Baby Goog Watch – The Eviction Notice

Somewhere along the line the jelly bean became baby goog. Because let’s face it, we are well past the jellybean stage now. I’m currently 2 days overdue. Although I’m beginning to suspect that I just have a naturally long gestation period. Clearly I’ve won some kind of genetic lottery. Awesome. But given that Riley was [...]

Hormones, Baby Watch and Preschool

I don’t really have a clear idea for a post today. I know I should probably put some thoughts together about the conference but I’m still letting everything settle down. I’m waiting to see when this baby decides to arrive and so I’m in a sort of limbo at the moment. Not unpleasant. Just limbo. [...]

Jelly Bean Watch – Week 39

Checkup Details Blood Pressure: 100/50 Engaged: 1/5th Fundal Height: 36cm Fetal Heartbeat: Found by toddler so I’m guessing pretty strong Pronouncements: Baby considered ‘leggy’ Last week I was 2/5ths engaged – this week 1/5th. So my main message to unborn child is to stay put until after the weekend. AFTER. Just. Stay. In. I was [...]

Jellybean Watch – Final Countdown

4 weeks to go. In theory. That theory doesn’t take into account happy dwellers like Riley who opted to stay inside for an extra two weeks. But for the sake of argument and my sanity we’ll say I have four weeks to go. Four weeks until I can look accusingly at my belly and say [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 36

The beginning of week 36 begins tomorrow and I’ve got 5 weeks to go. 5 weeks if you take the highly arbitrary 40 weeks as something solid. Which it’s not. We discussed my birth plan last week at my check up. Which is your average run of the mill – induction as an absolute last [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 29

Look at that belly! That’s freaking huge. I’ve approached the whale stage of pregnancy. My weekly pregnancy alert has informed me that this stage is where my body goes into lard collection mode. I’m sure there was a better way to word that. And I’m equally sure that the wording of blubber attraction for the [...]

Jellybean Watch – Halfway!

At the end of last week I hit twenty weeks. Half way. It seems to have gone so fast. Although now I think it will slow right down. I’m starting to feel very, very pregnant. I waddle. I find it difficult to get up from a crouching position and am developing all manner of eww [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 18

I’ve been a little lazy with my jellybean posts. Ok, a little lazy is a little bit of an understatement. But I’m beginning to realise how different a second pregnancy is. First time around, I had the time to pour over all kind of books that told me exactly what the development was, how big [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 13

So I might have skipped over just a few of my updates. And apparently I’m the laziest pregnant woman on the planet. Or that’s what you’d think if you listen to the receptionist at the radiology clinic. I might have forgotten about getting my 8 week dating scan. But in my defense, my doctor never [...]

Jellybean Watch – Week 10

Well technically it’s week 10 for the next couple of hours anyway. Tonight while I was cuddling a poor, sick, and in desperate need of TLC toddler I felt a million little flutters going on, courtesy of the jellybean. So even though Riley doesn’t conceive of a baby at this stage (and probably won’t until [...]
