Hiccups
Filed Under Pregnancy Belly!, Pregnancy Boobs, Pregnancy Doesn't Suck, The Retail Side | Leave a Comment
The baby’s hiccups have decreased from 3-4 times per day to once a day, if even that. It’s a nice break. I notice he gets them shortly after I eat something sugary.
He’s SO big in my belly now, and when I sit crosslegged, it feels like he’s actually sitting in my lap. So much […]

This weekend Clive and I took a four-day vacation to Northern-ish Ontario. He caught fish. I didn’t. Instead, I took off my shirt and posed for some 32-week portraits.

The Second Baby Shower and a Status Update
Filed Under Pregnancy Doesn't Suck, Status Updates, The Father, The Mother, The Retail Side | 3 Comments
We had our second baby shower on Saturday. Lots of people showed up, most of them bearing small gifts (we love small gifts!), including a few toys, hooded towels and lots of clothes. We played no games, thankfully, and it had more of a backyard barbeque feeling than a baby shower- which is exactly […]

Baby Shower #1
Filed Under Pregnancy Doesn't Suck, The Father, The Mother, The Retail Side | Leave a Comment
We had our first baby shower yesterday. It went very well. Clive’s sister knows how to throw a great party. She’s our favorite person to give presents to because she’s so easily excitable, and says all the right things and is very appreciative of everything anyone does for her. I think I’ll miss […]

He has Clive’s nose, but my mom says he looks like me as a newborn

The ultrasound was so cool. He wouldn’t stop touching his face and he was completely folded in half for the entire time, so it made it hard to get a good look at his face. At one point he had his toes on the top of his forehead. No matter how much sugar I injested […]

Today’s the big day: our 4D Ultrasound. In a mere five hours, Clive will pick me up from work and we’ll drive to a nearby city for our hour-long appointment. Words cannot describe how excited I am to see our son’s face. And his toes. And fingers. And everything about him. We’ll also […]

Am I pregnant or just 17lbs heavier and suffering from a bad case of gas?

Clive confessed last night that he’s still waiting for the movies and television shows depicting crazy pregnant woman to ring true. He feels a little lied to by the media, who prefers stories of husbands who have to run out for deep fried pickles at 2:30am OR ELSE. Midnight jaunts for ice cream. Picture […]

Pregnancy Portraiture

Clive and I ventured out of the city yesterday in search of a good place to go fishing. We didn’t end up at the lake we wanted to, but we had a great time exploring anyway. If I had to live in London again (god forbid), I’d definitely want to live 10 minutes […]

The one thrown by Clive’s sister is mainly […]

A Photo Journey: 0-23 Weeks

Sometimes I look back at my pregnancy pictures from a few months ago and think, “You’re FUCKING crazy if you thought that belly was big.” And I know that in a couple of more months, I’m going to think I’m FUCKING crazy for thinking my belly is big right now. I can still […]
