Three Weeks
So being a mom is pretty awesome. Our son is twenty kinds of adorable. I even get excited about changing poopy diapers because I can record a poop and many poops means he’s getting enough food. It’s like points in a game. Plus, the cloth diapers are awesome. We were having crazy leak problems with […]
Meet Owen Edward
I started having contractions after my Dr appointment Monday afternoon where I was not dilated at all. They kept getting more intense until the point I woke up at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep again. Tuesday night, I was in a lot of pain and the contractions were close together, but irregular. I […]
Waiting
Ha ha, three years ago today. I had fun reading that post. It’s comforting to know I’ve since addressed all of my concerns about having kids. One of the comments suggested I wait until I’m 29 :) Baby can come any day now. Just waiting. Been extra hormonal lately. Hard to sleep because there’s just […]
He’s Full Term Now!
I was going to post my 36 week picture, but we never took one. Here’s one from my work shower instead. Ishrat insisted everyone touch my belly, which was as awkward as it looks. I’ll post pictures from the friends shower once Julia posts them :) Everyone has been very generous. I can’t believe I […]
More Baby Updates
We had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago. Doctor was afraid baby was small, but he was actually on the big side. Also, he has a lot of hair. And he was breech. Since then, we’ve been trying to figure out if he’s turned or not. You’d think it’d be easy to tell. Mysterious large […]

Hackathons
Maryam and I decided to participate in two hackathons at work and due to a schedule change, they happened to overlap. There’s this mobilithon that took place over the course of the last two weeks. It sucked because I was the only one with time to work on the app. I did the best I […]
Yeah, I’m Cheap
We don’t have termites! We just have ants and not carpenter ants, just pavement ants. That dust by the door is just dirt and ant bodies. Ew. And our bathroom is done! Even had a local guy do it on the cheap and so glad wee took the risk because it looks great! And the […]
Latest Happenings
My 26 week picture. Still feeling alright. My biggest challenge lately is eating. Normally I can fit quite a bit of food in my stomach, and I forget that I have limited space now. I’ve gotten better though. I just have to remind myself to stop eating long before I’m full, take the rest home […]
The Second Trimester is Alright
I’ve written about the not so fun parts of pregnancy, but it’s not all bad. Here are some of the things I’ve been enjoying: My eating behaviors are socially acceptable. People expect me to be hungry and stuffing my face all the time now. In fact, I’ll often get food shoved in my face. It’s […]
