My husband and I were both nervous going to the doctor’s appointment yesterday. It would be our first ultrasound this pregnancy, and we hoped for good news. The thing that’s difficult about these visits is that we go to the same hospital where I delivered Liam. I had been down those halls many times, and [...]

I am in full pregnancy brain mode. I actually forgot Valentine’s day was February 14th. I was so preoccupied with February 13th, the day of my first ultrasound and OB appointment, that the day after had completely slipped my mind. Although, C and I both got each other Valentine’s Day gifts early this year, so [...]

Pregnancy is marked by weeks and weeks of a slow, anxious and sometimes agonizing wait. It is often said that pregnancy lasts 9 months. Aside from the shortest months, each month contains about 4 and half weeks. The weeks of pregnancy are counted from the first date of last menstrual period (LMP), and the expectation [...]

A good voice is incredibly attractive to me. I think it is the thing that first attracted me to my husband. I didn’t know what he looked like; he just had a “sexy” voice. It wasn’t particularly deep. It was just mesmerizing to me. A person’s voice conveys a lot about personality and demeanor. My [...]

Last night I had a dream about our son who was born without a heartbeat last year on January 19. He had most likely left us some time between January 17 and 18, or a year ago last night. It was not a sad dream. In the dream, I saw and felt glowing in the [...]

Last night, I got a positive home pregnancy test result. Today, I became paranoid about having a false positive, so I tested again, this time following the instructions exactly. Both times showed a faint second line. And, my period has not started. So I can cautiously say that I am most likely pregnant! :)

It’s still too early to tell for sure, but I have a feeling that I’m pregnant. Technically my period isn’t supposed to come until tomorrow. I started feeling cramps on Wednesday the 11th, which made me think I was getting my period early. But it still hasn’t come, and instead of the typical pre-menstrual symptoms, [...]

It was night, and my dream began at night. The sky above glowed dark, a round black sun in the center of the world. I fell through a tunnel, and emerged at the other end of the black hole into a bright golden sun, the same size and shape, a mirror universe. It was somewhat [...]

Yesterday, as we were filling a prescription at the pharmacy, my husband made the joke that with all the paperwork he had to sign, he felt like he was signing his life away. The pharmacist, a young fellow who couldn’t have been out of pharmacy school for very long, continued the joke, and said, “Yeah, [...]

Christmas always brings out the romantic in me. I enjoy the lights, the decorations, the general festive atmosphere. I like the thought of cuddling up next to someone special, the warm-colored lights illuminating us, holding hands together and watching the snowflakes drift down. This year, we’ve set up a big Christmas tree in our formal [...]
