Symptoms Update

Ok I haven't shared with you any of my updated pregnancy "symptoms" since week 18. Since I'm coming up on Week 28 I figure now is a good time to go through the list again!


Previously Listed Symptoms:


Change and Soreness in Breasts and Nipples: no change, still sore. Ouch.


Visiting the Loo More Often: Oh yeah, definitely. Every hour. Especially when I'm exhausted and just want to sleep.


Change in Appetite and Cravings for Foods: Still no serious cravings, unless you count ice cream which has ALWAYS been my weakness...

Fatigue: This has gotten much better. I'm still in bed fairly early every night but I can actually have a conversation with Paul when I get home from work without falling asleep in my dinner.


Stronger Sense of Smell: No change here...


Heartburn: Only once in a while if I eat too much...


Constipation: Not too much of a problem at this point.. knock on wood.


Changes in Skin and Hair: Still no obvious change, at least not to me.. Maybe other people see it...


Mood Swings: Still no real mood swings... Although I DID have a mini-breakdown last Thursday when I got home from work. Was feeling overwhelmed by everything we have to/want to get done before the baby arrives...


Lower Back Pain: Ok my back still hurts about as much as before, but now my hips hurt.. Sometimes when I get up out of bed they feel like my legs are just going to pop right out of the sockets and fall off... Wouldn't that be fun???

Other symptoms not listed before:


Hemorrhoids: nope, not yet...


Cramping in legs: oh yes.. this is something that's always bothered me from time to time but it's much more frequent now and happens quite a bit at night, waking me up... And the best part is that the only thing that helps besides stretching is ...... drinking more water..... which means more trips to the Loo..... good times.

So there's the update!!! Not terribly exciting, I know... But at least the cartoon is funny!

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

March: What Home Looks Like

(Welcome if you've arrived here from Laurie Schultz's blog !)  Over the years the definition of Home for me has changed.  Growing up it was, of course, the house I lived in with my parents and my brothers.   Even after college when I moved to another state “home” was still back in that house.   Although my apartments were homey and some of my roommates became like family to me, Home was always back in my hometown in the house I grew up in. Even after moving in with Paul, getting married, and buying our own house, a small part of me still felt like home was back in Pennsylvania.  We were creating our own newlywed version of home but I always referred to going to my parents’ house as “going home.”  This has changed since having children though.  Now home is here- where my heart is, figuratively and literally.  It’s wonderful and exhausting and messy and crazy- usually all at once.  And I wouldn't change any of it.  Now, home is where my hubby takes care of thin
