At around 1 am March 2nd Tuesday morning we had our baby. She was a girl we named Fiona Olivia and she weighed exactly 7 pounds. We are exstatic to say the least. She is healthy and beautiful.
I will be recouperating and I expect to not be able to update this blog [...]
This morning as I layed in bed, I thought I felt almost as if I were going to pee my pants. I got up and looked at the bed to make sure I had not broken my water yet. Nope, no dampness. But then when I went to use the bathroom, I heard and [...]

This week marks my 36th week of pregnancy. This is probaby the first week that I have felt uncomfortable, well aside from the 6 weeks of nausea during the first trimester but that was different.
Sunday night I was unable to sleep at all. I had a sore throat and a congested head. This was either [...]

This week marks my 35th week being pregnant. I have really started to notice that the baby is getting a lot bigger. I really feel like I am busting out. Up until last week I was quite comfortable. I can’t at all say that I am miserable and hopefully we won’t get there. It is [...]

As it had been over six months since I had installed windows on my HP 2133, it was time to wipe the drive and re install. Since my Ubuntu is set up to dual boot on this machine, that also meant I had to re install Ubuntu. The best way to wipe a drive is [...]

We focused on our wants because our needs like food, shelter and clothing were taken care of by our parents. At least that was the situation for those of us lucky enough to [...]

Atrophy
At some point during recent history it was decided that pregnant women were fragile, well at least in North America and other “industrialized” countries. This lead to women not exerting themselves the entire 9 -10 months of pregnancy. Then after all the atrophy labor began and kicked their asses. I imagine it is like not [...]
This last week marked 33 weeks pregnant for me. Sadly it also marked a frustrating week with my ISP who happens to be Comcast. Magically or suspiciously the internet would go down between 10 am and noon and come back up sometime after 5 pm every single day this last week. I suspected that in [...]

This week marks my 32nd week of pregnancy. Today I was paging through the notebook where I had taken notes about my symptoms and feelings during the first trimester. As I stared at my own handwriting, it sort of transported my back to that time period and I could have never imagined myself this far [...]

When we moved to Southern Florida about 5 months ago, we moved into a small one bedroom apartment. We had moved from a larger apartment and we did not get a garage with the new apartment. We did get rid of a lot of things before we moved. Which I do suggest because the more [...]
I am now in week 31 of being pregnant and that translates to “Oh Sh#$% that means only 9 weeks left, If I in fact make it the entire 40 weeks!” Next Monday I will enter the EIGHTH month of pregnancy. When I look at the numbers, I think I should be more anxious and [...]
