Because the other arm is busy holding my new little man! Yes, my beautiful bundle of joy has arrived. Packaged in a 7 pounds, 8 ... http://www.sandysweb.com/2012/01/02/326/ Almost one week ago I officially hit full-term. I was fully convinced that, because my daughter made her arrival shortly after hitting 37 weeks, this little guy would follow in her footsteps. Nope, that’s not the case at all. Tomorrow I’ll be 38 weeks and I am getting ... http://www.sandysweb.com/2011/10/20/waiting-game-2/ I’m officially two weeks away from being full term. My doctor even said so, thus making it law.

I'm still so in awe of ... http://www.sandysweb.com/2011/08/12/the-big-exhale/ For the past 13 weeks and one day I have been “cautiously optimistic”, tempered with a lot of fear. Though I got off easy with the first trimester symptoms (morning sickness, what’s that???) I think those around me would have traded in my crabbiness for my having a few ... http://www.sandysweb.com/2011/04/29/feeling-lucky/ Today I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I'm still holding my breath. A week from today is our next doctors appointment and we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time.

Waiting. Waiting.... wait, what's that... oh right, I'm still waiting!
