  • I am now 29.5 weeks along (just about 10 weeks away from where I want to be to deliver) and I have noticed it getting harder to navigate my body around in, around, and out of bed.
    Wow, I cannot imagine what it will be like about 10 weeks from now. Maybe I will feel [...]

These doses make me groggy and stupid and I worry about subjecting (more of) the medicine to the little [...]

  • This morning, while observing at my reflection in the mirror, I told Billy that every time I look in the mirror my hair looks different. My part changes, and it ranges from flat, wavy, to curly.

  • Of the things I am looking forward to in motherhood, play time is one of them. I can’t wait to play Legos with my little one. I used to play with my brothers and marvel at the things they would make (they were more devoted to Lego craft than I was). When I saw this [...]

     
     

    enchanting doll, and, on dust mites May 17, 2008

    Filed under: healh, maternityshare — Tags: , , , , — Christine @ 11:52 pm —
  • I am taken with stuffed animals/dolls when they are handmade and they have a certain “wow factor”. I began thinking about making a doll for one of my projects in an art class I took in college. I sketched and out and visualized it in detail but it never made it out of my sketchbook.
    In [...]

     
     

    a change in perspective May 16, 2008

  • Today I moved into the living room. There I can see out the windows and I get a ton of natural light. It is a nice change. In the bedroom area it is a bit dark and there is no view out of the window from bed
    I was able to do bed rest in the [...]

    Stepping up to the challenge May 14, 2008

  • I have been putting off writing today and here are some of the reasons why:
    I have been feeling bit edgy, perhaps “stir crazy”. There is so much I want to do with my life, there are things that I have been wanting to do, and now that I have all this time on my hands [...]
