Family: First Trimester Faves

 Iโ€™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 theyโ€™ve changed a bit this time around. Here…

Family: Bye, 1st Tri

Iโ€™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 canโ€™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 5-9 update (March 11)

8 week belly pic: Random things I noticed and wondered: -Canโ€™t wait to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. I told Tom that I wouldnโ€™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 donโ€™t allow children in the clinic during flu season.) Right away, I knew I was in the right place. The midwife…

give me all the burgers

Itโ€™s hard to believe that things are already in motion. Iโ€™ve had my first appointment with my regular doc (whom Iโ€™d never met) for a midwife referral, and have my first midwife appointment in a couple of weeks. I couldnโ€™t believe that Iโ€™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 itโ€™s a tougher point right now because no one knows weโ€™re expecting, and I donโ€™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 Lโ€™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 didnโ€™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 youโ€™re carrying a really exciting secret. Iโ€™m not even sure what will happen this month, and donโ€™t have high expectations since weโ€™re just now TTC, but Iโ€™ve been thinking about baby #2 and how…
