Those of you that follow me on twitter undoubtedly saw my frantic posting about being in labor last night. Since I’m not sitting here typing my son’s birth story, you can guess that it was once again The False Labor. The contractions started around 3:00 and by 5:30, they were five minutes apart and pretty [...]

My 35 week OB appointment went well. I had a sonogram and The Boy is estimated to weigh 6lbs and he’s in the 55% percentile. He’s measuring a week ahead based on head, femur and stomach sizes. His teeny balls have descended and were QUITE visible on the sonogram. For some reason, it makes me [...]

Yesterday, I awoke with the energy and desire to clean my house. Not everything, but the things I hate to clean the most. I put some laundry in and did five loads throughout the day. Including our and Maddie’s sheets and remade the beds. I swept the kitchen and entry way and cleaned the baseboards. [...]

Look, I wanna post. Really, I do. But all I’ve got is bitching and moaning about being hugely, miserably pregnant. And let’s face it, no one wants to hear that.

So, it seems like my belly has exploded in the last two weeks. How is it that this kid only weighs 4lbs, 10oz?

You know, I’ve always heard other women talk about feeling their baby’s kicks. I’ve heard about strong kicks that hurt, fluttering kicks that tickle, etc. But I’ve never heard anyone talk about the crazy ass distortions one’s pregnant belly goes through. When I was pregnant with Maddie my obesity meant that I didn’t feel her [...]

Things I still need to do before the baby arrives: * Go through all of the baby stuff we have in storage and wash it all with bleach. *shudder* * Go through all of Maddie’s baby clothes and pull out anything that’s gender neutral for The Boy to use, send the awesome things to Mama [...]

This is not the pregnancy/birth experience that I wanted. Neither was my first. I know I’m not alone in this and I’m not the only woman to feel betrayed by her own body, to be steamrolled into medical interventions that she doesn’t want, to be run through a system that doesn’t necessarily have her best [...]
