Today at work, an unknown coworker stopped me in the hallway and proclaimed that I was “so cute with my little round belly!” and wanted to know when I was due. I wanted to hug and kiss her for 1. knowing I was pregnant and not just chunky and 2. calling me cute and my [...]

I’m getting a very strong “boy” vibe with this pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Maddie, I consistently referred to the baby as “she” even before we knew she was a girl. This time, I’m calling the baby “he,” even when I’m thinking to myself. Of course, I could be way off base but I [...]

I’m knocked up, yo. I’m going to the OB tomorrow for another blood draw to check progesterone and hCG levels. Then I’ll go back 48 hours later for a repeat to check and see if the hCG is rising as it’s supposed to. We’ve told the family and close friends, and now I get to [...]
