    As I stood in front of our bathroom mirror readying myself for a much needed shower, I realized that my ass had grown. Then I turned sideways and realized that my belly had doubled in size compared to what it was just three weeks ago. And my boobs? My boobs are ridiculously stupid looking. They…

    Tobyjoe’s coworker, Benjamin, has suggested that we name our baby a name he’s been trying to get someone to use for years. And for the life of me I cannot figure out why no one has snatched it up. I like what it says about a person but I do wonder if he or she…

    A new door opened for me this week; I’m finally starting to feel better. I still get a little green at night but it’s been nothing compared to what I experienced last month, which was brutal to say the least. I’m happy to report that aside from the daily bouts with heartburn I’m feeling pretty…

    I had a talk with the Little Dude yesterday morning. I said, “You have to perform well today! Do not let us down!” The Little Dude did not answer. Instead, L.D. gave me heartburn, which is really starting to suck. The heartburn is starting to conquer my appetite and the only thing I really enjoy…

    OK, Internet, this is easy. Are we having a boy or a girl? We find out on Monday (most likely) so now is your chance to play along. Why would you want to play along? Because I’m asking you nicely. Please play along? (And for all you freaking weirdo lurkers out there, use a fake…

    He laid his head on my belly this morning and said, “Hello little baby, do you have ears?” “I think that happens soon.” “I thought of the perfect name for the baby if it’s a boy.” “Oh yeah?” “Yeah. I can’t think of a better name.” “What is it?” “Ndugu.”

    I am not having a good time of this. I have felt awful for 24 hours straight. I have had a headache the entire time. My tummy is upset, just a constant state of not feeling well. If this is going to last for the next six months, I’m going to need some help not…

    I have a question for all those pregnant (or once pregnant) ladies out there. (Hell, even if you’re a guy and you know someone pregnant and can help out, feel free to.) Is it normal to experience fits of rage? Because that is what has been happening to me. If you need an example, I’ll…

    I found out I was pregnant on November 21st, 2006. It is my first pregnancy. And I am a worrywart. I worry about everything. If there isn’t something to worry about, I’ll create something. The day I found out I was pregnant I started reading stuff online. Of course, my worrying eyes wandered toward the…

    My evenings have been really bad lately. I don’t get morning sickness at all. I get evening sickness. And I’m feeling overweight and frumpy. So today I got Kellianne (perhaps the best artist/hairstylist there is) to give me a new haircut. Somehow, this woman always manages find my natural curls. I simply have to figure…
