Ten Fingers, Ten Toes…
...and a Beating Heart!Thank you, everyone, for your kind prayers. I am certain that they have helped us throughout this pregnancy because, according to the ultrasound technician, we have a “textbook perfect” baby. : )[Such a description doesn’t take into account original sin, of course, but hey, I’m not complaining!]I’ll admit that I cried out of … [Read more...]
A Small Prayer Request
Today’s the day for my 20-week ultrasound, and I’d be fibbing if I said I wasn’t nervous.I hate it that I’m nervous, but I am.If you could offer up a prayer this morning I would be grateful. I’ll be back with an update soon.With love and blessings and bitten nails, … [Read more...]
Strike!
The girls and I cuddled up in my bed last night to read a bedtime story. My ungainly figure kept getting in the way, and as I struggled and heaved and tried to find a comfortable spot, I grew frustrated and exclaimed, “I’m just a bowling ball!”“No you’re not,” Cate reassured me.“They’re little. You’re big.”Looking forward to the next twenty weeks, … [Read more...]
South Beach Update #2
…is on deck. I have much to say after reading your comments and emails (which have been wonderful and helpful and encouraging and wonderful), but first I must go on a date with my husband! Yep, my friend Tina has graciously offered to watch our brood this evening so we can go stare at Mr. Pitt.Did I just say that?In any case, my husband’s … [Read more...]
South Beach Diet Update
The comments made in the post below made me cry. Why? Because these women are friends of the heart who both cared (and dared) to challenge me.The truth is, I hadn't researched the effects of Phase I on a pregnancy before deciding to attempt it, and I haven't talked to my doctor to see if she approves.The ugly truth is, I was hoping to lose some … [Read more...]
Heart-Stopping
Last night, in lieu of that longed-for calamari & movie, I prepared a simple supper of frozen fish sticks (I cooked them first) and picked up this DVD at Blockbuster to watch solo while my husband worked.May I just say that fish sticks are a sad replacement for the calamari at that cozy Italian restaurant just up the road, (though … [Read more...]
With Heartfelt Thanks
I am breaking my blog fast already—I know! I know!—to thank the person responsible for the package I received in the mail today. It came from the National Shrine of St. Gerard in Newark, New Jersey (St. Gerard is the patron saint of expectant mothers) and included a prayer book, a medal, and a beautiful handkerchief with St. Gerard’s image on it … [Read more...]
Turkey, anyone?
My back is creaky from having slept last night in one of the little girl beds in my little girls’ room. I use the phrase “having slept” loosely, because there were many, many times when I leapt from that little girl bed to cross the room and help Felicity.Poor little gal. She told me yesterday evening that she felt sick...and sick she really was. I … [Read more...]
Pregnancy Sloth
If you don’t have the oomph to go to Mass in the morning, the odds are good that you won’t have the oomph to go to Mass that evening.I mean no disrespect for Our Dear Lord. It’s just that I have Absolutely No Energy At All.I wonder if the priest would be willing to say Mass here today.Dragging myself off the couch, I am … [Read more...]
