Five Months
Nora was five months yesterday. I can hardly believe that she’s almost a half year old! She’s doing new things every day (like sitting in a grocery cart for the first time) and is so gosh, darn amazing. Last week we were in California again and she chomped down on my finger not just with…

Childcare
I never imagined just how incredibly awful it is to find quality, affordable childcare for a newborn. Of course, I procrastinated on it, because I was secretly hoping Chris would find a job that would pay enough for me to stay home with her… When I finally realized that wasn’t going to happen, I figured…

Parade of Halloween Outfits
So, Nora got a lot of Halloween outfits (four), and the funny thing is they are all not quite small enough (she’s still swimming in 0-3 months and wearing newborn-sized). She wore them anyway and looked really cute in them all! Here’s three (she’s going to wear the last one tomorrow): P.S. We realized all…

Future Supermodel
Nora is one month old today! Grandpa Rik, my dad, came for a visit yesterday and we’re having a great time – and keeping very busy! Today, we ran all kinds of errands, including getting the Toyota washed, going to the grocery store, and to Home Depot for painting supplies (dad offered to help me…

Welcome Home
We’ve had Nora home for a week now and have been having a great time with her. She is very easy going (with the exception of the first time Chris and I tried to bathe her – it was too cold) and has been letting us sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night. She…

41 Weeks & 1 Day
Well, we had an interesting doctors appointment today. Chris picked me up from work at 1:00 and we headed, first, to Northern Dutchess for a sonogram and a peek at baby. Baby scored 8/8 on the biophysical profile and looks great. We could even see him or her practicing breathing the amniotic fluid in and…

The 10th Month
Still hanging in there and hanging out. I worked all week this week. It was slowing down a bit since the semester starts Monday, but still relatively busy (I had to finalize my goals for 2009-2010). It wasn’t bad, though, that baby decided to give me this week, because it let me do that and…

Due Date
Well, that’s it, I’m officially in the 10th month and 40th week of being pregnant – thank goodness I feel so great, because this baby has some serious procrastination genes (from both sides). I’m surprised we didn’t get more phone calls today – just one from my brother Brandon. And it was probably a pretty…

Belly Love
Last night, I posed for an amazing local photographer, Melissa Surprise, who is working on a project of expecting mommas doing yoga. It was tons of fun and her pictures are beautiful!!! Go visit her blog at http://surprisephotography.com/blog/?p=1497 to see the pictures (and my giant belly)! P.S. let me know if you think you’re interested…

Perfect Day
I had today off from work, and it was wonderful! I went to the doctor this morning, ran a few errands, hung out by the pool in the sunshine with Margarete for 3+ hours, came home and relaxed, then went to yoga. It was a great relaxing day! My doctor’s visit went well – I’m…
