We just got back from our 38 week appointment. Things are good. She's still comfy inside her home and I fear she doesn't want to come out any time soon (HOPE I AM WRONG). Jim seems to think it might happen next week once I'm back at work and moving around more (HOPE HE'S RIGHT). …
Anxiously Waiting and RTW (Return to Work)
Hi All!!! Another week down. Now that I'm officially to term this little girl can come anytime she'd like. Jim is taking his GMAT test today and I'm not to go into labor until after 4pm today (: I think I'll make it. Our appointment went well yesterday. It was pretty simple. We just went …

Life is Good.
Life was good before too, but now it's good good now that I can move my body!! The doctor released me from bed rest on Thursday and I could not be any happier. I got the "ok" to start moving around and building up my strength and endurance before little girl gets here. After out appointment …
35 Weeks and Last Week of Bed Rest
We have our 36 wk appointment on Thursday and I couldn't be more anxious/excited! Our doctor said she'd release me from bed rest once (if) we made it to 36. What I'm hoping is that she'll count our appointment as that milestone instead of Sunday when I technically turn 36 weeks. When I say I …
Product Review: Mia2
Product Review: This was my xmas present. I thought about getting one for years, but thought it was overpriced and was concerned about its effectiveness. In addition, I knew there were cheaper versions out there. What convinced me to try it were many positive recommendations and reviews about Mia out there on the interwebs. This …

Labor of Love
Bed rest is poorly named. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is restful about it. Before experiencing it first hand, I was guilty of thinking it would actually be a treat to spend a few weeks of pregnancy on the couch having nothing else to do but watch my favorite movies and flip through my favorite magazines. …
