Homemaking is hard work (can I get an amen?). I live in a small apartment, have only myself and hubby (and unborn child, Baby L) to look after, and tend to a little garden: I know that my life is about as simple as it gets. Once we had baby into the mix, it is only …

This pregnancy is really starting to feel real. Maybe it is the fact that my stomach is starting to feel larger, maybe it is because I passed the half-way mark (how did that happen?!), maybe it is because summer is just around the corner (and I equate summer with BABY). Whatever the reason, I am …
I am officially half way through my pregnancy! Wahoo! This baby is half baked. Only two more weeks until our first ultrasound, four more weeks until viability, and twenty weeks left to be pregnant. This has been a really good week. About half a week ago, I woke up one morning with tons of energy, …
Who knew that making body butter could be so easy? For the past six months, I’ve been on the lookout for a natural lotion or body butter. Hubby has perpetually dry skin (Polynesian skin + Nebraska weather doesn’t mix too well), and with my growing bump, I’ve been moisturizing like never before to try to avoid …
Spring is finally here! As I write this, baby is kicking away in my tummy, our patio door is propped open, and the birds are singing. Spring has finally sprung! I have craved all things spring: spring colored clothes, spring/summer foods (BLTs, watermelon, lemonade), and spring cleaning. I have had more energy in the last …
Guess who’s 18 weeks pregnant? This girl! This past week was packed with work, meal prep, and my third midwife appointment. Work has been good, albeit busy. I am definitely counting down the weeks until the semester is over, and I will be done teaching my college classes. I am ready for a bit more rest in …
This week, baby has let himself or herself become known, as he/she has been kicking up a storm throughout the day and evening. I first felt baby a week ago, and ever since then I have felt strong little baby kicks (or punches?) multiple times a day. This has been so fun, and has really …
I am now 16 Weeks Pregnant! This has been a big week in pregnant-land, because Hubs and I felt baby kick for the first time! I never expected Hubs to be able to feel baby so early, but we have been able to feel little kicks every evening this week. Things are definitely starting to …
It’s time for another bumpdate! I can’t believe I am nearing the half-way mark. I don’t feel pregnant enough, honestly. This pregnancy is simultaneously moving too slow AND too fast. When I start actually trying to picture baby, I get so excited, and am just ready to get through the next few months so I …
I am now officially in the second trimester! I am hoping they call it the “honeymoon phase” for a reason. I just got over a massive cold, and I am feeling more energetic than I have in weeks! I even did quite a lot of housework today, which is a huge win for this drained pregnant …
