27 Weeks
Spot is 27 weeks along now and, based on her latest scans, doing well. She moved around so much that I wasn’t sure they would be able to get everything they needed, but they were able to tell that Spot has gained 6oz in the last 2 weeks, making her a total of 1lb and…

We’re 25 weeks along and Spot had her 2nd visit to the high-risk OB this week. I’m happy to report that Spot gained 5 ounces in the last 2 weeks, for an approximate 1lb and 3oz, moving her up from the 5th percentile to the 9th. We go back again in another 2 weeks for…
Read More24 Weeks – That’s 6 Months, People!
First, the important stuff — I have super good news to report about all the bloodwork I had to have done last week. It came back negative for the infectious diseases and genetic abnormalities they were testing for! Right now that means we get to move on with the thought that Spot is just a…

I’m officially at Week 19 of my pregnancy. That means that little Spot is almost 6-inches long (the length of a US dollar), and at 8.5 ounces is a little over half a pound. I think I’ve even gained about a pound myself. I’m pretending that it isn’t from all of the popcorn I’ve been…
Read MoreSpot the Pomegranate
Hi, everybody! Spot is currently is week #17 of his or her existence. According to the internet, that makes Spot roughly the size of a pomegranate. Personally, I’ve never understood the reason that babies in utero are compared to food. Perhaps sizes of food items are more regular somewhere else in the world, but around…
Read MoreIntroducing Spot
For those of you who might have missed the announcement buried inside this week’s Bookish Questions post, My husband and I are expecting a baby this April. I had to go in for a super early ultrasound due to some previous complications. The ultrasound showed that everything was good, and the baby was right…
