I’m four months pregnant today and I feel disgusting. When I got pregnant I weighed 138lbs. Through the wonders of morning sickness, I lost three pounds before getting it under control with diclectin and gained back the three pounds. Last week I weighed 141lbs. This morning I weighed 144lbs, I think. As soon as I [...]

How your baby’s growing: At 4 1/2 inches long (head to bottom) and 3 1/2 ounces, your baby is about the size of an avocado. In the next three weeks, she’ll go through a tremendous growth spurt, though, doubling her weight and adding inches to her length. Her lower limbs are much more developed now. [...]

I seem to be growing a little more every day. A few weeks ago I spent $67 on two pairs of identical pants (one black, one green) and then $15 on getting them hemmed. I thought they’d last quite a long time, as they’ve got three snaps on the waist, and I pictured being able [...]

How your baby’s growing: At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He’s busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. [...]

So, not much has happened this week. I’ve been feeling normal (one really bad day of barfing, still going to sleep at 9 or 9:30pm). I’m still suffering from pregnancy rhinitus, which is more of a pain in the ass than anything. It’s especially annoying when I can’t breathe while I’m sleeping. I think it’s [...]

How your baby’s growing: Head to bottom, your baby’s 3 1/2 inches long — about the length of a lemon — and weighs about 1 1/2 ounces. Her body’s growing faster than her head, which now sits upon a more well-defined neck. By the end of this week, her arms will have lengthened and will [...]

As of this morning, I’ve gained three pounds during my entire first trimester. I think this is a healthy amount and I’m pleased. I can’t see myself gaining 50+ pounds like some people, mostly because I’m extremely fussy and don’t like fatty things like fried foods, ice cream, chips, cookies etc. I also don’t eat [...]

So, there it is. The first physical proof that my baby exists (outside of all of my meals thrown up). I don’t think I’ve mentioned the strong denial that I was in about this baby before. Yesterday morning, before heading off to the radiology department at St. Joseph’s hospital I was tempted to take a [...]
