Long Week Links
As you all know, I’m once again up to my eyeballs in school, my school club, homework, keeping my house clean, and blah blah blah. Let alone being pregnant and having a toddler. Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking deciding to take so much onto my plate. Regardless, I decided that while I may … Read more
Pregnancy Exercise
I won’t lie, I’m not good at exercising. I’ve been to the gym (Which I pay a monthly fee for and cannot cancel. See: Bad with money.) twice since learning I was pregnant. The first time was to continue my regular Pilates class, which I left because I was horribly dizzy halfway through. Second time … Read more
Freezing Shredded Zucchini
Last year at the farmers market I bought a very large zucchini for $1 with the intent to freeze it. The man at the booth told me that I could just shred it and freeze it and it would be perfect for zucchini bread all year round. Sadly, that zucchini sat in my fridge for … Read more
Rekindled Friendships and Breastfeeding Baskets
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine had a baby shower. I doubt any of you read back this long and honestly I don’t want to even re-read it myself, but I once wrote a post about this friend and a big argument we had about breastfeeding. She thought I was being brash … Read more
Toddler Scarf Time!
It seems as though my posts as of late are lacking. My brain can function to write an eight page lab report, but sadly can’t come out with coherent thoughts for my blog. Guess I can blame it on pregnancy brain? Regardless, I’m obviously not posting a lot lately. I’m still writing a lot, but … Read more
Spreading the Word
Thought you might all like to see a sign that I saw posted at Peanut’s preschool in the area where parents check their children in on the computer. Sorry about the crappy quality. Finding this made my day.
No Glucose Soda For Me, Thanks
If I were going to a regular OB, I would be doing a glucose tolerance test at my next appointment. The basic idea is that you don’t eat anything in the morning, then you go in and drink a soda-type drink that’s full of glucose, then they test your blood at whatever intervals your doctor … Read more
Incorporating Breastfeeding Into My Schoolwork
It seems silly posting an essay for my zoology class on my blog, but I thought you all might find it interesting. The assignment was to explain homology to one of our idols who wouldn’t necessarily know what it was about. Part of this was using examples that would make sense to them. I chose … Read more
Preserving Garden Tomatoes-Tomato Sauce
This year I decided to plant two tomato plants that I got for $2 each at my school’s semesterly Botany Club plant sale. Oh boy am I happy that I did. My Beefsteak tomatoes aren’t really coming in. The plant itself is huge, but not really producing babies and according to the internet that means … Read more
Childbirth Classes Required
You will not get through natural childbirth without having taken some sort of class. I know there are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part that is true. I’ve talked to many moms who “want to try to do it naturally, but still have the option of the epidural” and they never actually … Read more
