37 weeks

Any day now, baby. Any day.  Though it would be nice if you’d wait until after the Derby.  Or better yet, after my final on Tuesday.  Then let ‘er rip.  Oooh, poor choice of words.  Please do NOT let ‘er rip.
This, I think, must be the defining characteristic of pregnancy: the nonchalant sharing of more [...]

Lotsa questions, some answers, a little preaching

Is Notre Dame the place to be right now? Only if you like your health-related panic tinged with the frothy madness of activists inclined to wave gory images of aborted fetuses through the streets and skies above campus!
Should I be panicking about swine flu now that it’s been identified in town?  Not unless I’ve been [...]

Two days till full term!

Posted in pregomatic on April 28, 2009 | 4 Comments »

And all is well.  I’ve spent the last week resting an awful lot, mostly because it was way too uncomfortable to be up and moving around for more than five minutes at a time, but the last day and a half or so, I’ve felt pretty good.  Good enough, in fact, to waddle to the [...]

People invent all kinds of nifty things!

Like an online contraction timer!  This is extremely handy for someone like myself who still has Braxton-Hicks contractions every day, and is always running out of scraps of paper to make sure they’re not getting more frequent or regular.  I assume it will be extremely handy for when the big show starts.  Now I wish [...]

Oh, dear.

Let’s see, how has my body changed today?
The combination of warmer weather and being quite pregnant has finally brought on one of the scourges I was hoping to avoid: my feet are bigger.  I think.  They may just be a little puffier.  I hope.
My beloved Chucks have more or less given up the ghost, and [...]

Yes, it’s important to get the baby’s room together, stockpiling essentials like newborn-size diapers and gowns and onesies (oh my!), but let’s not lose perspective here.  What on earth will I do when I need my favorite chocolate-chip cookies and am held hostage either by pain, exhaustion, or a baby at my boob?
Thank goodness we [...]

36 weeks

Look! I found a backdrop (ahem, old sheet with an inoffensive print)!  I look positively tiny from this angle, but I assure you, there’s a full thirty pounds extra contained in that belly there–and increasingly of late, those hips and thighs.  My pre-pregnant self weighed in at 138 this summer.  My 35 week, 5 day [...]

Excellence in Bad-Idea-ery

There are bad ideas, and then there are Singularly Bad Ideas.  The “Million Armed Militia March on Washington” is a bright shining example of the latter.

Counting chickens

Sure, I’m excited that we may have a baby before May 21 (though not too much before May 21).  Is it okay to admit that yeah, having the baby here and out of my body will be great, but I’m almost as excited about the possibility that I’d be much more likely to be able [...]
