Mildred Jane at 2 Months
One Month
Mildred turned 1 month old on Monday. It seems like we were just in the hospital with her a week ago, but that might just be because I’ve probably only gotten a week’s worth of sleep in the last month. I should probably just be glad that I’m not Milli. She’s been having tummy troubles…
Read MoreI Need a Nap
Somehow Mildred manages to sleep all the time, but I still don’t manage to get a nap, or any sleep at all, unless someone else is here to watch her. It’s like she knows that I have laid down and she doesn’t like it. Fortunately, there are lots of people who want to hang out…
Read MoreWelcome Spot!
Today was supposed to be a post about my 37th week of pregnancy, however baby Turner, henceforth known as Mildred Jane, decided to show up early. My water broke about 8:45 on Thursday night, and Mildred was born on Friday morning. And because everyone always wants to know, the official statistics were as follows: Mildred…
Read More36 Weeks
We are at 36 weeks, and it feels like a miracle that I’ve survived being pregnant this long. With all of the issues we have had in the last trimester, it’s nice to be at what is considered “full term.” That way Spot can come any time now, and it would be perfectly OK. According…

For some unknown reason, my blood pressure was high at last Friday’s NST (Non-Stress Test). Spot looked fine, of course, but the increase in blood pressure meant that…
Read More34 Weeks
Spot has been cooking for 34 weeks now. And with plans to take her early, we are on the final countdown, looking at weeks instead of months. It’s making me feel a bit panic-y. Thankfully we had the baby shower last weekend. That gives me a couple more weeks to figure out what we still…
Read MoreBaby Shower
We had Spot’s baby shower over the weekend. There was good food, and lots of lovely people. Spot made out like a bandit. I think she is going to be a very spoiled child. I honestly didn’t realize that one tiny person could need so much stuff. I mean, honestly, that is a LOT of…
Read More33 Weeks
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…
