You are 6.5 months old, and just wanted to let you know that you now have 2 teeth!

Well, Mr. Man, you are proving to be stubborn.  Maybe you didn’t get the memo, but you are suppose to be BORN.   I’m still at home.  When I sit down the contractions taper off some, but when I stand up they come much faster and more intense.   We’re waiting it […]

35 Weeks Total Weight Gain– 32 pounds Cravings– Still no cravings really… Sleep-  Just like last update, sleep still sucks.   Apparently a symptom of pregnancy is insomnia, so sometimes I’ll randomly wake up in the middle of the night and be wide awake, and then not be able to go […]
