You know you’re pregnant when..#Knitting

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

You have the insatiable hunger to “make” things. How old fashioned am I? I decided that after years of playing around with knitting – I am going to learn to do it and do it well. (Never too old to learn).
So I started sewing up this here soaker. Actually – [...]

Seeing a High-Risk Fetal Doctor.. #Ultrasound #Pics

Filed under Pictures, Pregnancy

Reading time: 4 – 7 minutes

My latest OBGYN recommended to me on Monday that he would like for me to see a High-Risk specialist. Why? Well – when Carli was born she was only 5lbs, 4oz at almost 38 weeks gestation. The average weight around 37 weeks is about 6.5lbs. Obviously, Carli was not 6.5lbs. [...]

Tuna, beneficial in Pregnant & Breastfeeding Women?

Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine.
One of the biggest myths we’re faced with today is to avoid seafood, especially tuna. With high-level mercury fishes being correlated to fetal issues (primarily Autism) pregnant women are hesitant to eat tuna [...]

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes

Last week I went to a new OBGYN in Winter Park, as recommended to me by a friend. As it turns out, it is a small practice as their hours are by appointment only. So the wait was literally, less than 5 minutes. I went in, filled out a few [...]

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

It’s been a busy, busy holiday! Our little toddler, Miss Carli – was spoiled beyond comprehension! We woke up early that morning and got her ready for the festivities at my parents house. As per the picture to the left – you can tell it was a “I just woke [...]

Tired ALL the Time!

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes

I know in part it has to do with just being pregnant – but, my GOD – I am tired ALL the time. I usually nap when Carli does – and sometimes (as Forrest has been home this week) I will sleep until the evening time. Still, though – I [...]

Mickey’s Very Merry Xmas Party

Filed under Children, Pictures, Pregnancy, Videos

Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes

The only thing that I don’t quite understand about Disney’s Christmas Party, is that for something made for children – the hours surely aren’t anything to be recommended. 7pm+? Carli enjoyed all of an hour and a half before she just got way too tired. By 9:30, when the fireworks [...]

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes

So this isn’t the clearest of pictures, but you know what? It’s a baby and that is what matters, especially after our scare this morning.
The past 3-4 days I have been suffering from horrible morning sickness. The kind where I really do not want to get out of bed. [...]

Hello World! (I feel Yucky!)

Filed under Pregnancy

Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes

I was hoping to escape this “morning sickness” stuff as I was feeling so great earlier. Though for the past few days I have just been feeling down right crummy! My stomach says “feed me” but my appetite doesn’t think anything sounds remotely good.
I will get moments of “this sounds [...]

Filed under Cloth Diapers, General, Pregnancy

Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes

Why not 40, you ask? Well  I was only 37 weeks, 4 days when I had Carli so my countdown is until full term. This is all based on estimation as my official sonogram to date is not until the 14th so I may be 6 weeks, or I may [...]

Filed under Pregnancy

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes

There isn’t much to do in this early pregnancy. I don’t exactly feel pregnant and don’t at all look pregnant. But the truth is, a lot is happening and in the scheme of things, the little Bug is rapidly growing at an incredible rate.
I went to the website, Pregnology.org – [...]

It’s not every day that I’ll be discussing food, but with this item.. I just had to. After all, I am pregnant and food is a top priority (right up there with not not having morning sickness and developing a healthy embryo turn fetus).
Forrest and I were at Sam’s Club [...]

I have a lot to be thankful for this year – as much as I have complained about this or that. What better day (other than every day) to show appreciation for the little things in your life?
