So being the 4th of July weekend, I saw/met lots of people at various events and everyone’s reaction was always the same: “You are so tiny!” Which is funny because I feel huge! I guess it’s because even though my stomach is growing outward by the day, the rest of me is staying the same size. And I’m happy for that. Even before I ever imagined being pregnant I’d...
So my feet definitely can’t take standing for 6 hours straight at work anymore :(
The question most people seem to ask me is if I’ve had any weird cravings yet. Not really. I wonder when that starts? Or if it ever will?
Saw a bunch of Esky girls at Amy’s art show. They all agree that a little boy is just what all of us Borden (or should I say Pierson?) girls need. And every one...

“Fetuses have sleep and wake cycles, and you may find that these get more...”
– The weekly pregnancy update news letter I get from ivillage. So that explains it. I still like the Stewart/Colbert explanation better.
The other day at work I had bad cramps in my lower abdomen, and when I got home, I swear my stomach was bigger than it was when I left for work that morning. Even Josh noticed it. It’s so weird how you can notice the difference in just a day!
Gross
ridiculousroo:
This morning as I was leaving class and on my way to work, I all of a sudden got sick. And I realized as I was pulling into the parking lot for work that I was in fact going to throw up and there was nothing I could do to stop it. So I reached for a Burger King bag that was on the floor and proceeded to violently puke into the bag while I was still driving. I managed to pull into a...
Parenting skills
I feel somewhat guilty about the fact that I haven’t concerned myself with reading up on how to take care of a baby/parenting. Every time I think about it though, I think, “Oh I have plenty of time to start worrying about that later!” Procrastination and I go hand in hand, apparently in all aspects of my life. You’re talking about the girl who starts 10 page papers the...
Poll on What to Name Our Baby →
Josh created a poll on his brother’s website where people can vote on what they think we should name our baby. Never mind the “Nicodemous” option. Josh put it cuz he thinks its funny. And of course that had the most votes… that is until I went to the sight and clicked on Nicklas 10 times.
So as I mentioned, I feel “little guy” moving around the most around the same time every night. My mother’s hypothesis is that just like babies who like to be rocked, my duder likes the motion of when I’m moving around, so when I settle down for the night, that’s when he starts making a ruckas. However, I’ve discovered a new correlation and I like to believe...
He's a kicker!
So my little guy is very active! I can feel him moving and kicking around all of the time. He’s already kicking so hard that you can see my stomach move. I love putting my hands on my stomach and feeling it. I make Josh do it sometimes but I don’t think he finds it as thrilling. Haha. I like to belive that he does it to get “attention” and to remind me that he’s...
As I’m heading into my 19th week of pregnancy, I realized how fast this is all going by and thought to myself that maybe I should be keeping a journal of this whole experience. But I’ve never been good at keeping journals or diaries. However, I’m GREAT at blogging. So I’ve decided to start a tumblr dedicated to this journey. Enjoy.
