Nevertheless, here are the 21 things I won’t miss about pregnancy after the remaining eight weeks (gulp!) tick by.Read Full Post

29w, 6d. It was a surprise to hear recently from my midwife that she'd like me to gain just another five pounds for the remainder of this pregnancy--especially since this is the time where most women pack on 1-2 pounds per week. Eep!Read Full Post

28w, 6d. I don’t know if the pregnancy hormones are that much stronger this time around, if it’s something about having a girl, or if I’ve just gone off the deep end, but there is some serious nesting and long overdue learning of the “domestic arts” going on around these parts.Read Full Post

26w, 6d. This weekend was equal parts amazing and unique because I got to ditch parenthood for a quick moment in time. Yep, I managed to have a childfree weekend (well, fetus not withstanding).Read Full Post

26w, 1d. Ever since we found out that we’re having a daughter, my husband and I have been deluged by questions from friends, family and strangers about what we’ll name her. I have yet to come up with an answer—for them, or for us. Read Full Post

25w, 2d. From getting up to pee multiple times a night, to waking up STARVING for a 2 am snack to my incredibly early-rising children, it has felt like I haven’t gotten a full night’s sleep in, well, months. But recently I did something in order to get more sleep that I’m kind of embarrassed to admit—but I’m going to continue doing it because, um, it’s working.Read Full Post
