I heard a tragic story today. One of my friends has a friend who was expecting a baby, and tests indicated that her baby had Down’s syndrome. Her husband wanted to terminate the pregnancy; of course, the mother did not. This caused such a...

We found a crib and changing table at a sale for cheap. I know we probably won’t use the crib right away, because I’m going to nurse the baby, and I want him (I still think it’s a boy) right close to me and at arm’s reach. I don’t want to have...

My little one must really be growing, because my appetite has increased! Sometimes I don’t feel pregnant, but I know I am, and I think about it constantly, pretty much 24/7. It’s hard to concentrate on anything else. All I’ve been doing is dreaming...

I know why they call the second trimester the honeymoon period of pregnancy. I feel so much better now. I can pretty much eat like normal, and I have my energy back and can almost work out like I used to. Thank You, Lord, for getting me over the...

I’m so excited! I’m in my second trimester now, and I’m also feeling better. I started taking exercise classes this week; and even though I’ve taught exercise for years, it’s different being a student. I don’t have to think about which moves are...

It’s been a hard week. I’ve felt exhausted; and on top of that, Micah has been a handful. I wish I could play with him like I used to, but I just don’t have the energy. I want to be Super-Mom; but right now, I’ll settle for Okay-Mom.
Yesterday...

Food has always been a sensitive issue for me since I’m limited on what I can eat due to allergies. I also maintain a healthy eating lifestyle, but during this pregnancy, I’ve splurged a little. Once in a while is okay for mom and baby. This week...

Well, I’ve gained a couple more pounds, but I’m not “showing” yet. And I started feeling a little queasy this week, and I can’t have that. I still am working full time and I have a very busy schedule this month. I did figure out that if I eat my...

This week was New Years and I felt a little better this week, but still have some depression so I really need to talk to someone. Maybe I need a counselor. My sister gave me her mother-in-laws number. She’s a Christian counselor so I’ll give her a...

This week we had our first pre-natal visit and our first ultra sound. Seeing my little one on the screen was so amazing! Dan was there too, of course, and he got really excited. This little person that is growing inside of me, my baby, wow… and...
(I’m continuing to share my private journals from my 1st pregnancy.)
Well that was not my best Christmas. I was soooooo depressed. What’s wrong with me? I cried almost the whole time and Dan’s mom and sister thought I was nuts! Well, I was. Normally I’m a happy go lucky person, but not this...

It's week nine, the week of Christmas, and I'm feeling pretty emotional this week. Maybe it's because we're not going to Hawaii to see my family this year. We'll be with Dan's family, and I love them too, but it's just not the same...

It’s week 8 and I’m soooooo tired this week. I felt like I was hit by a bus. It’s weird because I usually have a lot of energy and am the kind of person that keeps on going all day long!!! But all I want to do is crawl up in a little...
(These are my private journals from my first pregnancy.)
It’s week seven and I just started my video journal this week, to record all the details of my pregnancy. I am getting more excited about having a baby! I wonder what he/she will look like. I bet he'll have dark hair like his father...

The publisher just asked me which sub-title I should pick.
Well, I’m letting you pick. Please vote for the one you like best.

It’s my 5th week of pregnancy and it just hit me; I’m both happy and scared at the thought that I’m going to be a mommy. We called our family and they are all excited for us. My parents had 7 children so they were supper excited to hear that their 35-year-old daughter was finally pregnant...
The day I found out that I was pregnant was such an amazing feeling, but the day I told my husband was even better! I never thought I’d get the reaction that I did from him…
It’s Wednesday, the Day before Thanksgiving: My homemade card with the baby announcement inside is all ready to give...
I can’t believe that this was almost 5 years ago to the date. This was such a wonderful time for me to find out that I was pregnant, right around Thanksgiving! God really knew what he was doing. Even though I wanted to be pregnant months earlier, everything turned out according to His plan…...
As promised, I am sharing with you my private journals from “week one” of my pregnancy. Getting pregnant didn’t come as easily as I thought it would! I figured that since my husband and I we’re strong and healthy, we’d be pregnant the very first month. I even told everyone that we’d be pregnant...
Today I’m am officially starting my first blog. It’s titled 40 Weeks—My First Journey Through Pregnancy.
You see, pregnancy use to scare me. My mom was always pregnant, or so it seemed. I was the 2nd eldest of 7 children. As a teenager, all I could remember was my mom walking around fat and...
