The Elephant in the Room, Part 2…Oh wait. That’s me.

Posted on August 30, 2010 by larva225

Over the past week, I’ve noticed a change in the way that strangers and non-strangers alike are reacting to me.  While the scale says I haven’t changed much, I guess maybe the way I am carrying myself (or should I … Continue reading →

My fetus will get you, my pretty….and your little dog, too

Posted on August 25, 2010 by larva225

When we were born, neither Will nor I were giant babies.  From what we’ve been told, we were both under 7 pounds.  As I’ve progressed through my pregnancy, I have often been comforted by that, as most research seems to … Continue reading →

Wax On, Wax Off, Baby-san

Posted on August 23, 2010 by larva225

This one will be short and stupid. Often when the baby girl starts really cutting up inside, I try to envision what it is she could possibly be doing in there.  I mean, it’s a limited space.  There’s no DVR, … Continue reading →

Let me eat cake

Posted on August 20, 2010 by larva225

Emergen-C exit

Posted on August 20, 2010 by larva225

Last week, I went in for the first of my weekly ultrasounds and check-ups which I will have until my delivery.  It was pretty exciting, as I hadn’t seen my little girl since the 20 week anatomy scan.  That 32 … Continue reading →

Nightdrubbing

Posted on August 14, 2010 by larva225

To begin, I’d like to point out that it’s 5:45 on a Saturday morning.  I’ve already been awake for one hour.  I couldn’t tell you the exact reason that I woke up in the first place (no doubt either having … Continue reading →

Of advice and men

Posted on August 11, 2010 by larva225

You’re warned about well-meaning “experts” who want to offer all manner of advice (and physical contact) when you get pregnant.  While I have not yet crossed the finish-line of this pregnancy, even I recognize that all of us are different, … Continue reading →

If I only had a brain

Posted on August 6, 2010 by larva225

Normally, I’m a fairly organized person.  I’m one of these people who loves to have a “master plan,” and will go to great lengths to make that plan.  I love lists.  I even have lists nested within lists.  The goofy … Continue reading →

Sew hot……

Posted on August 1, 2010 by larva225

It’s almost sci-fi hot around here these days.  No, that’s not a commentary on global warming.  It’s merely a fact, considering it’s Louisiana and August.  When you step outside (and if you’re a nerd), you have visions of “Pitch Black” … Continue reading →
