36 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…

Bookish Questions – Favorite Cover Art?

What book has your favorite cover art? For me, the cover art of a book is a big deal, especially if it’s a book I love.  I think it’s the artist in me. I want to have a beautiful copy of my book that I can display, and that really conveys the atmosphere of the…

Fashion Friday – Mommy & Me

As an expectant mom, I have noticed a trend lately of dressing your child to match your outfit, particularly among mothers and daughters.  As a general rule, I’m not sure how I feel about this trend.  I feel like it’s the sort of thing that my child will look back on and hate.  But at…

35 Weeks

Yesterday marked 35 weeks of pregnancy.  It was a pretty calm week at the office, which was much appreciated since Spot found another way to cause problems. 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…

Bookish Questions – What do you plan to read next?

What do you plan to read next? I’ve got a couple of books that I recently purchased which I am really looking forward to reading.  One is The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness.  I stumbled across a copy in the bargain bin at my local Dollar General store, but if you aren’t so lucky to…

Baby 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…

33 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…
