Holy crap, has it been two months? Jeez. Life with Miles is fun, crazy, wonderful and exhausting. It’s amazing how much my life has changed. It’s so much fun watching him grow and develop and every day it seems like he does something new.
Yesterday he had his shots and he was so upset I felt [...]

Welcome baby Miles!
Posted in Baby stuff on September 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »
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 [...]
T minus 81 hours (and counting)

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 [...]
The countdown starts

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 [...]

Come up with [...]
Holy crap, 29 weeks?

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. [...]
19 week ultrasound
Posted in Baby stuff on May 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
18 weeks

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 [...]
15 weeks and movement? Already?
Posted in Baby stuff on April 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
