We’ve been busy around here recently, mainly helping Elise make those next big steps in her life – sleeping sans crib. Her crib broke, so we took the opportunity to transition her to something without bars. We’ve had absolutely no problems with her new little sleeping set-up, and that’s a great blessing to be [...]

Today is the Third Monday of Lent, and I’ve had ample opportunity to reflect on how Lent has been thus far. One on hand, it’s been a harder Lent than usual, thanks to random bouts of Braxton-Hicks contractions, the effects on me physically, mentally, and spiritually that being this pregnant has had, and a [...] Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had a great birthday – McNuggets, a bubble bath, and an early bedtime. Novel concept alert: going to bed early counteracts the 50978347683758274871895 times I wake up at night for the restroom, so I actually am (slowly) starting to feel less sleep-deprived. I still am ready for [...] And am I an ornery pregnant lady, too. My hide is a little chappy because once again, we’re getting into that territory of “Elise is not doing X at her age, I’d like an evaluation done when she’s 2 if she’s not doing it by then.” We don’t agree that if X isn’t happening [...] I just finished with our 37-week check-up and we are AWESOME. - Little One is totally head down, and the ‘bump’ at the top of my uterus is actually LO’s butt. How cute. – I’m still gaining weight (I think I’m almost +30 for this pregnancy) but that’s not cause for concern. – The [...] Exspectantes posted a post yesterday afternoon that really has me thinking. Her thoughts on making a home, especially why it’s so important to her. I suppose this isn’t shocking to anyone, but my mom is the typical ‘Type A personality’ (which is something her and I get a lot of laughs out of). I’m [...] All the pain from yesterday has subsided. Which I guess is okay, Greg can testify that I was pretty crabby by the end of the day. I think it stopped sometime overnight, because I haven’t noticed it today. That’s about 14+ hours of pain – yuck. On the upside, Little One did drop (a [...] Something that has become glaringly obvious this Lent is how I react to stress. Different kinds of stress produce in me different reactions, and not really any of them are good. When I’m tired. I’m a basket case of emotion and crying all over the place. When I’m in pain, my short temper comes [...] In the last 48 hours, I have slept for 10. I wish I could say it was due to labor but alas, it’s due to insomnia + RLS. The worst was waking up Friday morning at 5am and not falling asleep until … 2am, this morning. Thank God Greg and his mom are doing [...] I’m happy to say that today has been oodles better than yesterday. I still am not sleeping very well (which may be part of the reason why I feel so unsteady lately), but fidelity to my little prayer routine has really been beneficial in getting through the humps of hormones and whatever the Other [...] |
