On Sunday, Reed turned one month old. Looking back on this crazy month, I’m blown away by how far we’ve all come. Early on, Reed had a lot of problems with painful gas that left him screaming most of the day and night. Adam and I were scared for him because he was only sleeping [...]
This is the first time I’ve been on my computer for more than 5 minutes since Reed was born. I use my iPhone sometimes while nursing, but it’s rather difficult to write a blog post on one of those. After a marathon (1 1/2 hour!!!) feeding session, Reed is sleeping and I feel like I [...]
I’m happy to announce the arrival of baby Reed at 6:32am today! He was a healthy 6lbs 13oz, and 19″ long.
Mom and baby are doing great, they are both conked out right now after a long, long night.
looked like the boston cream pie worked a treat… off to the hospital!
According to my mother, I was born 9 days late, which is exactly how late little Reed is today. At this point, I’m having contractions 24 hours a day, some extremely painful and lengthy, others more mild. Often, they develop a pattern — coming every 10 or 7 minutes — and just when we think [...]

So, today is my due date, or at least that’s what I’m told. The fact is, my uterus isn’t exactly equipped with a calendar, and even if it was, I’m guessing that Reed can’t read yet (though Adam was reading at 3, so nothing would surprise me with his genius genes in this munchkin). Given [...]
I’m happily over the stomach bug from hell, but am definitely at the point in this pregnancy where I’m pretty much uncomfortable all the time. It’s become hard to do most of the things I’d taken for granted in the past, like picking stuff up off the floor, eating a full meal, walking without pain, [...]

For the past three days, I’ve barely gotten out of bed. I’ve had either the worst stomach virus or the worst case of food poisoning I’ve had in my entire life. Late Saturday night I actually ended up in the ER because I couldn’t keep fluids down, my pulse was racing and I was worried [...]
I can’t believe we’re less then 8 weeks away from my due date. It’s CRAZY! I was so ahead of the game in terms of baby preparations at one point, but have definitely fallen behind since getting into the third trimester. I knew I’d need to slow down by this point, but I’m shocked by [...]
