Last year, the gym next door to my workplace offered free memberships to those of us that work here.. unfortunately, I was prego with Little M and having a gym workout didn’t feel like it was something that I could do while I had a big ol’ belly.. This year, I asked if they still [...]

Little M and I ventured out of our apartment on our own today.. It wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. It wasn’t as hectic as I was expecting. I think because I thought the worst, I was pleasantly surprised when things came out a lot easier. We had a little doctors appointment today because [...]

No excuses, but it’s hard to have strict exercise schedule when caring for a newborn.. Sure she takes naps, but I tend to take naps with her.. or there are other errands I need to take care of when she’s napping that exercising takes a back seat.. I can’t really “diet” the way I want [...]

I had my follow-up appointment with my OB-GYN yesterday… I can’t believe it’s been six weeks or so since I’ve given birth.. nor can I believe how much Little M has changed in the past six weeks or so.. Thank God everything has healed well and I can resume life as I was pre-prego! That [...]

Yesterday we had our ultrasound.. For weeks I had been a bundle of emotions.. excitement.. anticipation.. nervousness.. I have this habit of expecting the worst in order to be pleasantly surprised when things turn out just fine.. It’s something I have done since I was young.. I don’t know why.. and it’s such a bad [...]

If you consider a pregnancy to be 40 weeks long.. you could say that tomorrow would be the start of my 20th week.. my “half-way” mark.. But most pregnancies are usually shorter than 40 weeks.. meaning I’ve pretty much hit my “half-way” mark.. We’re halfway there, little one! You’re growing big and strong every day.. [...]

Oh my goodness.. I honestly don’t know where my mind has been these past few days.. I’ve been losing my mind!! Here’s a few examples of the madness: Several times a day, while at work I’ll get up from my lab bench to get something.. I walk to where I’m supposed to be.. and I [...]

When I first found out I was pregnant, I was hoping to be one of those exceptions that didn’t get the morning sickness. My mother would often tell me that she never really experienced the nausea of morning sickness with her two pregnancies.. I, unfortunately, am not so lucky. Even when I’m not pregnant, one [...]
