I started having my first contractions today. They weren’t anything painful and Chuck actually had to convince me that what I was feeling was contractions. Once he convinced me, I started crying. Good tears, of course, but mixed in with a little panic, I think. 🙂 We went to Babies R Us and did the...

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning. Last week, the baby’s head was low and my cervix had started to soften. This week, the doctor said I was almost dilated to 1 cm. She could get her fingertip in, but not her whole finger. So my body has made some progress in the last week. ...

My brother came over today to take some maternity pictures. I am so excited to see how they turn out. I didn’t think I really wanted/needed them done at first, but he took some cool pictures and I am glad we decided to do it. Now I just have to wait a short time to...

A friend at work (who is having a baby in a couple weeks) gave me an adorable gift! It's called a “Sleep Sheep”. It plays music and is really soft! I can't wait to try it out. When I was looking at the website, I also found the “Twilight Turtle”. AND I WANT HIM SO...

I had my doctor’s appointment today and I was happy to hear that the baby was still head down. This was the first of the internal exams and the doc’s comment was “wow, she’s low”. So that was good. And my cervix had started to soften. I was 36 weeks yesterday, so any progress at...

I love puzzles. Always have. I just don't put them together nearly enough. I have so many of them sitting in my cabinet waiting to be put together. For Christmas, I got a new puzzle from Chuck's mom. When she came over for Christmas with Chuck's sister and sister's husband, we had a huge snowstorm...

This was a meal from Let's Dish. I knew Chuck was going to love this meal (with all the different meats and the spicy flavor), but I was unsure how I would like it. Here are the ingredients: First you cook the bag with the meats and seasonings. After cooking the meat, you add the...

I wanted to write something witty or funny or with lots of pictures. But I'll admit, I have not had the motivation or the energy lately to do so. If you pay any attention to my countdown at the top, you'll see that I have 38 days to go until my due date. When I...

Yesterday we drove back from Iowa. Today we drove to Duluth to see Chuck’s dad. That was such a hard trip to make. I cried a few times on the way up there. But I really wanted to hold myself together. Chuck and I didn’t really know what to expect since we hadn’t seen him...

Today is Sunday, and Wednesday we headed down to Iowa to spend some time with Chuck’s grandparents. We weren’t able to go at Thanksgiving because the weather wasn’t good enough to travel. Any other year we would have gone, but we didn’t want to risk it this year. So I was glad we were able...

I was given this book for my birthday. I was reading another book at the time, but I just finished it last night on my long bus ride home during a snow storm. I was a good book…as are all books I have read by Jodi Picoult. This one was hard to read because it...

Yesterday on the way to work, it was slow going. I take the bus downtown to work and getting downtown was fine. But once we got there, the traffic just stopped. All the snow we had this weekend was still around downtown. They had plowed the streets, but there wasn't anywhere for the buses to...

I little over a month ago, I got myself some new tennis shoes. I thought they were great to (possibly) help keep me in shape with all the walking I have done. I found them at Walmart. They are these: They are like the Sketchers “Shape-Ups” that you have seen around…only MUCH cheaper. I love...

One of my best friends, Katie, had her third baby early this morning. They named him Connor and he is so adorable! He was 8 pounds, 8 ounces, and 19.75 inches long. They originally thought he had red hair, but now it looks like he has light brown/blonde hair instead. He looks just like his...

Apparently, when you look like this: And you wear these for a couple hours to your husband's holiday party: Your feet and ankles look like this: I have learned my lesson. I will not wear heels for the duration of this pregnancy. And I most definitely won't think it's ok to dance in them to...
