38 Weeks & New Pregnancy Symptoms*
Oh lovelies, it’s been a rough couple of days. I’m approximately 12 days away from my due date (if it’s correct–it’s been in dispute) and I’ve had a few new pregnancy symptoms crop up. On Monday I began my second week of maternity leave and went about my usual (albeit slowed down) routine. I did a bit of cleaning, had a rest with Ruby, and continued organizing what will be the new baby’s room. When the Hubster got home from work, he played with Ruby so I could throw dinner in the oven. As we sat down to eat, I noticed my peripheral vision seemed a little off and I…

My Little Ruby*
Well, I made it through another week! My little peanut is still safe and sound in my (large) belly, hiccuping and kicking away.

We normally have a good snuggle in the morning before work, but I always have to cut it short and close my eyes (and heart) to her sad face as I put her down and bundle her into her coat and boots. Her eyes were only sad for a minute as she loved daycare once she got there, but seeing that “Mummy, why?” in her eyes when I…

One Month Later*
Hi again. :) It has been a very busy few weeks, and I am thrilled to finally have a few minutes to sit down and write. Right now I am curled up on the couch in my cozy little house while a snow storm rages outside. And by “curled up” I obviously mean “sprawled out” since my very pregnant belly prevents me from curling up in any shape or fashion. haha It feels nice to relax a little and not have to worry about anything. Friday was my last day of work and I am officially on maternity leave. It was a long, busy final month of work, but as…
