I was lucky enough to get a massage for my birthday, which I’m saving for when I’m a little more pregnant and need a good pregnancy massage. That being said, you no longer have to wait to go get a massage, you can get it right now…

Pregnancy Weight Gain and Cravings
Sunday, October 5th, 2008Many women gain a substantial amount of weight when they are pregnant, anywhere from 25-45 pounds. Doctors try to keep the pregnant woman within an acceptable weight gain that will support the pregnancy without all of the empty calories that will hold onto the mother for months to come. But what happens when [...]
EU Trying To Extend Maternity Leave
Friday, October 3rd, 2008In a benchmark move, the European Union has proposed to extend maternity leave to 18 weeks plus 100% sick leave! If passed, this would encompass 27 nations within the European Union.
This is amazing to me, as I had to claw and scratch for a month and a half, then had to take [...]
Trendy Maternity Clothes
Friday, October 3rd, 2008It’s always hard when you get pregnant, and that expanding body of yours just won’t fit in any of your normal clothes. Most maternity clothes look like monstrous mu mu’s that only drape your frame, they do nothing to actually show off that you have a baby in your belly. This pregnancy I’m [...]
I Could Have Fainted!
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008My mom says I never post about my pregnancy, so this one is for her:-) A few days ago I was sitting down and talking with some people, I’d been sitting and talking for about half an hour. Out of the blue I almost passed out, everything went weird, kinda like if you [...]
The Wonderful Side Effects of Pregnancy
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Aw, you picture the cute little baby snuggling in your arms, quietly cooing as you take in the fresh smell of baby powder.
But it never occurred to me before I got pregnant with my first child that anything would happen to me except for my expanding body and a few mood swings. [...]
Finally There’s Movement
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Friday night, 9/26 at around 9:40 pm, that’s what I’m calling the official first kick. I think (and I’m saying that because that kid kicks awfully light) that he/she kicked about 3 times. I’ve been waiting and waiting…so we’re calling it official at 18 weeks. What a different pregnancy, I must say. [...]
Why Pregnant Women Should Eat Protein
Saturday, September 27th, 2008I could be a vegetarian soooooo easily. I love beans and protein sources like that, but I’m just not fond of meat. Chicken, beef, they just gross me out to touch when raw and honestly I don’t like to eat either. So why is it important to eat protein during pregnancy and [...]
Headbanging Baby
Saturday, September 20th, 2008My wonderful husband and I have an anniversary coming up. So one gift we are giving to each other is tickets to a concert, which will prove to be louder than all get out. We got seats on the first level, not floor tickets (as I swear we are to old for that). [...]
The Story That Still Keeps Me Up At Night
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008I thought I’d share a story I’ve been reminiscing on lately, it’s the experience I had with my last employer when I was pregnant with my son. This still plays, to this day, over and over in my head…
