26 Weeks* (And a Lady Bug Costume)
I may look a little different now, but I’m still my Hubster’s Lady Bug Girl. You can read the story about the Lady Bug Costume and how we met here. :) How Far Along: 26 Weeks* Size of Baby: Eggplant Weight Gain: 16.5 pounds Movement: I’m beginning to be able to discern what her movements are, and it’s such a cool/bizarre/amazing feeling. I can tell the difference from when she is turning from when she is kicking, and based of where she’s hitting with her feet I have a good idea of how she’s positioned inside me. She’s been a bit of a singing frog for the Hubster though–she’ll kick…

Have I Killed my Curls?
I’ve been thinking a lot about my hair lately. I realize that that probably makes me sound incredibly shallow, but I can’t help it. I always hit a point where my hair has been in a similarish style for several months and I start thinking about ways I can change it up to make it more exciting. I went to Btown last weekend to see my family while the Hubster went camping. Spart had a hair appointment on Saturday, and since we have the same stylist, I decided to go with her to see if I could get my bangs trimmed at the same time. As the stylist started working…

On Feeling Loved*
As I was sitting here thinking about what I wanted to write tonight, inspiration literally knocked on my door. I’ve mentioned in the past how much I adore living in Pretty City. When we decided to move here two and a half years ago, I did so with a great deal of trepidation. It was not where I wanted to be. Or so I thought. From almost the first day we moved here I have loved everything about this city. It’s beautiful, we have everything we’d ever need at our fingertips, and most importantly–the people are wonderful. In the past several months we’ve been reminded time and time again just…

25 Weeks*
How Far Along: 25 Weeks* Size of Baby: Rutabaga Weight Gain: 16 pounds Movement: Her movements have become more and more consistent and I love the way she dances in my belly. I find that she is much more active in the evenings, though she moves plenty if I sit in a way that restricts the space she has to dance and move. I like to think that it’s her way of being a bit sassy and telling me to get with the program and shift to a different position. Cravings: Nothing specific, but if you start talking about certain foods that I like I’ll need to eat them. Immediately.…

Surviving a Day of Substitute Teaching*
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about why I chose to become a teacher in Ontario. The truth is, in this current job market, it wasn’t a one-time choice. It’s a choice I continue to make every day. I choose to get up and wait each morning for a call to work, and on the days when the call doesn’t come, I choose to look at a day off as an opportunity or luxury that I wouldn’t otherwise have if I was working full-time. Really though, I know I’m pretty fortunate. The days that I do get calls far outnumber the days that I don’t. Sometimes I’m…
