Yesterday I had my 28 week appointment with my OB and, along with the regular weight check, heartbeat, and measurements, I also had my 1 hour glucose screening.  I know, really good idea after a holiday weekend of all things food!  If you’ve never been pregnant (hello 2 male readers), the glucose screening entails drinking [...]

After a holiday weekend encompassed by all things eating — turkey, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, pecan pie, stuffing — the last thing any of us wants to think about is food.  Especially since you probably still have weekend leftovers sitting in your fridge right now!  But food is one of the most popular gifts during [...]

Congrats Katie for winning the “Family Flick Night” giveaway! I can confidently say that I will not be partaking in the Black Friday madness! For so many reasons. I’ve done it before. I’ve stood in lines.  I’ve scored some good deals.  Missed out on others.  But this year I’m 6 months pregnant.  I’m pretty sure [...]

Oh maternity clothes, you are my nemesis! Here is the problem….Maternity clothes shopping has got to be one of the most frustrating things for me. First, I find it so interesting that, when I’m not pregnant, I see the cutest maternity clothes! However, the minute I pee on that little stick, the shops pack those [...]

This is a picture that Zoe (my 2 year old) drew for me about a month ago.  I must say that her drawing skills have vastly improved over the past month but this particular drawing is so special to me for two reasons.  First, this is one of her first drawings that is actually of [...]
