I can’t think of a better title so read why I’m a chicken & not a feisty bad ass.

I have always considered myself to be among the “bitchy” sect of women {not like the awful bitches, but the good bitches, because they do exist} who have no problem telling it like it is, getting what they want, & rocking really cute heels all at the same time. Like Miranda with Carrie’s closet. But [...]

Motherhood is a choice you make everyday to not run away or crawl into a ball

Remember how last Monday I was all basking in the morning glow of motherhood. Waxing on about the chirping birds, morning caves, and all that other ra-ra-ra being a mom rocks stuff? But isn’t it just like the Universe of Motherhood to pull the rug from under you when you’re prancing along learning letter & [...]

6 Must Have Items to Survive Pregnancy

 Like all smart bloggers my mind is always ablaze with topics to write about. Sike. But sometimes it is, more times its not & I’m sure my blog shows it. But I just keep writing. When ideas do hit me I write them down in Catch Note on my Droid. Sometimes it’s just quick titles or paragraphs [...]

So there you have it folks. A woman girl {2 kids & husband & I still consider myself a girl} who doesn’t wear tennis shoes, doesn’t like to sweat, can’t change a tire, check oil & refuses to take out the trash is now going to be a mother to TWO boys. Oy vey! When [...]

Those are my breast

  Those are my breast. Sitting not so high above my pregnant belly. Resting in a sling that could be tighter, maybe should be bigger, & probably definitely cleaner.  My breast are enormous. Taking over my body like lice takes over your first graders head. Expanding to the sides & under my pits. Hiding the [...]

The Clamp Diet aka Preeclampsia Soup

For a special edition of baby bump pictures that is somewhat naughty check my Facebook page.  Edit: I also woke up this morning realizing that I’m not 19 weeks. I’m only 18…but who’s counting.  Excuse me if I reek of cabbage & kale onions & garlic. Yesterday was such a long day of grossness. The [...]

You lady have got the clamp

So I have preeclampsia. And I have a baby who’s measuring 2 weeks ahead. And I have a date with boiled vegetable soup all day today. So how’s your week been so far? Tuesday was my appointment with my midwife & each time I’ve gone I’ve had pretty high proteins in my urine. She warned [...]

Seeing Red

    When I was pregnant the first time obvs there was no paying attention to symptoms or aches or pains. It just was. The only time there was a scare was similar to the scare this time & we went to the hospital. If I can brutally honest here… I was hoping I was [...]

Pirate Booty

Pinterest has such awesome ideas don’t they? I’ve tried a few…mostly food related & one pin I filed under brilliant. Boiling orange peels with a dash of cinnamon to get a “heavenly” scent. Honestly after about 5-6 minutes it started to stink a bit & the pot is left looking less than appealing. I’m sure [...]
