First Big-Girl Bath

Stella’s first bath in the baby bathtub was a success! Before today, I had only given her sponge baths. Since her umbilicus fell off last week (ohmahgod my baby is growing up so quickly; she already lost her umbilical stump!), and the last of the scab is finally gone, I decided to give her a [...]

Two Weeks Old

Stella is two weeks old today! We just got back from her two-week check up, and the doctor said she’s doing “great.” He noted that she is very strong, and that she is eating like a champ–she’s gained a pound in about 10 days. It is pretty obvious that she’s eating well–she’s getting a little [...]

Our Child’s Birth, Live on the Interwebs

Larry is going to twitter the labor and birth of the baby.* Well, he’s going to try, although I have my doubts that when things get really heavy that he’ll want/remember to do it. (What I mean is, he’s supposed to be my Labor Coach–I need him to coach me, not type messages into the [...]

Baby!

Just kidding. No baby. That’s me, six weeks old, and so little that my mom was hiding behind me and holding me up with one hand. Kind of like a puppet.
Stay tuned! Little Bethany part deux is coming soon!

Any Day Now

Baby. Baby. Baby. Baby. Baby. Baby. NO Baby. Not yet.
We’re all ready to go–we put the final touches on the nursery, installed the car seat, and packed the hospital bag. Now we just wait.
I’m feeling huge and a bit uncomfortable. I can put socks on, but I can’t really cross my legs anymore. I’ve given [...]

Whoa, Mama

A little update on the pregnancy…
Everything is still going well! I don’t have gestational diabetes, nor am I anemic. Yay! I joked to the doctor that it must be all the hamburgers I’ve been eating, and she sternly said “that’s not the course of action I recommend for anemia.” KIDDING, Doc. Then she told me [...]

Doing Good.

I had my 28-week appointment last Thursday, and everything is going just fine for both the baby and me. We’ve got a strong heart rate, normal blood pressure, average size, and not much to complain about. 11 1/2 weeks to go and so far, so good.
I had to take the standard gestational diabetes glucose test [...]

20 Weeks: The Big Ultrasound

It’s a girl!
I had the big ultrasound today, and my intuition was right! There’s a little girl in there! I’m so excited, and it seems so much more real now–a daughter. I wonder if she’ll be a blondie, like me.

Of course, I would have been just as happy with a boy (and I would have [...]

Then Comes Grumpope* in a Baby Carriage

I have a secret. I’m going to tell all of you right now.
I’m pregnant!
That’s right, knocked up, preggers, with child, expecting, got a bun in the oven.
It’s becoming fairly obvious now, and even my clients at work know, so I figured it’s time to tell the world. I’m about 18 weeks along, and my due [...]
