Raising Children to Weather the Storm
At this point of my pregnancy weekly visits are a must. As I mentioned in my last update, I thought my water broke at work. Thanks goodness it turned out to be a false alarm. But the doctor said that I did the right thing by going to the hospital. He also mentioned that this…
I was just a day away from being 37 weeks along in my pregnancy when I noticed something wasn’t right. With minutes to air, I went to the bathroom for a potty break. What I thought would be a usual trip to the restroom turned out to be quite the opposite. I couldn’t stop peeing!…
My baby is the size of a honeydew melon! With very little room to move around, he/she is now around five pounds. The doc says we’re right on track, as far as development goes. Even though there are no more flips and turns, this baby definitely loves to move around. According to my latest sonogram,…

I’m well into my third trimester and the end is near. My baby is the size of a jicama, which is a root vegetable. This little veggie is definitely starting to take up a lot more space in my tummy. I’ll probably gain about a pound a week between now and D-day, half of which…
My baby is about the size of four navel oranges. I wanted to get a little creative and do some juggling, but couldn’t handle more that one at a time. How I’m feeling: It’s been a very active week. In fact, it can be down right painful. I don’t remember this many kicks and somersaults…
