Posted on September 20, 2011 by Sarah

Moooo!

Posted on August 31, 2011 by Sarah

It’s funny now to read back over my previous entries fretting about motherhood…particularly about how the breast pumps freaked me out. Little did I know that I would be a pumping superstar. For most of my life I’ve had an … Continue reading →

Tell me again who’s fault the debt is?

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Sarah

Today is my son’s due date. However, he was actually born 5 weeks ago! It’s hard to believe he’s been home with us about a month now already. The little details are already starting to fade, so I wanted to … Continue reading →

Hello, 3rd trimester

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Sarah

Up until this point, I’ve had some mild discomforts…not enough to really complain about compared to what some women go through. However, now it feels as though whatever was in my belly was replaced with lead – the baby feels … Continue reading →

Sugar = bad

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Sarah

Time to be thankful for the small things. I’m back at the blood lab to have my second glucose test. I’ve had to fast since midnight last night and I’m stuck here for 4 hours of nothing but glucose drink … Continue reading →

Happy BIRTH day to me

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Sarah

So, appropriately enough, I spent my birthday yesterday at our first “prepared childbirth” class. It wasn’t at all what I expected. When I think childbirth, I think of the old ’70s Bill Cosby sketch with him hooting and puffing along … Continue reading →
