Welcome to the third trimester

We have now officially hit 28 weeks!  YAY! 
The average (singleton pregnancy) woman gains 11 pounds during this tri and this is when you’ll really ‘pop’ and look pregnant.  Um… Hmmm.  We’ll just have to see what that means in the ‘twin’ case.  I happened across another Dr Luke quote last night about how women with [...]

Glucose tolerance test, you unfair bitch

After having all day yesterday to go over all this in my head, I have to say, I’m a little annoyed.  I seriously was NOT worried about that test.  I didn’t even think it made sense for me to take it.  Four pregnancies, ALL without getting anywhere near failing that test, ALL while I was [...]

Zen and the art of not getting your way

Our 28 week appointment was today.  It had some ups and some downs. 
For the ups, the boys are doing extremely well.  A is bigger than B (perfect) by just a little bit – A is over 3 pounds and B is 2 pounds 15 ounces.  (I will update this when I get the note from [...]

But I neeeeeed my pillow

We left Ash’s little satin pillow at the hotel we went to this weekend.  We had a tubing weekend planned with a little hotel stay which is really just for the kid’s amusement as we don’t live all that far away.  The actual tubing was scrapped as it was, ya know, 400 degrees below zero [...]

The 7 month itch

No, we’re not 7 months along, but it still works because we are in the 7th month.  I know that because my friend Jeanette had her baby on our CD1 and since her little cutie is now 6 months old (and thus, in his 7th month) so are these boys.
Itch refers to, well, I know it [...]

Holy crap!

That choice comment is what came out of my mouth when I got weighed in at the clinic on Monday.  Why was I weighed in at the clinic?  Not because I had an appointment.  No, it was because of two things. 
1) I will never ever ever again be in a position of saying to myself [...]

peeing standing up

So, this weekend the kids and I all went out to the park across the street to the ice rink.  Gavin has new skates and he can’t get them on and off on his own so that means we all get to drag our butts, um, I mean, skip off to a family outing to [...]

4 pounds of baby

Before I get into my blog, I’d like to share the last 20 minutes of my life with you:
I’m at work (sorry, work, for blogging from here.  You should know though, that you are lucky I’m blogging this and not, you know, running crazy through the halls.) I am helping an engineer set up this [...]

big search hit day…

“Belly shot porn”  Maybe I’m naive, but I honestly didn’t see that one coming.  But hey, there was only ONE search hit under those words so how bad could it be?  Hopefully, very very hopefully, whomever it was became extraordinarily disappointed with my site.
Another search hit I got was along the lines of  ”still bring [...]

Why I am a horrible mother

I just kicked my sick fever running sore throat son out of my bed.  He was snoring.  I love my children, I really really do, but I also love being able to sleep without constant snoring in my ears.  I sleep VERY lightly so everything wakes me up.  When I was a kid I had [...]
