You know, 41 weeks is not at all an abnormal gestational period. In fact, in France, 41 weeks is considered full term. I feel normal (though extremely uncomfortable!) and the baby is just fine. She apparently loves it in there. I have provided for her an ideal, optimal climate, where she is never cold, doesn’t […]

This morning I woke up just after 3am to pee, as usual, then lay in bed awake. I felt hungry, so I ate some walnuts. Lay down again. Couldn’t sleep. I turned to look at the clock. It was 4:45. I stared at the dark shapes in the room. I listened to Kona on her […]

I can’t believe October 12 is actually here. This morning at just after two a.m. I woke up and felt a dull but intense pain in my belly. Hmm, I thought. Hmmmmm. I rolled myself out of bed and stood, leaning on the mattress, feeling the pain continue. Brian was awake at this point and […]

Feeling so huge and also heavy today. Like there’s a bag of bricks rolling around in my pelvis. I took Kona for a walk and we went sooo. Sloooow. Poor pup probably hated it. I just felt pressure the whole time. Got home and poured a little glass of juice, immediately knocked it to the […]

Something that has occurred to us as we get closer to childbirth: there will be a new person living in our house. For years now it’s just been me and Brian, and our pets. When he goes off to do something, I’m alone. But very soon, there will be this third person. Yes, she’ll be […]

The boat was relatively on time today. Two minutes late is a good day. The sky was a high, cool curtain of white clouds — a nice break from what has seemed like five months of heatwaves. I sat in the top deck quiet room and listened to a podcast. It came time to disembark, […]

It has once again been too long since I posted and I don’t have a cohesive entry in mind so I will just string together a few random things. + Brian and I visited the SAM last week (we were on a date) and after enjoying the Wyeth exhibition, fell in love with this raven […]

I hate that I can’t run. So much so that I wonder if, as soon as my body has recovered from childbirth, I will start running for exercise, simply because I can. Of course by then it will be December. But that won’t deter me. I’ll leave baby with Brian for a half hour or […]

Top Four Questions I Am Asked by Random Strangers: 1. When are you due? 2. Boy or a girl? 3. Is it your first? 4. Do you have a name picked out? Usually in that order. Seriously, I have completed this survey dozens of times now. We need some new personal questions to ask pregnant […]

Finally started reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth today on the way home (I’ve had it for months now, wanted to wait to read it until we were getting close). So totally inspired, empowered, and calmed by the natural approach to the most natural thing in the world. I could gab much more about this […]
