I had promised myself, before this pregnancy, that when I got pregnant again, I would not complain, that I would remember how much I wanted to be pregnant, how much of a blessing this would be, and that I would deal with all of the aches, pains, problems and discomforts of pregnancy with grace and [...]

I tried out this chicken parmesan recipe today. I’ve been wanting to try making something new, since my tastes have significantly changed due to pregnancy hormones, and I no longer like most of the dishes I used to cook. I substituted the sauce portion of the recipe with a simple spaghetti sauce, and the chicken [...]

I am about 10 weeks along now. I’m still nervous that something will go wrong, but I hope for the best. Around 10 or 11 weeks, the embryonic stage ends, and the embryo officially becomes a fetus. I did not read much into this before, but now I’m intensely interested in the early development stages. [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
