The nice thing about Kit being a girl is that a lot of her little friends out here are also girls, so we’ve been getting quite a few hand-me-downs. And since the wee ones grow so fast, I suspect a lot of the clothes were only worn a couple of times! In particular, we have …
***WARNING*** This post is about breastfeeding & boobs. Jim, stop reading now. Seriously. You don’t want to know. You freaked out when I posted a photo of a chair and referred to it as my “milking station.” Although, I’m not going to post photos. I don’t like photos of me fully clothed, let alone less …
Well folks, today is the big day – Kit’s due to be born today! Err… Oh yeah, she decided to make her appearance 15 days early… Life with Kit has been going well. The #1 question we are asked is about her sleeping (and how we’re sleeping). She usually has at least one 3-4 hour …
Kit is now 8 days old, and it seems like time is flying by! Or at least, I’m having difficulty remembering what day it is, although some of that is due to erratic sleep patterns. In general, we feel like life is rolling along with just a few bumps in the road. We all had …
So the OB drama happened… then I peed myself… then we had a boring week… On Saturday, Steve and I spent the majority of the day putting together 9 different meals to have prepped & ready to heat in the freezer. And by Steve and I, I mean mostly Steve – he is our chef …
Before I get to the labor and delivery part of Kit’s birth story, we really need to back up and tell you about some events that happened before we got to that point. So let’s jump back to 32 weeks…specifically May 9th. After the somewhat overwhelming discussion at my 32 week checkup, I pounded out …
Thanks to Auntie Kristina for putting this together!
Well folks, we are officially out of “preemie” territory at 37 weeks! No one will be stopping Kit from exiting my body at this point. Halle-freaking-lujah! We had an appointment with my OB on Monday morning, and she checked to see if I was dilated… and I’m somewhere between 2-3cm, which is an improvement over …
Steve & crew survived their hike in Sequoia over the weekend. Meanwhile, I enjoyed a quiet weekend at home, and did a ton of laundry. This morning, I got up super early to take a couple of people to the airport. However, as soon as I righted myself out of bed, I could feel liquid …
The video from last Friday’s ultrasound is pretty uninteresting, except for the fact that the doctor was measuring Kit at around 6 pounds, with most of the measurements clocking in somewhere around the 36 week mark (at 34 weeks gestation). So what does all that mean? Kit is cooking up nicely (and if the trend …
