38 Weeks Pregnant

May 4, 2011 in Mommy Musings

38 Weeks…and the countdown to delivery day has begun! Pregnancy is definitely feeling not so beautiful. I am swelling, outgrowing my maternity clothes, and generally just feeling huge.

33 Weeks Pregnant and a Poll !!

March 30, 2011 in Mommy Musings

Here we are at 33 Weeks… I noticed this week that I am officially waddling…my “gait” has a bit of a back and forth swing to it, and it is very awkward to try to walk with straight feet (my toes like to turn out a bit). This is certainly [...]
