what craving?

Warning: all about the 36 week Snork scan I woke up this morning positively giddy about another chance to glimpse the Snork. I wondered how big he was, if he was in a good position…and most of all craving the words “normal” and “healthy”. The size factor, truthfully, has had me a bit angsty. Nothing [...]

Warning: Nursery photo post, click away if you need to. I get it. So it was over a month ago that Snork’s room looked and felt like it was a storage room. I had almost convinced myself that I wouldn’t even get to his room until after he arrived. After all plenty of you fabulous [...]

Warning: Snork Related post The alternate title of this post is, “She is making me do it!” My wonderful internet friend (that quickly morphed into a real life friend), Jennifer, has decided that the Snork is going to have a little internet party. In fact she all out insisted on it. But the large truth [...]

before room photo

Warning: Snork talk A few days ago I began to feel an old familiar sensation in my body. I used to call this feeling the “dammits” as it was always, always, always the precursor to my period. It’s a tight and light lingering cramp right above my pubic bone area. It is all kinds of [...]

Warning: All about life & times with Snork So ready to hear something that will blow your mind? Today I begin the 8th month of pregnancy. This is both extremely exciting and extremely OHMYGOODNESSISTHISREALLYGOINGTOHAPPEN?? Things have been kind of mellow and smooth (touch wood) in my gut. Snork feels very much like a rotisserie chicken [...]

Warning: Post about  OB visit If anyone tells you that they don’t get anxious about the one hour glucose test they are flat out lying. Last night I was restless and fretting and just all around convinced that this morning’s result would be an epic fail. And as much as gestational diabetes isn’t directly related [...]

my cleaned off desk

Saturday’s mini meltdown turned into a productive Sunday for me. I searched the house for the most powerful vacuum I have ever seen (GM’s ancient electrolux) and finally located it in a box in the hall closet. I knew it would be the only tool strong enough to collect the million Christmas tree needles that [...]

Warning: Snork references within post (which, if you must know, is a mini rant about creating a baby registry) So I am taking the freaky-deaky plunge into the OMG world of baby registry. It feels weird, and wrong, and odd, to spend so much time gazing at millions of baby products and wondering what the [...]

postcard from a friend

Warning: Eventually this post ends up being about the Snork. While digging around for something on the kitchen counter last night I stumbled across a pile of  letters that contained an old postcard. A good friend sent me this well over a year ago. Seeing the card, reading the most perfect words on the card, [...]
