Or "Try, Try Again"

You may have noticed that I get to feeling pretty sorry for myself when I’m feeling nauseous or when I don’t want to deal with blood sugar issues. Today I had a little push in the gratitude direction. This morning I got a call from a nurse at Kaiser. As I mentioned yesterday, I assumed [...]
Image via Wikipedia I fed my kids and myself waffles for dinner tonight. Not homemade waffles, which are superior to anything else in every way except prep time/effort. We ate Eggo waffles for dinner, with syrup on top. Not pure maple syrup, but a simple sugar syrup flavored with immitation maple flavoring that I made [...]

I had my first prenatal doctor appointment this morning. I got to have an early ultrasound to measure the age of the baby, it’s size, etc., and it looks like I’m twelve weeks along and the due date is January 7th (or 5th, depends on which measurement we go with). Hey, if we go by [...]

When I’m not pregnant I very rarely take naps. Why? 1) Because I don’t really get that tired during the day. 2) Because even if I am that tired it’s hard to figure out how to get the kids to both go to sleep at the same time or be in an otherwise safe state [...]

Image via Wikipedia I’ve been exercising 30 minutes a day, every day except Sundays, for more than 40 days now! This is a huge change for previously unathletic me, and I’ve learned a couple of things in the process. I thought I’d record my thoughts on the subject while I’m in a good mood so [...]
Image via Wikipedia This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical. It was an adventure! It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long. The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a [...]
I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning. It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance. People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take [...]
