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…
Read MoreFashion 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…
Read More35 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…
Read MoreBook It!
February is almost over, and I am still doing well with my goal of reading 12 books this year. I’ve already completed twice the number of books that I need to read so far, but with baby “Spot” Turner coming next month, I have a feeling that my reading time is going to all but…
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 MoreBookish 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…
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…
Read More32 Weeks
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…
