Pregnancy

The time has come for me to get rid of the weight I gained during pregnancy. Initially, I was going...

I have a ton of stuff to talk about--from breast feeding to sleep deprivation--but before I do any of that I think I need to talk about the birth.

I cannot believe it. I have been contracting every 5 minutes for the last 24 hours. Up until about 3...

I thought it was a good time for everybody to guess the baby's weight. I can't believe I'm putting this video up on my website because I look extremely puffy and my bare belly is hanging out. But hey. That's pregnancy.

I realize that a due date is more of a guideline than a deadline, but it's still weird to buy...

I was on the phone with a friend the other night and she wanted to know why, at 38 weeks...

I am SO READY to be done with maternity clothes! Now that I'm at the end of my pregnancy, I am down to one pair of pants and three shirts. Here are the Best and Worst maternity clothes I've found.

This week I am 37 weeks pregnant and I had my first labor scare-- or freak out-- on Wednesday.

Now that I am officially "full term" (37 weeks today!), it occurred to me that I should probably at least...

I just had a really bad week. My emotions have been all over the place--but mostly I have been a...

I saw this story on CNN recently, about a cat that knows when people are about to die (that, or...

For the most part, I've been relatively comfortable during this pregnancy. But I just got hit this week (35) with discomfort and a nasty case of grumpiness. I just cannot snap out of it. My stomach feels really tight and I can't imagine how on earth the baby inside me is supposed to gain 2 more pounds before I give birth. It just seems impossible. So, to amuse myself, I made this list. It's the eight signs you're in the home stretch of pregnancy.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and I feel like I must be the ugliest pregnant woman on the planet.

That's me behind the black curtain with my belly poking out. The belly is going to be part of an...

This week, I am 33 weeks pregnant and I am having a hell of a time concentrating on anything. I still have 7 weeks until my official due date and because this is my first child and the pregnancy has gone well so far (knock on wood), I don't expect to be in labor until on or after my due date.

So, this week I'm talking about yoga. I've never practiced yoga until my pregnancy and I have to say that I really like it. I think pregnancy is a good time to start the practice because prenatal classes are very gentle and you don't have to worry about whether you look graceful.

Yoga for Pregnancy, Labor & Birth is a prenatal yoga DVD produced by the Seattle Holistic Center. The instructor on...

I've spent the better part of this week picturing a baby coming out of some woman's bajango.

Spent the weekend at the Bella Beach rental community just outside Depoe Bay, OR. We stayed in the Beaches 'n...

I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and I feel like I've been in a petri dish since January.

I feel like I’ve been pretty knowledgeable about this whole pregnancy thing, but it only took one two-hour class for me to feel pretty uninformed. And stupid.

I am 28 weeks pregnant and, this week, I have started to feel like a crazy person.
