Nearly There

Is it normal that I’m totally freaking out? Single-digit countdown is on… and I can hardly believe his imminent arrival is fast approaching. I go through stages of “I do NOT want to be a mother” straight into “oh my god, this is going to be fucking amazing.” I guess it’s like any huge […]

Almost at the End

I had a dream last night about my flat stomach. I wonder if I’ll be one of the lucky ones and have my belly come back looking like it used to. I’ve always been confident about my stomach- no matter how much my weight has fluctuated (which it has, a lot), my stomach has (almost) […]

When I should be focusing on things like preparing for birth, I’m not. Instead, I’m having a very hard time sleeping at night, concentrating during the day, and not being able to relax. Ever.
Had I known that moving to Nova Scotia would be so hard on me, I’m not sure I would have. […]

I’m calling a Chiropractor today to set up an appointment so I can have Webster’s Technique performed on me, because this baby won’t stay head down. He’s been head up (or sideways) for a week now, and he’s supposed to be head down and staying head down by now. I want to avoid a c-section […]

Nova Scotia!

We made it safe and sound to Nova Scotia after two full days (12 hours+ each day) of driving. We weren’t involved in any accidents, the cargo unit strapped to our car’s roof behaved as it should have, and we weren’t pulled over for speeding. We only got “lost” a couple of times, and were […]

On Having a Boy

I have no idea what to do with foreskin.
Because circumcision isn’t even close to an option for me (us), I’ve been thinking about the “reasoning” behind people who don’t have strong Jewish traditions still circumcising their newborns. “It’s cleaner” is the biggest one, with “We want he and his father to match” and […]

Three More Blessed Weeks

I have three weeks left of work. WOWOWOWOW!
Every Friday is marked by another week of pregnancy (29 weeks this week), and recently it feels as though someone is playing a cruel joke on me because, how can it POSSIBLY be Friday already when it feels so much like Tuesday?
Soon, I’m told, I will have […]
