Okay, so I cheated a little
Isn’t there a saying that goes "Cheaters never profit"? or is it "prosper"? Anyway, I cheated. My sweet little George is colicky. Early on, I started eliminating different foods from my diet, starting with dairy. After I was down to hot dogs and bananas, he started improving. So glad to not be pacing at 2am.

It’s cold outside
and upstairs! Brrr! Our trusty heat pump, once again, has decided not to work. Even I was surprised just how cold 59degrees is when that is the temperature of your bedroom.

Remembering Labor
As D-day approaches, officially December 12, I find myself trying to recall past labors. Things like how much the baby moved at the end, what different sensations I had, etc. So, I thought I should mark down some of what I am experiencing this time. Just in case there is a next time. This little

Blog Catch-up Day
Today is officially "blog catch-up day". I have terribly neglectful of Remembering Today. Now I am trying to remember yesterday, as well as the last month! Not a good plan for this pregnant brain. This Fall has been slower than most. Only Sir Charles played baseball, and had a light schedule at that. For the

I Quit!
As I walked through the house the other day, mumbling to myself things like"Why are all the shoes out of the closet?""Can someone please let the dog in?""Whose cup is this on the floor?""And why is there an apple core on the breakfast bar?", I finally gave up and in frustration, as I closed the

Sorry, Honey…
For giving you a hard time about you having to travel. I guess I am getting soft in my old age. Last pregnancy, you spent weeks in Germany. Two pregnancies ago you spent two months in Iraq, and during baseball season at that! Six pregnancies ago, you spent six months out to sea, barely making
