Life as I know it in Rural America.
We’re at 33 weeks! That means that we only have 3 more weeks to full-term! It’s been a bit of a busy week for Spot. We had Baptism class last Thursday night, a non-stress test at our regular OB on Friday, and Tuesday morning we had another anatomy scan. And since we hadn’t had one Read More …
Spot has been cooking for 32 weeks now. We’ve hit the 8-month mark! And thank goodness. I am super ready to be done with the pregnancy part, even if being responsible for another human for the rest of my life seems more than a bit daunting. I had my 3-hour glucose test last Friday, along Read More …
What is your favorite romance novel? It is February and Valentines’s Day is in a week, so I can’t think of a better time to talk about romance novels. I’ve personally never been a big fan of romance novels. I’m even less of a fan of other novel styles, such as the ever-popular YA Dystopian Read More …
There is a lot of crazy going on in the world right now. Most days when I get up, I feel like I should ask for a damage report, a la Captain Picard in Star Trek. That’s why I’m glad to so many designers and fashion companies that I already support have found ways to help Read More …
I’m 31 weeks along now. Yea for being another week closer to meeting the still unnamed Spot! You wouldn’t think there would bet much in the way of health news this week, as I’ve actually managed to not have an appointment with the doctor since my last update. But, somehow there is. I am randomly Read More …
It’s a new year and I’m looking forward to all of the reading I will get to do in the next couple of months before baby gets here. After that, I figure that my reading time will drop dramatically, or that I will end up spending most of my time reading baby books. That’s not Read More …
I’m 30 weeks along now and have managed to keep myself from being hospitalized for a whole week since my release. Yea! I am still having pain on my right side, and my liver enzyme levels are still off, but the doctors can’t seem to find a cause. At this point, they believe it to Read More …
What is your least favorite kids’ book of all time? I’ve heard horror stories about children who want the same story read to them over and over again. Obviously, I will eventually hate whatever book my child deems her favorite, just because I have to read it all the time. I’m expecting that, but I Read More …
Spot is now 29 weeks along, but this last week was a rough one. I ended up having to go into hospital early last Thursday morning, and wasn’t released until yesterday evening. I went in due to severe pain on the right side of my abdomen, which was all the more concerning for being 28 Read More …
