I have an awful, awful toothache. I’m really, really hoping our daughter inherits my husband’s teeth and not mine as mine are mush. And because they are mush, they are always in need of work. Of course, I haven’t been to a dentist in two years so there may be some cause and effect. But…

Weighty Matters
I have gained a total of 10 pounds since May. Do not ask me how that’s happened. I wrote earlier about my Issues Oh Dear Lord when it comes to pregnancy, body image, weight gain, etc., so I’ll try to not rehash the same ol’ song and dance. Just the same, yesterday when I got…
Here she is…
I’m going to go ahead and admit that seeing her today on the sonogram was a bit better than Christmas morning. I mean, both have their place, but … I’m still processing what today was like, and probably will have more to say at some point, but first the important stuff: She’s doing really well….
Week Ahead
So tomorrow is a big day. It’s the BIG ULTRASOUND DAY. I feel like this is something akin to Christmas Day, the sort of thing that gets weeks and weeks of build up and then it’s here, we clean up the wrapping paper and discarded items and go about our day. All that said? I’m…
Pass the Tissues
Oh, you guys, the crying. Something to know about me: I am not a crier. And I don’t mean that in that way that people say they don’t cry and then something happens and then, yeah, they cry. I don’t cry when I fight with my husband. Or my family. I don’t cry when I’m…
Choices
Recently I attended a reading event here in town, and while normally I love these things, I left this event fuming. I am surprised smoke was not coming out of my ears. At one point in the evening, a charming, obviously pregnant woman stood up to share a story of her own. We’d already heard…
What I Wore Yesterday, Today, and Mostly Likely Will Until This Time Next Year
I’ve given up the fight for now. In the past two weeks, I’ve purchased about 10 shirts, a couple of cardigans, two pairs of jeans, leggings and a pair of dress pants. If you run into me, you can be sure I will be wearing a combination of any three of these things: I’m done….
Finding the Buddha
I walked into my friend Danielle’s office the other day and she said, “You look pregnant today!” Our coworker, David, was already in her office, and he looked a bit dumb-founded as to what he should say. He has kids of his own, but I don’t know that that’s a given in these circumstances, that…
Just Say No
I am awake because I have awful leg pain waking me up. It’s not restless leg syndrome. Remember when you were a kid and experiencing “growing pains?” That’s what this feels like, only unlike last time I experienced this, I was able to suck it up because I was a kid and the trade-off is…
First Time Out
So this hasn’t been the easiest pregnancy. I had heard women go through some rough stuff during the first trimester, and I’ve always considered myself a fighter, so I wasn’t particularly concerned. Alas, I was woefully unprepared for any of it. I really was. While some might call me a control freak, I prefer the…
God Laughs Some More
We got some big news on Thursday. On Monday, we’d gone in for a CVS. It was yet another invasive, painful test involving my uterus, technology, needles and people telling me that in the face of the most excruciating pain my nether regions had ever experienced, I needed to stay absolutely still or it wouldn’t…
God Laughs
On a Saturday night at the end of June, Scott and I were sitting at home, watching a movie, and generally doing nothing at all. We’re in our mid-30s, we can do that without shame. It was on the heels of the plane incident, the moment where for the first time in more than a…

This stuff is amazing. Get it. Your dry, cracked skin will thank you.

This sits proudly on my desk. I love it so much.

I saved up and planned for these puppies. Some of the best money I've ever spent. I love these more than I can say.

I decided to try enhancement products when I was training for my second marathon this year. I chose these and love them.
