This is it! She could come any day. It doesn’t feel real. I’m at that crossroads of wanting her to come because i’m so uncomfortable and hoping she sticks to her due date (Aug 1) to buy me a few more days to scramble. I’m particularly peachy at this point of my pregnancy with Tim […]

Final Countdown Prep & Some Money Saving Sites
By mariapelletier on July 5, 2017We only have a few weeks left until Baby’s arrival! I’ve had a little more bursts of energy and try to take advantage when I do. Tim still hasn’t helped with the nursery. It’s driving my crazy. I’m hoping this week he starts assembling some things. We still need to order the chair glider but […]
When I started looking for new suits for the summer & our babymoon I was surprised how hard it is to find cute maternity suits. For once, I didn’t have to worry about how my stomach looked in a bikini and I wanted to take advantage, but I also still wanted a good amount of […]
24 Week Glucose Test & Baby Classes
By mariapelletier on April 14, 2017Today I had to take the Glucose test that checks for gestational diabetes. I should have the results by end of day tomorrow. I’ve heard a lot of pregnant women complain about the drink. The taste didn’t really bother me. However, five minutes into drinking the the glucose drink I got a massive migraine. You aren’t […]
Life Lately – 24 Weeks
By mariapelletier on April 10, 2017I’m writing this on a Sunday afternoon while enjoying a snack and taking a break from all my housework. My energy has really picked up, I can go about 2 hours and then I need to rest, but then I can do another 2 hours. Before, standing in the shower for 5 minutes completely wiped […]
I can’t believe we are already 6 months pregnant! It’s starting to fly by now. I’m relieved to announce i’m finally feeling better – more energy and less nausea. I haven’t thrown up in at least 2 weeks! I still have food aversions (anything in the junk food category) and she really seems to be […]
Last week at my acupuncturist appointment she recommended I start a Paleo diet- cutting gluten and dairy out of my diet specifically, to see if that will help manage my headaches. In the morning, I generally wake up feeling good, it’s once i’ve had breakfast the headaches start, and then after lunch my body completely […]
These past two weeks have been some of the hardest in my pregnancy. I had to get IV fluids last week and then this Monday I got the worst migraine i’ve ever experienced (unmedicated, I’ve been getting almost daily migraines since the 5th grade so that’s saying something). My headaches have been getting better with […]
I can’t believe we are already at the half-way point and i’m 5 months along!! It’s actually flown by. Today we will have our 20 week anatomy scan and find out Baby P’s gender! Most people think it’s a girl because of how sick i’ve been. We are planning to do a gender reveal photo […]
Today I had my 16 week check up and second trimester blood test (for any abnormalities). I didn’t get an ultrasound this time but I did get to hear the heartbeat and we could also hear some punches and kicks 🙂 This little one is super active! I’ve already been feeling the “butterflies” of baby moving […]
