Getting the party started
I took a Zumba class at work today. It still feels really good to move around –and makes me forget that baby and I are spine-to-spine– and I can take it easy, since I was just taking class instead of teaching. It was a great class, and the best part was when my boss walked…

Trying something new
Efforts to help the baby flip from posterior position to LOA (facing my right side, how she was until a week ago) have gone from pretty simple: (using my stability ball as a chair and to bounce and rotate my hips whenever possible) to a little crazy: I spent 10 minutes the other night with…

10 days before my due date
my pregnancy gave to me… 10 pairs of lululemon pants that are suddenly all too snug 9 days of wondering 8 days of walking 7 fierce contractions 6 warm baths to take 5 unexplained cravings (anchovies!) 4 hospital outfits 3 cups of daily tea 2 acupuncture appointments and 1 precious sunny-side up babbbyyyyyyyy.

I halfway understood
The other night, we were channel-surfing, trying to find something to watch that wasn’t Adult Swim or the Kardashians [our preferences vary a little]. Tom left it on HBO for a second, to see what was on, and on the screen was an image of a pregnant woman, undressed, looking at herself in the mirror.…

What I Learned About Cloth Diapers
A few weeks ago, which ended up being a pretty stressful day, my friend Nicole taught me and my friend Kelly a TON about cloth diapering. At the time, I was apprehensive about it (for *these reasons*) but by the time I left her house, I felt fully on board the cloth diaper train. It…

How Eats Have Changed
Eats are always changing and evolving based on discovering new ingredients, changes in activity levels, and learning more about your body and nutrition over time. My eats have changed quite a lot since I started the blog over 3 years ago, but they’ve changed even more in the past 27 weeks. A wonky appetite was…

Sometimes…
When I eat something extra delicious, the baby will kick like crazy. Tom says that she’s dancing and squeezing the umbilical cord to get the good stuff out- kind of like squeezing the end of a tube of toothpaste. I find this image borderline disturbing and hilarious at the same time. [No spoon in your…

Baby-proofing
We love having friends over for dinner or just to hang out. I still haven’t invited any of our friends with babies or small kids over, since our house isn’t exactly baby-proof. [We do have a fun playset in the backyard that needs to be broken in, though] We have things low to the ground,…

A mozzie’s cozzie?
Today I had my last “monthly” midwife appointment- from here on out, they’re every two weeks. My appointment was with the first midwife I met at the practice, and I adore her. She walks into the room, sits in her chair and looks at me, ready to answer questions and takes all the sweet time…

Fun and Blahs of Pregnancy
Online, I’ve read a lot of pregnancy gripes. I’m also guilty of occasionally complaining about the not-so-fun parts of pregnancy, but 99.9% of the time I love it. I can already tell that I’ll be kind of sad when I’m not pregnant anymore, but [god-willing], I’ll have a happy, healthy little baby girl instead 🙂…

New Nutrition Focus
We’ve only taken two classes so far, and I’m really enjoying the Bradley Method classes. Not only does it gives me two dedicated hours of weeknight quality time with Tom [his schedule is so frantic during the week- mine is still busy, but more flexible], time to focus on the baby, a bonus massage at…

Baby Can Zumba
4 1/2 weeks: 12 1/2 weeks: There’s a legit baby in there 🙂 It was so crazy to go to today’s ultrasound and see a REAL baby. No lentil, no little bean… a baby. And my experience with today’s ultrasound compared to the one I had almost a month ago: night and day. No cold…
