Ok, the updated list is here… Comment, please! GIRL NAMES Anabelle Claire Becwar (Grace-Favour/Clear-Bright) Both names are pretty common – but I like them a lot, so they stay… Claire is the name of a great friend of mine here in Fairbanks. Liesel Marie Becwar (My God is a vow/Bitter) Liesel isn’t common at all, Marie was popular in 1900 Liesel […]
So, I have a wonderful sister-in-law here in Alaska who is up for any girly stuff as long as it doesn’t have anything to do with babies. She jokes that she’s missing that mommy chromosome. Lucky for her, her husband doesn’t really need to have kids either, so they make a good fit. My little […]
Ok, if you don’t want details, skip this one… Early early on, even in the first pregnancy, I had symptoms. I was tender up front, my tummy wouldn’t stop rolling, I got a little gassier than normal… This week though, takes the cake. I still have drainage from the flu that had rattled me the […]
So, I mentioned in an earlier post today that someone had cooked eggs and bacon this morning, but none for me and that started a hunger I had a hard time dealing with. I got a bowl full of carrots and have been munching them all day, which worked amazingly well. Then I got a […]
I’ve found at least one way so far to stay a little distracted from the pregnancy side-effects… trying to choose baby names. GIRL NAMES Anabelle Claire Becwar(Grace-Favour/Clear-Bright) Liesel Marie Becwar(My God is a vow/Bitter) Klara Adalene Becwar(Clear-Bright/Noble One) Brigitta Isabelle Becwar(The Exhalted One/My God is a Vow) Mirabelle Ilianna Becwar(Lovely/The Lord has Responded) Nicolette Becwar(Victory […]
So… last summer (2006), my parents finally came to visit me here in Fairbanks Alaska. On the day before they left, I took a pregnancy test – 3 actually – probably more because I’ve wanted kids my whole life than because I had symptoms, but who cares why – I took the tests. They came […]
On March 19th, I was in a panic. I’d had the flu for almost a week, with horrible night sweats, fevers off and on and horrible coughing. The worst thing about it was that my pregnancy symptoms had disappeared. Our OB agreed to meet with me if for nothing more than my mental health (her […]
On March 22, I went in to the hospital to determine if my flu was simply kicking my rump or if my pregnancy-loss was causing health problems. (My insurance didn’t want a potential emergency like me going to a regular clinic…) The doctor assured me I wasn’t “septic” (what a word) and that I just […]
The hubby and I have been trying to get our ducks in a row this year. We started off right… we paid off our debts & started saving for a down payment for a house. I started packing everything, thinking the home-buying process would be instantaneous or something – ha ha ha. We even almost […]
