Yep, the cravings have finally gotten weird. I can explain cheese, I can explain fish, but why was I having visions of McDonald’s french fries dipped in chocolate? Luckily, I had the chance to get out at lunch time. I ordered fries and a hot fudge sundae, which I used for dipping. I […]

It sure feels like I’ve gotten a lot bigger this month. I think the photos will bear that out. First, as promised, is a picture of me in a more form-fitting sweater. No one wonders if I’m pregnant anymore — they know! Mr. Guru and I also had a Chamber of Commerce gala to attend […]

I had my second ultrasound today. There was some question, based on the baby’s size, about when my due date would be. The last ultrasound predicted June 4th. Today’s did the same. I have a little theory about this. I was born two weeks “late” but average in size. I suspect this is a similar […]

We spent a big chunk of the weekend taking our official childbirth class. Instead of spreading it out over several evenings, our hospital does a marathon session: Friday night and all day Saturday. Hopefully that’s not an indication of how they think my labor will go!
Friday night I had to laugh, as Mr. Guru wore […]

I went in for my monthly checkup today. Everything checked out normal. They made me drink an orange soda-type drink so they can check for gestational diabetes. 12 ounces in 5 minutes! And I don’t usually drink whole cans of pop, so that was pushing it. We’ll get the results in a few days, but […]
