Announcing Leo Quincy!

June 26, 2010

Leo turns two weeks old today and these last two weeks have been quite a roller coaster. The second induction went smoothly and within a few hours, I was in labor.  Thirty  hours after I started getting contractions, Leo was born, weighing in at 4510 grams (almost 9 lbs, 15 oz). He wasn’t breathing at [...]

Cross your fingers and press your thumbs

June 10, 2010

In case you don’t follow the blog on Facebook or Twitter, I was in the hospital last week for an induction but it didn’t work.  I’m still pregnant, still nauseous, and the weather has changed from gray and miserable to hot, damn hot. I go in for a second attempt first thing tomorrow, which the [...]

I watched one of those Baby Story shows the other day and I’ve come to a conclusion: I change my mind about this whole having a baby business. I’m going to have to take one of those birthing classes in the near future (no, I haven’t gotten around to signing up for one yet – [...]

"You’re not having a future movie star"

March 7, 2007

That’s the opinion of the ultrasound machine salesman. Today, my ob/gyn was testing a new ultrasound machine that the office is thinking about purchasing, so they called us in to have an extra look. Das Baby proved just as uncooperative this time as it had during the previous three ultrasounds. We had about a 30 [...]

Christina @ 19.5 weeks

March 2, 2007

Now that I’ve taken a belly picture, I guess I don’t look all that pregnant. My belly definitely does not look like any of the other “week nineteen” pregnant women who’ve posted their pics up at baby-gaga.com. And Jesus, what’s going on with my bum? That’s just obscene looking! (and no, I am not sticking [...]
