As I'm sure most of you already know via Facebook, etc. - Dan and I went for our 18 week ultrasound last week and found out baby Richards is a girl! It was really nice because we were able to do the ultrasound on vacation in Florida, and were allowed to bring my parents, and [...]

So yesterday I'm in a meeting at work and the lower right side of stomach starts like, twitching. Not visibly, but on the inside it feels like a little muscle spasm or something and since all kinds of bizarre things have happened with my body lately - a muscle spasm or little twitch doesn't seem that out [...]

This week is number 17 (only 3 more weeks to the halfway mark - how crazy is that!?) and I'm pretty sure baby is doing some serious growing. I know this because a) my uterus, ligaments and abdominal muscles ALL hurt and b) I'm now gaining weight like it's my job. Despite 13-14 weeks of [...]

At 16 weeks I finally got to hear the heartbeat of our little goldfish baby (actually, baby is much bigger than a goldfish by now which is INSANE)!! Before yesterday's appointment I had only seen the heartbeat as a flicker on an ultrasound screen. This week my midwife used the doppler machine to listen to the [...]

This week is number 15 and by far the most exciting thing that happened this week is I started feeling little tiny flutters that I'm told could be the baby moving around! So, so, so cool. Even if it's just a muscle spasm or something, I don't care because it's way more fun to think [...]

Now that it's week 14 and you can definitely tell I ate too many donuts am pregnant, I decided to spoil myself and buy some new clothes - mainly maternity leggings due to the fact that my jeans now not only don't button but also don't zip and also the fact that I love shopping. [...]

Well - I officially had to unbutton my jeans while at work this week. My leggings were in the wash and even though my jeans buttoned while I was standing up - sitting down - not so much. I guess it's time for the belly band. This week marks 13 weeks - and time seems [...]

It seems like it's been months waiting for this trimester to be over (oh wait, it has). BUT 12 weeks is finally here and yesterday's checkup revealed a healthy, happy baby kicking its legs, waving its arms and being generally uncooperative for the ultrasound technician (WOW). After much maneuvering, a couple bathroom breaks and a lot of [...]

Well - we are officially losers. We spent new years at home on the couch - and not even fully awake. The night started out pretty well, I was feeling good enough to go out to dinner and we had a gift card (score!) so we went to a really awesome little place called the [...]

So I'm only 10 weeks pregnant and already a month late in keeping up with this blog. I'm going to blame it on all the mornings (and afternoons and evenings) spent in the fetal position on the couch or under the covers in bed trying to escape such nauseating smells as air, water and groceries. [...]
