The fabric of my life.
I briefly mentioned in a previous post that I was considering a natural birth. Since then, I have been surprised by how many people 1.) actually read that post and 2.) have asked to know more. Disclaimer: I hate reading pregnancy blogs that make you feel like a monster for even considering pain medication. Let’s be […]

Obviously I have been counting down this pregnancy since… oh, I don’t know… the beginning. But today is a milestone worthy enough for a short little blog post. I’m due to have a baby exactly one month from today. It dawned on me yesterday that as unprepared as I am for Baby C’s birth, most […]

Over the last several months, Courtny and the guys (read: and all the girls) have been planning a surprise bachelor party in Louisville for our friend Dave. The boys dreamed up a complex storyline involving a semi-fake ClassRealm investment pitch that not only kept Dave preoccupied, but provided for the perfect alibi to get Dave away […]

How far along? 35 weeks Total weight gain? 31.5 lbs. Considering my “terrible” eating habits when Courtny is away, I consider this 1.5 lb. gain a win. Maternity clothes? Ugh.

A rather low-key weekend did nothing to make me feel less miserable. In fact, today I’m pretty sure my pelvis is going to snap in half. And Baby C may be clawing her way out… Pregnancy is oh-so glamorous. In all seriousness, Baby C and I have managed to make it through the last six […]

How far along? 34 weeks Total weight gain? No doctor appointment until next week….so still at 30 lbs. I know. Completely logical. Maternity clothes? That’s not even a question at this point. Stretch marks? Nada. Sleep? I’m sleeping better, but I definitely wake up every 2-3 hours. Maybe I’m just getting used to it? Best moment […]

I have been thinking about this post for weeks. I would like to say that I have the perfect words to express myself on this bittersweet day, but the reality is that I have started and deleted this post at least 10 times now. Nothing about this blog will be easy. Today would be my […]

Somehow, Courtny and I have managed to book our weekends solid between now and D-Day. It’s like we’re overcompensating for the lack of a life we’re about to have… and just hoping Baby C stays on our schedule. I know. Yeah, right. Anyway, this weekend kicked off our upcoming 6 week run of wedding-related events, […]

How far along? 33 weeks Total weight gain? 30 lbs. Yeah… I gained over the last two weeks. Oops. Maternity clothes? If it doesn’t have an elastic waistband, it’s not happening. Stretch marks? Still no! Sleep? Sleep has been much easier this week. Maybe I’m just so exhausted that my body doesn’t even care about being […]

Oh, dear blog reader. I must tell you the story of how my house was taken over by Baby C’s stuff, thanks to the kindness of our family and friends. I think if anything else pink and baby-related enters our home between now and D-Day, my husband may have a panic attack (and that includes […]
