Leaving a couple, to return as a family...
Leaving NY this trip was especially bittersweet for me for so many reasons. First being that it will be my last visit there for at least six months or so. On the heels of that, I won’t see my sister or my dad again until this kid is born (mom’s coming in February…yay!). On the heels of THAT…this is the last time Jonny and I will be there, just us. Come less than 12 weeks...

Wait until she lands one in your ribs. Or right on your bladder. Those are a little less amazing.
Both have happened, my friend. Either just lodging the foot up by my right ribs (I can feel the thing from the outside!!) or punching on my nether regions. Some hits have actually taken my breath away! Haha! She’s definitely...

So, this kid is stubborn, in that she will never kick on demand. I’ll be all excited and tell Jonny or my mom or whoever to put their hand on my belly and she will immediately stop kicking. Little shit.
So we were having trouble getting my mom to feel her movements, which were seriously crazy over the weekend! She loved the party and was kicking like mad when everyone was there. (This may...

Did you coordinate sweaters on purpose? Because I think that’s better than a corsage!
We totes didn’t plan it, but it does make up for the lack of “prom” decor, doesn’t it?

Ds, holiday parties, registering and all kindsa...
This sums up my holiday pretty nicely:
I’ve seriously missed NY pizza.
I’ve lived in Chicago too long and have forgotten what a good NY bagel tastes like, because I bought some for my parents’ house from the “bad” bagel place and I thought they were pretty good bagels. Oops.
My parents hadn’t seen my belly since September and holy moly, it’s BIGGER....

This is what I get for not posting in a week...
There are so many posts of all of yours that I want to read, but I fear I will never get to them all. I’m hearting all of them in spirit.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah and Happy Kwanza and Happy almost New Year to everyone!

Hi Jack, I'm Annette.......you're doing it wrong.
If anyone can name that reference, I’ll love you for life.
Ever feel like you’re just doing everything wrong? I’m a little off today in general, but I just got the results from my glucose screening, which was normal (yay! No gestational diabetes!), and I’m fairly iron deficient, so I need to start taking a supplement.
I understand this is pretty common in pregnancy, but...

OMG YOUR BOOBS!
Seriously…it’s insanity. I’m trying to enjoy them now before they get sadly, sadly flattened by (hopeful) breastfeeding. Oy.
KIDS SHOULD REALLY BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THEIR MOTHERS GO THROUGH FOR THEM. I MEAN REALLY.

Pregnancy tip...
For any of y’all out there who are pregnant or are hoping to be pregnant or just for future reference…
While it’s totally nice and helpful to get maternity clothing from friends/relatives who’ve been through it, unfortunately you cannot count on it…for many reasons.
Today’s reason: People just carry differently/have different bodies than you.

No taste, no enjoy...
My lunch might as well be a big bowl of poop for as much as I can taste right now.
This cold is full on. And it ain’t stoppin’. I can barely breathe and I am without any sense of smell or taste. This has been the majority of the weekend, despite many neti pots, much saline nasal spray, and a phone call to the doctor (why do my problems always happen on the weekends when I have to call...

Just spreading some joy this blustery morning.
Posting from the couch
Well I tried to get up. Even took a shower and washed my hair! But every instinct told me to stay home and let myself rest. Yesterday was the funeral that I’d talked about the other day, for Jonny’s uncle, and we ran around and did family things all day.
Though it was for family and it was worth it, I think I pushed myself a little too hard. So I think this is where it’s...

Posting from bed
I believe I have the beginnings of a cold. My head is foggy, my throat is knivey and my right nostril is clogged. Normally I’d buck up and get going and see where the cold goes. But right now, as a pregnant lady, I’m wondering if it’s best to stay home at this stage to stave it off or let it break and see how I do.
Sigh. I’d really love it if this would just go away now...

12 Extremely Disappointing Facts About Popular... →
Spoiler alert…not all that surprising, and really not that disappointing either.
So many points about this article to be made. Let me preface by saying that a few years ago, I could have written this article. These 12 points were just what would get me steamed up about the music industry. Maybe I’ve gone soft, but they don’t have the same effect on me now…and here’s...

Mama...ma....mom...mama...hey mom....mama...ma....
Someone woke me up at 4:30 this morning with some fierce kicking. Then all of a sudden I got this overwhelming hunger…stomach grumbling like crazy. So I got up and padded down the hall to the kitchen, sleepily scooped some Cheerios into a ramekin and brought it back to my bed, all the while shoving handfuls in my mouth like a crazed, hungry sleepwalker.

In the last three years, I’ve been to four funerals. That’s kind of a lot. Another one is, unfortunately, imminent.
I’ve watched television shows or movies or whatever where it is decided that there is nothing else doctors can do for someone and death is just…the only thing that can result. And the person has to be told. And they have to wait....
