I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

This morning at my ob-gyn check-up, I was 2 cm dilated (yay! progress! not that it means much…) and looked good. I told the doctor my desire to have this baby asap but my hesitation with going the full induction route, so she compromised and stripped my membranes. I don’t know what I was expecting–the procedure itself […]
No baby yet…thanks to those who have been checking in, though!…and friends from church have been determined to help me induce labor if possible through walking/play dates these past couple warm days. Tommy has loved the playtime with his friends, but no contractions have resulted yet. This afternoon, an abbreviated nap meant that Tommy had […]

Well, now that I’m three weeks out from my duedate, I am considered “full term” by my OB practice and could have this baby any time! (Prayers for an early and healthy delivery so we can make it to Mariel’s and Peter’s weddings would be much appreciated…) Today they started checking all the fun signs…I’m […]
Now that we have a complete twin bed set (and cool robot sheets), Tommy has been really interested in the big boy bed. We thought we’d wait to transfer him until he started climbing out of the crib (which he hasn’t), but now I’m starting to wonder if he’s ready for the real thing now. […]
Yesterday was one of those nerve-wracking days where my morning Bible study got cancelled due to snow and negative temperatures, Derek wasn’t able to come home and shovel me out before our evening small group, and I almost got stuck in snowbanks twice driving to small group with Tommy in negative temperatures. (Derek was coming […]

Well, several of my friends are due in the next few weeks, so I’ve been eagerly reading all the pregnancy updates for news of Tommy’s future playmates. I gues I’m in an pregnancy updating mood myself! I was going to blog about Peter getting engaged last week, but he didn’t want me to, so I […]

We had the ultrasound today–everything went well! One thing we learned was that our duedate is actually May 4, not the 5 like the doctor had told us. So Emily S and I are actually due the same day! Everything looked really good. The baby measured in the 40th percentile, which is totally fine, and […]

This week has really been an up and down one for me. I spent the first three days of it preparing for a Christmas party that no one came to (what a lesson in humility!), then I had a really blessed time getting to know three other young moms in our church better at a playdate yesterday, […]
Well, I pulled out my maternity box today and wore a maternity top. I’m halfway done with the switch-over from normal/fat clothes to belly clothes. But I wasn’t showing enough to avoid confusion tonight at a dinner party for Derek’s work. One of his coworkers asked me what I’m doing and I said I chase […]

I’m not usually online on Sundays, but I have to meet up with a friend in a conference room in a few minutes, so I thought I’d just tell everyone about my big step today–I pulled out my maternity coat to wear to church! It’s wayyyy more comfortable than my normal pea coat, which fit […]
