I wasn’t 100% sure I’d be sharing another photo this week: I had a high blood pressure reading and suddenly we thought we might be heading to Labor & Delivery a little earlier than planned! That’s not the case, but it did prompt my doctor to ask that this be my last week of work. […]

I was lucky to make it this far without any colds or falling prey to the flu, but my luck just ended. And it’s been a long time since achy cold symptoms have knocked me out as they did this weekend. Oh, how the Sudafed and Ibuprofen are calling my name! Aron has been making […]

Today we start my 37th week, which is the week the baby is considered full term. I can’t say how fortunate I feel that he seems to be doing so well, and has sat tight all these weeks without giving us any scares. (Talk to me again if I’m still waiting to meet him at […]

One of the joys of taking these weekly photos has been paying such close attention to the changes in our little park. Right now it’s probably in peak bloom. There was a time, a few weeks back when–with the Cherry and Dogwood and Magnolia trees and the tulips all out–that it didn’t seem like it […]

We had a great time in Cape Cod–eating lots of seafood (I think I may have gone over the recommended 12-ounces this week), riding bikes, and reading, just as we’d planned. I’ve been feeling great, with the exception of some heartburn, and continue to marvel at how fast the time is flying by. I brought […]

This past week was hot, hot, hot in New York! The record-breaking temperatures really made me understand why, when people hear that I’m due at the end of July, they tend to say “Good–you only have to be pregnant for half of summer.” I usually love the heat, but this was overkill! In fact, Aron […]

My bike was destroyed in the snow (and now lays in a sad heap on the side of the road, awaiting scavengers). I figured we wouldn’t bother replacing it at this point, but we spotted a perfectly-sized road bike for a great price on Saturday! I had almost forgotten how amazing it is to ride […]

It’s actually a little confusing when folks ask me how far along I am. Am I 31 weeks or 32? I know they could probably care less about the distinction, but it must be strange how long it takes me to answer. This is really my 32nd week, but as it is just beginning I’m […]

I can’t believe I’ve reached the 30-week-mark! Aron and just went to see my OB together and all looks (or sounds, rather) good! They asked if I feel him moving, which almost made me laugh because the answer is: all the time. I love it. The feeling has changed of late. Most likely because he […]
I definitely feel like I turned a corner as soon as this trimester began: my feet now hurt if my shoes are too flat (there go those cute gladiator sandals I lived in last summer); I’m suddenly have more trouble getting to sleep (there’s something big and round in the way); and I keep making […]
