FotoFriday – The Bump
(yes - I cut my head out on purpose. also? what the hell kind of shape is my ass?)Four years ago today was my due date. My boys were both born on their due dates, so I expected this one to come on time as well but we waited 5 extra days to meet the one who would completely complete … [Read more...]
One Hour
I hobbled into bed on Sunday night, convinced that I was going to go down in history as the world's first woman to experience Eternal Pregnancy, since the baby seemed to be showing no signs of readying for her arrival. When I roused at two o'clock for my first pee of the night, I felt a painful … [Read more...]

But to add insult to injury, my poor, exhausted rear-end has birthed two hemorrhoids (the size of … [Read more...]
Better Safe
Sometimes I wish they did mandatory C-sections at 37 weeks gestation. Not just because anything past that point in a pregnancy is uncomfortable and tiresome, but for the peace of mind of the mother and the safety of the baby.I am aware that nature knows best and of course it wise to let the body do … [Read more...]
