Family: First Trimester Faves

 I’ve been reunited with the Snoogle!! (Dat bump, tho.) I brought it into my arms in a warm embrace, and sang it some Ed Sheeran.  Last time I was pregnant, I wrote about some of my first trimester faves. I thought I would share the latest, since they’ve changed a bit this time around. Here…

Family: Bye, 1st Tri

I’m officially into the second trimester, and this pregnancy is FLYING by.  13 weeks: w Livi, who had just woken up from her hap:   Highlights: -Starting to feel little flutters. I can’t wait until they turn into full-blown kicks, and until Tom and Liv can feel the baby. When I eat something particularly delicious,…

Weeks 10-13 (April 7)

Hey guys! I’m publishing all of the remaining posts that I wrote in the last 13 weeks at once; this is the most recent one, as I’m 13 weeks today!

Weeks 5-9 update (March 11)

8 week belly pic: Random things I noticed and wondered: -Can’t wait to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. I told Tom that I wouldn’t mind being surprised for this one, especially since we have a lot of baby gear, but after he looked at me like I had two heads,…

a flash of light (March 8)

Friday afternoon, I had my first midwife appointment. I was super nervous about it, and I also had to go alone, since Tom came home from work early to stay home with Liv. (They don’t allow children in the clinic during flu season.) Right away, I knew I was in the right place. The midwife…

I’ve had my first appointment with my regular doc (whom I’d never met) for a midwife referral, and have my first midwife appointment in a couple of weeks. I couldn’t believe that I’ll be 8 1/2 weeks for my first *real* appointment. It seems like…

Family: the nerves

With as many things as there are to be excited about, it seems there are so many things to also be worried about. I think it’s a tougher point right now because no one knows we’re expecting, and I don’t really have anyone to talk to about it. It feels good to type, and at…

the sweetest surprise (February 8)

This past weekend, I was in Sedona for the Yoga Festival and to stay at L’Auberge as a media guest. When I arrived into Phoenix, I was due to start my cycle, but nothing ended up happening. figured it was my body playing it bro level so I could do crazy inversions and not be…

not this time (February 2, 2015)

So I was feeling anxious and took a pregnancy test last week. When I took my pregnancy test with Liv, I didn’t go to the store with the intention of getting a test. I was in Target, buying a bunch of random things (in true Target spirit) and a pregnancy test found its way into…

a secret (January 17, 2015)

Even though we only just started not-not-trying, I forgot what it felt like to have this little hope, and feel like you’re carrying a really exciting secret. I’m not even sure what will happen this month, and don’t have high expectations since we’re just now TTC, but I’ve been thinking about baby #2 and how…
