08/14/2007

I’ve had some weird weird weird dreams during pregnancy that I thought I should start putting on my blog. A few of them, frankly, are way to violent to share here (I’ve NEVER had violent dreams in my life, but since I’ve been pregnant I’ve had a few that had me wake up gasping and Read More

Water Aerobics

07/31/2007

Since volleyball and surfing went out the window as exercise/athletic activities, I have been struggling to find something that works for me. I’ve already shared why yoga doesn’t work.

When I share this with people, their eyes usually widen and look at me like I’m some kind of idiot. But, it’s the truth, and I stand by it. I am going to share the three major things that have been really hard for me to get used to during pregnancy. It isn’t nausea – Read More

IT’S A BOY!

04/16/2007

The little cross-hairs in the middle mark the spot of his “goods.” Yes, we have a name. No, we aren’t going to tell you. And I’ve been doing great. My belly is visible now and I haven’t been as nauseous as before. I’m amazed at how happy this makes me. Sometimes I’m just grinning from Read More

Not a Prophet, Just Insane

07/12/2006

Well, to answer everyone’s burning question. The man was not a prophet. Josh and I were absolutely floored awhile ago when we found out we were pregnant.
