It is amazing how much contradictory information is taken as the gospel truth. I’ve written about this before regarding foods and caffeine consumption. I’m learning that pregnancy brings with it a whole new level of what I call Contradictory Information Syndrome. Let’s start with tuna. I really like tuna. But I must clarify that and …
I haven’t written a personal life type post in a while so I decided today was the day. I suppose the first thing everyone wants to know is about the baby and pregnancy. I started my thirteenth week on Tuesday and I think (knocks loudly and heartily on wood) my morning sickness may be going …
Today is Sallie’s birthday and it’s time for my annual tribute to her. I guess we can call it the annual tribute since this is the second Sallie birthday since Two Talent Living was launched. 🙂 Sallie is a very sensitive person, both physically and spiritually. I’m not surprised that morning sickness and such has …
Last evening, David and I started watching a National Geographic special that Amy, an also-pregnant-friend, shared with us on DVD. Called In the Womb, it shows the amazing development of a baby girl from fertilization through birth through the use of all kinds of special internal cameras. We watched through the twelve week development (which …
And it is… Shopping for maternity clothes. For me so far, this is hands-down the worst part of being pregnant. Morning sickness will end (I’ve been told), but the third trimester may be one long lounge in my nightgown and bathrobe. I’ve started looking around the stores and online the past week or so. Can …
Thanks to my first trimester energy drain, I am so far behind on my blog reading it is actually becoming quite embarrassing! I just found out tonight that I won an award back in February and didn’t even know it! And not only did I win a Jeana Likes Me Blog Award, it was the …
Yesterday I had my 10 week appointment and did not have an ultrasound. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 Apparently there was a misunderstanding. David and I understood the doctor to say that we would have another ultrasound at the next appointment and …
I know it is early to be thinking about this, but I can’t help it! We won’t register yet for a few months, but I want to know. What do I need for this baby? All of you experienced ladies out there, please tell me. What should I register for? What don’t I need? What …
“Damn tedious waste of an evening…” Mr. Hurst, Pride and Prejudice (A&E) David and I did not see the newest Pride and Prejudice when it came out in the theater last fall. I was not terribly impressed by the trailers I saw and am not inclined to go to the theater and drop $20 for …
Amy of Amy’s Humble Musings recently posted “A bath for baby.” The post started with this: The answer to, “How do you do it all?” is simple. Nobody does it all. If you bake your own bread and mill your own wheat, then you probably don’t polish your silverware. If you polish your silverware, you …
My, how time flies when you’re pregnant! Actually, time was flying before I was pregnant, too, so I guess it is just life right now! Well, in some ways time has flown. Like how many days have passed since I’ve really done any serious blogging. On the other hand, when I think about wanting to …
Like most first-time moms-to-be, I’ve already been offered lots of advice and counsel. I actually welcome it because I appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences. I also welcome it because over the past several years I’ve learned not to listen to everyone who gives me advice. That might sound contradictory, but it isn’t. I truly …
