I don't know if you remember me mentioning in previous posts that I have had a lot of underbelly pain?. It hurts the worst after wearing a dress all day, working out, or intercourse. But, in the past few weeks sometimes it just hurts to hurt with no real pattern. I have recently tried wearing the be...

Today marks 31 weeks! My little man now weighs approximately 3.5 pounds and is about a foot long! I can't wait for him to come - every week gets a little closer! 8-9 weeks until he is here doesn't feel so long after I put in 31 weeks already.

Wow, I think our son is going to be a soccer player! ;) He kept me up for HOURS last night. I would guess that I have to do a C-section because he loves to be breeched! Two nights ago he turned into the breeched position and boy is that painful! He remained breeched until the middle of last night. H...

I am now officially back in the swing of getting ready for school. Unless you are not an elementary teacher you can pretty much bet to be back at school everyday in the month of August until school starts. I am lucky enough, however, that school does not start for teachers until September 2nd. We...

Pregnancy advice today? Many women get acid reflux which makes their hearts burn and creates a lot nausea. I started thinking that this could be what I am suffering from - I am almost always nauseous after EVERY meal and end up burping it up for about an hour (gross, I know). The funny thing is, if ...

Today I woke up pain free in my legs! Monday I was grocery shopping and lifting heavy stuff like bottled water into the cart. You're not supposed to lift anything heavy and I guess I see why...now. My husband was at work and I thought, "Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't carry the sam...

As if I couldn't get any bigger...my stomach gets bigger. I know, I know, I still have 9 more weeks to go. But, geez, I feel like the Goodyear Blimp as it is - it is just so hard to imagine this belly could stretch even more. Heading into the 8th month I've decided months 6 and 7 were probably the b...

I have a lot of friends that are trying to get pregnant right now and have a lot of the common questions about what you can/can do while pregnant. Also, a few of the older women at my baby shower had these questions because they were curious as to what had/hadn't changed. The first question was if I...

Today is officially week 30 of the pregnancy! Right now our baby is almost about 11 inches and 3 pounds. A common side effect of gestational diabetes was a larger baby. Although I wasn't "diabetic" I am borderline and I wonder if this has an impact. Even at 20 weeks my belly ...

Late yesterday I found out the results of my gestational diabetes test: my levels were high but borderline; not enough to be doing insulin and follow a strict diet with a diabetes dietician! Whooo! Even though it's common amongst women, it's also common that many women will acquire regular diabetes ...
