I have reached a new tummy milestone: I can’t button my winter coat all the way. I can still reliably button the middle button, but the bottom button is beyond hope. I’m lucky the weather has been mild this week and I haven’t needed to bundle up. Still, I think I’m going to have […]

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 […]

Power of suggestion seems to have a serious influence on my cravings. After reading the description of panko-crusted fluke on WaiterRant, I really wanted some

Today was Cantati’s first concert of the spring season. I really struggled in our fall performances with overheating and nearly fainting. I was supposed to sing three Christmas shows and didn’t finish a single one. But tonight I sang a whole show without incident! (The title of this post comes from our opening […]

It feels like we’ve finally got the ball rolling in preparation for the baby. We decided not to tackle everything at once, though. There are WAY too many choices to […]

People ask if I have had any interesting cravings, so I thought I’d start a feature on that.
Today: cheese. Muenster cheese, specifically. But I was stuck at work with no cheese in sight. I checked the ingredients on my Easy Mac macaroni and cheese. That was a mistake. It has some cheese-related ingredients, sort of. […]

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 […]
