I’m going in every week now. Not much changed in a week. Here’s the info:
Blood pressure – 102/70, weight change – nothing (overall gain of 19 pounds, which is more than I gained in 41 weeks with James), 50% effaced, 1 cm dilated, braxton hicks – 1 or 2 a day, and Lowell? He’s [...]
I hadn’t even blogged about starting this project and it’s already done. A playgroup mommy friend of mine gave me three 50g skeins of Bio-Natur wool in Donkey a week and a half ago. I started knitting a swatch (always, always knit a swatch first – or two or three if you need [...]
The boy seems to be catching a cold. I suppose that’s why he slept so awfully Thursday night. And the only place I can think of where he’d be able to catch a cold is the church childcare during my Thursday morning Bible studies. It’s the only time he’s not with me.
My wonderful 13-hour-plus a night sleeper is gone, overnight. He never went to sleep at 8 pm last night until after 1 am. It was so unusual that I did go in twice (at 10:30 and 12:30) to see what all the crying was about. While awake, like, today, during the day, he seems to [...]
Yeah, so it’s been over a month since my last appointment and the midwife who saw me was pissed about that. I was supposed to have been seen every 2 weeks since 28 weeks along but it’s been a regular 5 weeks between appointments ever since I started there at 12 weeks. I can’t help [...]
James is 34 inches tall, weighs 27 and a half pounds, and has a large noggin’ which puts him in the 90th percentile for height and head and somewhere about average for weight. When he’s around other 18 month olds at playgroups, though, he is shorter than they are and weighs more, so I don’t [...]
For Christmas, my parents got us and my brother (and themselves) each an iSight so we could video chat and they could see James. We’ve used it several times to chat with them. Even when there is no one online to video chat with, James still loves seeing himself in the monitor.
James turned 18 months old yesterday. I don’t want to say it but I’m gonna… He is growing up so fast! There, I said it! He surprised us this week by showing us that he knows how to manipulate door knobs (such as the door to the master bedroom), position and use his stepstool to [...]
So one of my online friends (I know that sounds creepy but it’s not … these are moms who were due in July 2005 with their 1st babies who I met via BabyCenter’s forums and we’ve since moved to our own private site and several of the 50 women have met IRL (In Real Life) [...]
