Dunno What to Say…
Today I feel better than each day before. I am still gagging on drainage from that killer flu before (though I’m told I’ll probably not kick it because congestions is a common pregnancy thing…) and needing to pee about 4 times a night. However, I’m much less bloated, less gas pain, more energy, and less […]
1st Trimester Confusion
So last night and this morning I was worrying a bit because my symptoms seemed to have dissappeared. No nausea, no upset tummy, some gas (but after all the pizza I ate last night that made perfect sense), even my top is more content. So… I woke up and started researching when symptoms go away. […]
Happy Easter!
HappyEaster I had a wonderful Easter. My family always has an Easter brunch at my parents’ house. The whole family gathers together, has a wonderful breakfast and then hangs out for a good part of the day. I always preferred Christmas Brunch to Easter because there was a guaranteed huge pot of Creamed Chip Beef […]
8 Weeks Today!
James cooked a wonderful breakfast for us this morning. He made fresh pan fried potatoes, onions, ham, basil, garlic and cheese. I used the George Forman and fried up a pack of bacon. I also made some waffles and easy over eggs. We had a feast. Following the feast, I crashed. I got extremely tired […]
Cravings & Comfort Food – Chapter 2
Now that my stomach is finally calmer and my mood has improved, though who can be sure how long for either, I can update. When you are pregnant, your digestive system slows down tremendously and your blood pressure drops which leads to constipation, bloating, gas cramps, dizziness and fatigue. It’s amazing – and annoying. Yesterday, […]
The First Prenatal Visit
I had my first prenatal appointment this morning. James came with me and thank goodness. I think all of the good news, bad news, good news, bad news, good news has worn on me. I was looking forward to this appointment until this morning. Then the fear kicked in. Luckily, James was just in time […]
Baby Names – Updated
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 […]
Shopping Fun
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 […]
Morning Sickness?
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 […]
