This was a fun pregnancy week. After a few weeks of feeling baby’s flutters, this week brought actual kicking that even Jason is starting to feel. A complete stranger commented on my baby-bump for the first time this week. I was helping a lady find her way at work and she said “I see you’re expecting, that’s so exciting”.

As you may remember we built a screen to keep the leaves out of our pond this fall/winter. We were having problems with cats.

Jason has a great relationship with his dad and his little brother and I’m really looking forward to him being able to share that with a son. It was pretty obvious on the ultrasound that it… Read more →

This weekend was a stock-up of our freezer. Jason likes it when I have these sorts of weekends. Really for me, I prefer to cook 8 things all in one day and do all the dirty dishes at once instead of doing a little at a time more consistently. This way we have lunches stored up for weeks, and if… Read more →

In the time that has passed since our pregnancy announcement our pregnancy has actually started to get fun. My nausea and severe food aversions subsided between week 10 and 12 and I started to feel more human again. I had another ultrasound since we elected to do some of the prenatal genetic screening and was sent home with a whole… Read more →
