Pregnancy 34 Weeks

[September 9]

See how I’m holding up my belly in the pic above???  Well I feel like I need to do that all day long.  Hold it up that is.  It’s damn heavy!  31lbs total weight gain according to my lovely bathroom scale this morning:) Also, baby has dropped!  I’ve been carrying low (I did with Avi [...]

Pregnancy 33 Weeks

[September 2]

Hi guys, This week has been bonkers!  Between recovering from Irene craziness, spending time w a friend from out of town, a prenatal, and preparing for my sister’s wedding, I’m not sure how we made it to Friday.  Nonetheless, here’s a bit of an update: I had a prenatal massage with Nicolette Lattanzio this week [...]

Pregnancy 32 Weeks: That’s 8 Months People and I’ve Still got 8 Weeks To Go!

[August 28]

Check out how Hipsta I am at 8mo: Hi everyone. Sorry I didn’t post earlier, we’ve been in the midst of Irene craziness! We were evacuated from our building so spent most of yesterday taping windows and the such. We’re lucky to have a bunch of family close to come to, so we packed up [...]

Pregnancy 31 Weeks

[August 19]

I’m officially ready for this baby to get here! The damage she’s doing to my body is not only scary it’s getting painful.  Aches everywhere and then there are the more than occasional sharp pains.  Yay. On the upside, I’ve been sleeping like the dead (I think the daily exercise walks and light weights have [...]

Acupuncture with Benjamin Craig L.Ac.

[August 18]

Last week I had my second acupuncture appointment with Ben Craig for pregnancy ailments.  You can read about Ben and his training and background here, but what I’ll say is that he’s totally awesome, accommodating and smart, and entirely saving my back and superscary leg veins! I plan on seeing him regularly now that I’m [...]

Pregnancy 30 Weeks!

[August 12]

Sorry everyone for the silent pause this week.  It was certainly not as zen as that sounds.  I spent the majority of the week trying my best to keep my head on straight.  Too much running, mommying, working, all good things though.  I can’t help but feel though that as I intend on slowing down [...]

Pregnancy 29 Weeks

[August 5]

Last night this baby seriously kicked me so hard for so long I couldn’t sleep.  Richie may have thought I was being dramatic until I made him rub my belly to try and calm this crazy baby and he was like: “Woah! I’ve never felt anything like that.  That must feel insane inside you!”.  Well [...]

Pregnancy Week 28

[July 29]

I’m in my third trimester!  I’m not positive if it’s good or bad news, but nonetheless, I’ve made it this far (though I’m not sure how much longer I’ll make it;)).  Third trimester means I’m in the home stretch, but it also means everything hurts a bit more, I’m way slower, and I have to [...]

Pregnancy Week 27

[July 22]

Sooooo…I passed my glucose challenge test.  No gestational diabetes for me.  I was actually worried for a moment.  No clue why though.  I rarely eat sugar, though carbs are my love.  Whole grain ones though, duh.  Anyhoo, I passed:) Oh and I hired a doula!  Love her.  Gillian Foreman of Uptown Birth. Oh and finally [...]

Face First

[July 18]

Sitting here, letting my mask sink in, drinking my red raspberry tea, loving the pumpkin pie smell I’m oozing off my face, I realized I haven’t posted on my skin care regimen recently. Now I know I’m far from a beauty blogger, but I’ve mentioned my pregnancy acne once or twice and it’s forced me [...]
