Pregnancy isn’t divided into nice even trimesters. Supposedly the whole thing lasts 40 weeks with the 1st and 3rd trimesters taking up 13 weeks each and the 2nd trimester taking up 14 weeks. I don’t know if they make the 2nd trimester longer because it’s rumored to be more “enjoyable,” but it kind of bothers me. If you divide the trimesters evenly each one lasts 13.33333 weeks and I hit that mark sometime yesterday. Really it’s all guess-work anyway (see…
Today Audrey officially entered her third trimester. To commemorate that, I though what would be better than to put up a countdown to the big day? However, nothing says the little guy is going to show up on June 1 as scheduled. So, I did a little research. It turns out that the actual birth dates tend to be normally distributed about the estimated due date (mean = -0.5 weeks, standard deviation = 2.12 weeks) according to these guys. (There…
This year’s Valentine’s Day has been a reflective one for me. Things are changing. Like everyone likes to tell me, my “life will never be the same.” It’s fun (and often amusing) to watch siblings and friends enter the dating world or start relationships, but I’m happy with where I’m at. Noel and I didn’t necessarily do anything extremely romantic to celebrate (I got a haircut, we went to a stake sponsored dinner/dance, we cleaned our house, we ate delicious…
Generally when a new year rolls around everyone hits the gym in an attempt to fulfill their unrealistic New Year’s resolutions. Apparently with pregnancy I’m supposed to “take it easy” in the exercise realm, so this year’s resolution won’t involve any races just a commitment to keep putting on the tennis shoes (even if Noel has to tie them) and get out there. Here’s my inspiration: When Paula Radcliffe (professional marathoner) was pregnant she had to slow down and log…
Lately things have been different with Audrey. She is always hungry, especially around breakfast time, and becomes ornery when we don’t eat in a timely manner. She’s always uncomfortably warm too, no matter the temperature. Naps are a necessity. She’s also been forgetting things more lately including locking herself out of the house the other day. I don’t mean to sound alarmist or like I’m complaining. I’m not. These things are very normal symptoms of pregnancy. However, what concerns me…

There has been an uncanny number of first time occurrences happening lately. On Saturday Noel ran the annual 1st Dam run, for the first time. For the first time, he won a ribbon for his age division (which was quite large by the way). Also, for the first time in our married life, I sat on the sidelines and cheered Noel on. Reason why: We’re expecting our first child on June 1st.
