This tiny baby doesn’t feel so tiny anymore. He feels ginormous! Well, at least my uterus feels that big. The only time I don’t feel huge is when I am in the water. I’ve caught myself several times actually using my hands to prop up my belly, trying to relieve some of the weight. It’s more »

Weight Gain During Pregnancy
“Please step in the scale.” The aforementioned words terrify me. God, I actually can’t wait to not hear those words once month/twice a month/and soon to be once a week. For when I do hear them, fear rushes through me as if I were back at Weight Watchers meetings. Those WW receptionists, oh those WW more »

Third Trimester: Pregnancy Insomnia
I roll off my couch rather than gracefully stand up. The Final Countdown is now my theme song. And I’m having an extremely tough time sleeping each night.

Importance Of Staying Social During Pregnancy
Between acid reflux, my new friend Braxton Hicks (a real one sided relationship if you ask me), not fitting in 99% of my wardrobe, and doctors appointments that appear from nowhere like the genie in Alladdin, being a social human being during my third trimester is difficult.

Why You Shouldn't Ask Someone If They Are Pregnant
