My Early Labor Prego Scare

29 Jul

Tuesday morning, around 10 a.m, I started having really bad abdominal pains. It felt more like a stomach ache rather than cramps. There was no explanation; I didn’t do anything unusual. At about this time I started feeling guilty about everything… what if it was the deli meat I snuck at my baby shower, what [...]

Best Droid Apps for Moms

24 Jul

On a recent trip to Utah my Blackberry was fried by an unruly outlet. I’ve been a loyal “Crackberry”  user/abuser since I was a teen. I never thought another smartphone would outdo it’s capabilities, until the iPhone came on scene. However, my wireless provider is Verizon and I’m happy with their service and coverage, but [...]

Packin’ on the Pounds: 8 lbs in 3 Weeks

I was really looking forward to my doctor’s appointment today. I quit drinking soda approximately three weeks ago and I was sure he’d be singing my praises. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. I stepped onto the scale, that I thought was my friend, and the nurse kept scooting its bar to the right… further [...]

Countdown to the Baby-Shower Today I went to lunch with some very close friends that will not be able to make it to my upcoming baby-shower.

15 Jul

My third and final trimester has been the best thus far. I’m no longer getting sick and I’ve come to terms with my belly growing by leaps and bounds. I used to complain a lot to my hubby about everything, but there’s really no point because it just gets worse. For instance, I remember complaining [...]

Garden Update #3

5 Jul

It was almost a month ago that I began my garden endeavor and I had no idea how it would go. After all, things were just beginning to heat up in Vegas and I was, actually still am, clueless about gardening. I’m happy to report that every plant in my garden has survived. This alone [...]

"I Will Survive."- Saying Goodbye to Soda

1 Jul

Day One: Last night, my sister-in-law and I decided that we were going to kick our caffeine addictions to the curb. We’re lovers of all things carbonated. She prefers Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper, with its 23-bubbly-flavors, and I can’t get enough of Diet Coke with an icy-cold splash of Barq’s Root Beer on the [...]
