He’s a boy! Miles was born at 2:56 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22. He weighed 7 lb., 1 oz. and was 19.25 inches long. And of course G. and I think he’s just the cutest baby ever.
So I was expecting Miles’ birth to take a couple of days, because of what the doctors [...]

I’m being induced Monday night. Holy crap.
For some reason I was thinking it would be later in the week, since I know they like to make sure you’re at least 39 weeks, which I will be on Tuesday. I guess I thought they’d want to add a few days on for safety.
While I was at [...]

So I found out last Thursday that I will be induced next week, after all. The doctor I had talked to before who told me no didn’t really know my whole medical history and, not that this is a bad thing, she used to be a midwife and tends to take a more natural approach [...]

I still can’t believe I’ve made it this far. I had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and hadn’t seen this particular doctor since week 7, when she told me we could be cautiously optomistic about this pregnancy. I don’t know if she remembered me or if she just actually bothers to read charts before she [...]

Holy crap, I can’t believe I’ve let 5 weeks go by without a posting. Shame on me. Though I did have good reason: we bought a house! We signed for it the beginning of May and then spent the entire month cleaning, painting (VOC-free paint, of course), packing, sorting and hauling. It was so exhausting. [...]

Today’s ultrasound was so much fun! The tech said that everything looked great, and I’m so relieved. Even though my triple-screen test came back fine, I was still a little worried that something would show up, but it was all good.
The baby wouldn’t turn over for the 4D part, so we’ll go back in 10 [...]

Last Tuesday was the 2-year anniversary of my very first due date. Isn’t that weird? I can’t believe that if everything had gone well with my first pregnancy I would have a two-year-old running around. Just crazy.
Instead, I’m now 18 weeks with an extremely active little guy. He kicks randomly throughout the day, sometimes over [...]

So yesterday I swear I felt the baby move. It was this weird slow roll sensation, like the baby was maybe doing a somersault in there. Isn’t this too early to feel movement? I thought with first babies you didn’t feel much until closer to 20 weeks. I was telling a friend and she said [...]

I am feeling super relieved right now. Everything was wonderful at my appointment and the baby’s still measuring perfectly with a good heart rate. The only disappointment was that the printer attached to the ultrasound machine wasn’t working so I didn’t get a picture. I should’ve taken a picture of the screen with my camera.
Once [...]
