27 Weeks* (And a dash of horomones)
How Far Along: 27 Weeks* Size of Baby: Cauliflower Weight Gain: 16 pounds Movement: Annnnd cue pregnancy hormones! My little wee-bean usually moves all the time–she is constantly turning and stretching and I’ve become quite used to feeling her poke around in my belly. I went to have a massage on Friday, and after I left I noticed that I couldn’t feel her moving around as often. She continued staying quiet on Saturday, and by Sunday morning I was feeling a lot of anxiety about it. Everything I’ve read has told me that a change or decrease in your baby’s movements can mean that she is in distress, so of…

I am an Ontario Teacher*
If you want to get technical, I am an Ontario occasional teacher. What does that mean, you ask? To me, it means a few things: It means that when my alarm goes off at 6:08 every morning, I roll out of bed and into the shower to get ready. My phone stays beside me while I prepare for work, and by 7:15am I am dressed, my lunch is made, and my “teacher bag” is prepped and ready to go. And then I wait for a call. Often the call doesn’t come. By 8am I know I’m usually off for the morning, and by 12:30pm I’ve accepted that I’m off for…

Still Looking*
Every so often I look back on posts I’ve written and sort of “relive” those moments in my life. The other day I was browsing back on where I was last spring, and I can still feel the stress of everything that was going on between March and May. Teacher’s college courses, new house, moving, work, the play, etc. I was desperate to find some balance in my life. Then the summer happened. I had such good intentions and such big plans to accomplish a billion things with all the free time I knew I’d have. And then… I just couldn’t do it. Part of it was due to he…

Fire Alarm*
The Hubster and I have had a busy week, so last night we tried to go to bed early. We were in bed by 10pm, and after watching/falling asleep to an episode of Seinfeld, we decided it was time to turn in. I’m pretty sure I was out cold before he even turned out the light. At 12:45am I woke up suddenly to a loud, consistent beeping which I immediately recognized as our smoke detector. I cried out to the Hubster who was still a bit groggy and we both seriously jumped out of bed. You need to understand that having a fire in our home is one of my biggest…

I Finally Read Harry Potter*
Due to baby-induced nausea, I spent much of July trying to be as immobile as possible. So, I decided it was a good time to tackle a project I have long debated undertaking: reading Harry Potter. And I did. All seven. …in three weeks. Everyone I know is a Harry Potter fanatic. Not in a bad sense, but they all seem to be crazy about the books. I have lonnnnnng been encouraged to read them, but they just never appealed to me. When I gave that response in regards to Harry Potter and why I hadn’t read them, the inevitable question follows: “So, what do you like to read then?”…
