I almost never share (or take!) belly shots, but I did take one at 20w and then couldn't upload from my phone. Since I now can (yay!!), I'm uploading it along with today, 27w5d, in the same outfit. ...And now that I see them side by...

I'll be 28 weeks Monday. As of Sunday, I'm a week into the last three calendar months (due Aug 5th). My last three all came around 39 weeks, so I've had that in mind all along. We'll see, though. This has definitely been a different...

The Via is great! Pretty sure that's the SkipHop I have. It's packed, now, so hopefully I can find it and decide what bag to use. I've been using a bag a friend made me (Saffron Bags on etsy) just as a purse now, but it needs to be...

Some names come from words or phrases in other languages, so the "meaning" is more of a translation than anything. For instance, two of my children have Hebrew names with the syllable "El," which is one word for God. One translates or...

Yeah, I realized a few days ago that I had 3 months till EDD. That feels SO CLOSE, I guess largely because the last 3 have gone by pretty quickly. This is when I start thinking about what actually needs to get done and purchased, etc....

In earlier pregnancies, I definitely noticed an increase in BH with RRL tea. I don't like tea, in general, though, so I haven't done much with it the last pregnancy or two. I am thinking I should do one of those with nettles and all...

Planning my fourth HBAC, most likely another water birth (last two were born in water, too). Calladonna, I've also been having sporadic crampy BH. A couple of times they've been more regular but I knew I was dehydrated and hydrating...

Yep, the A1C or hemoglobin A1C is what I had done. It's far more informative as it looks at your body's processing over a span of time, so with your normal diet.
