Wrapping up week 35 and I feel slightly (and I emphasize *slightly*) more patient about waiting for the impending arrival of our little nugget. A little nugget who is, as far as I estimate, not much of a little nugget anymore. Maybe more of a 35 lb. kid with really long legs who thinks is [...]

Three weeks since my last pregnancy update – geesh, I haven’t even birthed my child yet and already I feel like a bad parent. The past few weeks have had a few monumental moments.  We had a nurse at an OB check up who felt the need to blurt out my weight, despite the fact [...]

A quick trip to Target this weekend to buy a few new T-shirts that actually stretch over the entirety of my belly confirmed, yet again, that I’m only getting bigger at this point.  While I am sure this will be the mantra of the duration of my poor kid’s existence, I still must say that [...]

Despite the fact that we have had the nursery put together for months now, it seemed like a good time to share a picture of the theme we have decided to use for the room. (It was either that, or post the only pictures we have of me and the belly in my 29th week [...]

Tick tock. Tick tock. As much as the time has just been flying by since we first began this journey, I am just bursting at the seams to meet our little boy – literally and figuratively. This week was pretty big, as we went in for our last ultrasound, this one being the 3D/4D. Matt [...]

According to the weekly pregnancy updates I get via email, Benji is now about 14 or so inches long and weighing in at 2 lbs (the weight of a head of cauliflower). Trust me, I am feeling it. While I know I am only going to get bigger from this point forward, the little man [...]

I picked up What to Expect When You Are Expecting again (shelved it months ago when I got to the labor and delivery parts – seemed so far off it was nearly irrlevant). Ugh. Matt says I should stop reading the pregnancy books because they make me grumpy. It’s hard to swallow though – reading [...]

As of Saturday morning, it is officially official – Matt and I have tied the knot.  After a week of watching the Weather Channel and fretting over the forecasted rain and thunderstorms, we managed to make it through an outdoor wedding and a party thereafter without much more than a sprinkle (although I can’t say the [...]

I can’t believe the wedding is in three days! Dad and Kathy will be driving up tomorrow and should be here by the time Matt and I get off of work (the beginning of a 4-day weekend – woo hoo!). Made all the confirmation calls earlier in the week and it looks like our key [...]
