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 …
I secretly hoped for an “oops” baby. As soon as we got married, I was deep in the throes of baby fever. It definitely wasn’t the right time: we were both in college, hardly had a dollar to our name, and yet I just could not shake the desire to start our family. Hubby, too, …
Welcome to my very first BUMPDATE! I have been meaning to take pictures since I was four weeks along, but I just have never gotten around to it! Posting bump dates on Dandelion Pie every Tuesday will keep me accountable, and help track this pregnancy before it is over in a blink of an eye! …
Looking back, I laugh at my naïve self as she boldly walked into her first trimester. Poor sap, she had no idea. Two of my New Year’s Resolutions were: don’t eat out as much, and exercise every day. What ended up happening was that we ate out more in January than we ever have in our entire …
I woke up early one Saturday morning, sat in the morning light, and wondered if I was pregnant. To clarify, I have convinced myself I am pregnant multiple times in our first nine months of marriage. Not that we are trying, but simply because I enjoy maintaining the thought that at any given time I might …
On my wedding day, I walked up the aisle thinking about getting married, and then walked back down the aisle thinking about babies. Baby fever set in fast. I have always known I wanted to have a big family, and part of the reason I fell in love with husband is because he wants lots of …
