For all these things I am thankful

It probably goes without saying that I am so very thankful this holiday season for the turkey growing in my belly, but also for the turkey on the table, which of course was expertly roasted by this turkey in the kitchen. Since Thanksgiving dinner was going to be enjoyed by just the two (er, three?) [...]

With less than a month to go until the unofficial start of my maternity leave, one might expect to find me panicked, much like I was just a few weeks ago when I made that huge list of things I needed to accomplish before my last day of work, and yet, I’m actually feeling strangely [...]

Pregnant pause

Posted on November 21, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | 11 Comments

Up until this past week, I’d been burning the candle pretty bright at both ends, trying my best keep up with the crazy pace of life I normally put upon myself. Never mind that I’m 34 weeks pregnant, I can still carry those books, sweep that floor, organize the closet, go here, go there, do [...]

Labor of love

Yesterday was our all-day childbirth prep class, the first in a series of several prenatal classes for which we’ve registered, and as to be expected, afterward I found myself emotionally and mentally draaaiiined. We got home around 6, and it took all of me to eat a few bites of leftovers, fill the bath with [...]

I was all set to brag, nay GLOAT, about how I’d hardly gained much weight this whole pregnancy so far, but then I packed on a whopping four pounds in just one week! FOUR POUNDS! I felt pretty sheepish as I left my weekly prenatal appointment yesterday afternoon, as earlier in the day I had [...]

Ever since I made an all-encompassing list of Things I Must Accomplish at Work Before I Pop Out a Kid, my stress level has reached epic proportions. It all seemed to come to a head this week, too, as I felt myself being pushed and pulled in 17 different directions. Part of the problem is [...]

This is what it feels like

So. This is what it feels like to not be totally disheartened after an Election Night. This is what it feels like to have pride in one’s country. This is what it feels like to be not so terrified to be bringing a baby into this world. This is what it feels like to know [...]

November drain

Posted on November 3, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | 9 Comments

After much hemming and hawing, I’ve decided to adopt the Kerri Anne approach to NaBloPoMo in that I am also not going to officially participate this year … and I couldn’t be more relieved. She is so right that readership tends to dwindle during the month of November as everyone madly tries to keep up [...]
