Actually I’m only a day and a half from being ten weeks along, but this title was catchier. Plus maybe you decided to read this post because you thought it might be kinda sexy.
It won’t be. The first trimester continues to kick my ass. A shower is pretty much all I can accomplish in a [...]

The first trimester is kicking my ass. It was all excitement and aww, I’m queasy, that’s so cute until 6 weeks came along.
It came along, shaking me awake in the middle of the night. “What are you doing? Sleeping? Sleeping is for pussies! Let’s get up and puke!”
Since then, every single day has been like [...]

Pregnancy fatigue is no joke. I’m a little extra tired today because I missed my nap, but I wanted to get a quick post up.
I plan to be more organized, and do that thing all the pregnant blogging ladies do where I post pics of my belly and what stage of development the baby is [...]

I tried to get a better picture, but that’s the best I can do. I’ve already decided to start using pregnancy brain as an excuse for everything.
That’s one of three positive tests I’ve taken over the last two days, from different brands.
My chart had very clear patterns this month, and I’m pretty confident July 8 [...]

We’ve been grilling a few times a week this summer, and we’ve tried some new recipes. I have them all in a pile next to my laptop.
That pile is next to a pile of blog outlines. Even though there’s been no posting, there has been much writing and thinking about where this blog fits into [...]

If you follow me on twitter, you may have noticed in increase in the astrology talk lately. Astrology used to be one of many things I was interested in that somehow ended up getting abandoned along the way.
The way has been fairly long and tedious, and I seem to have lost many pieces of myself [...]

One of these mornings I’m going to get to rush out of the bathroom, positive pregnancy test in hand, and wake my husband up with some long-awaited good news.
It won’t be today.
I don’t know whose bright idea it was to make the symptoms of PMS the exact same as early pregnancy, but I would like [...]

The Goonies
I should apologize right now to anyone who isn’t a fan of The Goonies. Because that movie is going to be taking over my next few posts.
Actually, if you’re not a fan of The Goonies, you should apologize to me and then send me a letter listing all the reasons why I should still [...]

Almighty and eternal God,
those who take refuge in you will be glad
and forever will shout for joy.
Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties.
Protect them with the shield of your strength
and keep them safe from all evil and harm.
May the power of your love enable them to return home
in safety, that with all who love [...]

It’s been a busy few weeks around here. Busy, insightful, scary, but good.
Our first month of trying did not result in a pregnancy. Of course I’m a little disappointed even though I knew it was unlikely to happen this time, since the ovary that has this was up to bat.
I realized I’m a writer. And [...]
