I am now getting into my twenty-fourth week, but had my regular ultrasound at twenty weeks. We were excited to go and hoping to find out what the baby is. We found out it is a girl! That is the part we're really excited about. But while the tech was checking measurements and getting certain shots, I noticed a look on her face that worried me. I left there feeling nervous and scared that we'd find out something was wrong. Sure enough, a week later I got the call from my GYN that they had... Read Full Story

So in typical fashion for my family, we had to go to the emergency room yesterday. Only this time it wasn't for me or Dare Devil, it was for my husband Bill. Lately he's had this immense pressure around his temple area and seeing as how he never had it before, he was getting nervous. It wasn't going away or getting better. If anything, it was becoming more severe. After seeing his family doctor yesterday morning, he received a nasal steroid (which still has not done a bit of good by the... Read Full Story

First, let me say thank you so much to everyone who has left comments and messages on my Zimbio account and on here. It seems that Murphy's Law has not yet left my life so getting on here to write has been next to impossible. Just to give you all a run-down of what's been going on, a few weeks ago, my husband and I had to take Dare Devil for blood work which was a nightmare. He started getting A LOT of nose bleeds including one episode that happened while he was sleeping. I went in to get... Read Full Story

As I had mentioned in another post entitled "Sarah Coventry", I am a style consultant for this in-home jewelry business. I am not new to the in-home sales industry. I worked as a representative for Partylite candles for over a year and while I loved their product (and still do), it became harder and harder not only to transport all of the items for shows but to keep up with the minimum sales amount each month. There were really slow months when I found myself ordering from myself just to... Read Full Story

Here is a definition of Murphy's Law from Wikipedia : "It is most often cited as "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" (or, alternately, "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way" I can honestly attest to this statement as how this past week played out for me and my family. The week started out with my husband trapping a squirrel in our roof. He didn't do it on purpose, in fact, he took a good look into the roof from the point of... Read Full Story

With my other two pregnancies, the only dreams I had that were out of the ordinary were ones about having the baby already. With both of my boys, I dreamt I was having girls. But ever since about a month and a half ago, I have been having the most disturbing yet realistic dreams. For a while, I was having dreams every night that someone was trying to kill me. In these dreams I was usually in my house or my parents and it was always someone different that came after me. I have never dreamt... Read Full Story

As most of my regular readers know, my son, Big Brother, played football for the past two years. I love watching him play because it's so obvious that he loves the sport and practically lives for it. As I type this, he is upstairs playing Madden 08 on his Xbox 360 because it's too cold and windy to play football outside. Everyday in my house consists of ESPN, discussions on who Big Brother thinks will win the next NFL game, and of course now it's all about the Superbowl, and usually me... Read Full Story

When you're pregnant, you go through so many different tests that you tend to lose track of what you've had done. The main ones I remember are the first blood workup, the sugar test for diabetes and of course the ultrasounds. Anything other than that is just a blur. My doctor gave me a prescription to get a first trimester screen done at my last visit. I just assumed it was like any other screen I had done, just earlier in the pregnancy than usual. But when I called to make the appointment I... Read Full Story

Over the past few months I have joined a large online community of bloggers. Here, we can write about anything our hearts desire. If something is bothering or confusing us, we can openly debate about it with other people. If we need advice or or reassurance, we can type it here for all to read and comment on. And if we are going through an exciting time in our lives, we can post our happiness much like screaming it from the top of a building. Along with well-wishers, and people who want... Read Full Story

I admit that feeling exhausted all of the time and throwing up all day everyday would make anyone a little testy. But I read that mood swings and feelings of irritation are normal during this time of pregnancy due to hormonal changes. It's nice to know that there is another reason why I feel like a raging bitch at times. I feel bad though because I just don't have the patience to field fifty questions from Big Brother or to chase Dare Devil through out the house all day long. Generally, I... Read Full Story
