My boobs are HUGE!
I have 3rd trimester symptoms up the yazoo. Itchy skin, waddling, peeing at night, general uncomfortableness, visual disturbance, palpitations. The list goes on but I won’t. I haven’t had a decent night sleep in weeks and along with the all day sickness I am wondering if I am doing [...]

The DHL man tried to deliver my RED Birkenstocks today but I was in town so I missed him. He is coming back tomorrow (not so good & good news)
The statement of earnings came from my very old employer and I seriously over estimated the tax I had paid but such is life. (not [...]

I have to say that I am loving NaComLeavMo! I have found some really interesting blogs and for some reason a lot of the ones I have come across so far are in the middle of an IVF cycle at the moment (but not many who are waiting to cycle soon or are just [...]
I have been busy

We are finally *almost* ready to submit our audit form. What a process it has been to complete 4 sections on a 16 page document. The upside of it all is that for the first 14 weeks of 2005 I worked and paid tax as though I were going to work for the [...]
Middle Third

There is a road in Dublin called Middle Third. What a fantastically cool name for a road! Anyway, the point of Middle Third is that today I entered the 2nd trimester. I am 13w3d which is a complete mind blower.
Today is the start of NaComLeavMo. There are 214 names on the [...]
A blast from the past

Almost 10 years ago I spent 3 weeks in rural South Africa with a pen pal that I met as a result of an ad placed in a newspaper. It was the most peaceful 3 weeks of my life. I read, I learned about cricket, I saw elephants and lions and leopards and [...]

Online, but shopping none the less. I am shopping for maternity clothes and red leather Birkenstocks. Actually, I am buying them!
These are my Birkenstocks to be:
I am in love with them already.
We had horrendously long waits both for the midwife & the doctor today. The history was taken, blood was drawn, extra [...]
Are you nervous Lowie?

Today M asked me if I am nervous about tomorrows appointment and the honest answer is no. I hear the heartbeat daily and I can do nothing to keep it beating other than believe that it will continue to beat. Knowing daily that my baby is alive has allowed me to remain calm [...]
12 weeks

Today is my benchmark of miscarriage. The point at which this pregnancy is different to a discernible point in a previous, lost pregnancy. I am 12 weeks and as of this morning my baby’s heart is beating away inside its body, inside my body. It was so beautiful to hear it this [...]

Firstly I am surprised that no one had anything to say about my post from Saturday night. Maybe it was a little more cryptic than I think it is and I simply confused people.
I have been so tired for so long and nauseated thrown on top of the tiredness that I simply hadn’t had [...]
