Thursday I got an unexpected call from my friend Allison. Allison was my best friend from college but we haven’t spoken in a really long time. So long in fact, that when she called and I asked her if she even knew I was pregnant she responded by asking if I knew she had a [...]

I never posted about my 38 week appointment on Monday. Probably because it was totally uneventful..
Midwife Judy (who was the one who took care of me during my first preterm labor episode) didn’t offer me an internal and I didn’t ask for one figuring that I’d get one at my next 39 week appointment.
This made [...]

The nursery is finally finished! Here is a little gallery of images, I couldn’t get the captions working so here is a list of where everything [...]

Wednesday Jeff called me from work. Turns out his co-workers threw him a surprise baby shower!!
So incredibly sweet and unexpected. He said he was totally embarrassed and was sweating the whole time while opening gifts. We got some really nice useful things, including a bunch of organic swaddlers and the like because Jeff is the [...]

It’s been a very long time since I posted a belly shot. Mostly because I can barely stand to look at myself these days, why would anyone else want to??
But in honor of the much anticipated arrival of my brand new Canon Digital Rebel yesterday I took a few pics of the only subject around [...]

Sunday marked an important milestone, little Jasper turned 37 weeks old and is now full term - yay!!! He’s welcome, indeed strongly ENCOURAGED to make his appearance anytime now, preferably sooner rather than later as mommy is getting very uncomfortable.
Sunday night I had menstrual like cramps all night long (I know this because I woke [...]

I have read so many ecstatic reviews by new moms on the nest about their moby baby carriers that I figured I’d better get one too!
Of course a plain solid color one won’t do, so I’m going to place an order with etsy seller Lovey Duds who makes the wraps in your choice of her [...]

I have seen new moms on the nest.com refer to these sound machines as crack for babies.
If you’ve seen the Happiest Baby on the Block DVD (and if you haven’t, you need to!) Dr. Sears describes why babies are so soothed by certain sounds. If his shushing in the ear technique doesn’t work, he [...]

On the scale that is!
159 today. UGH. That’s up from 153 at my last appointment just over two weeks ago. How can you gain 3lbs a week? At this point baby is growing about .5 lbs a week, so the other 2.5 are going to my butt and thighs which I really thought couldn’t get [...]

But first, some pictures!
The rug arrived from Target last night and I love it:

So last weekend we went to our first childbirth preparation class.
I was worried it would be weird because it’s at the hospital we WOULD have delivered at had I stayed with the evil OBs. Jeff was convinced they’d [...]
