only imagine that you were licking your lips and clapping your hands when I took my first bite. Perhaps chicken parm will...
Shopping for a growing belly.
While I am approaching my 4th month of pregnancy, it is finally time that I retire my jeans to the back of my closet and find my way to the mall. I was dreading the experience, but decided that I would only buy basics that would hold up and be worn multiple times over the next two seasons. The good news is that summer dresses can be worn with a cardigan in the spring…and no need for boots...
Finding The Cool Side
I awoke unexpectedly with a fluttering heart and parched mouth to flip to my right side while searching for a cool side of any one of the many pillows that surround me at night. I reached out my left foot to feel the warmth of Mr. Greeneyes’ right leg as I listened to his heavy and rhythmic breaths of deep sleep. Throwing my arms above my head to touch the chilled wall between the rod-iron...
Week 14
I have a big announcement to make!!! NO MORE CASES OF THE QUEASIES!
I am feeling so much better. Granted, I still reach a point of exhaustion late in the afternoon that I used to treat with an ice cold Diet Coke…but all-in-all, I can’t complain. Mom is coming up here this weekend to hang out, rub my belly, and do some shopping…perhaps for some clothes that will fit comfortably...
