As you know we’ve been busting our butts to get stuff done these days. Yesterday we had my chiropractor appointment, talked with our slumlords on the phone (and got out of our lease), then we went to the bank per their request to place stop payments on the 2 checks we sent them for rent […]

Purring Cats on Pregnant Bellies… 24 week pregnancy thoughts
Well yesterday was the beginning of my 24th week of pregnancy. Other than the belly button pain and the occasional rib cage or back pain all is well. The bump is growing but I was surprised to see that I didn’t gain much weight over the month. I’ve got a prenatal appointment with the OBGYN […]
Checketty, check, check those things off that list!
The last few days have been jam packed with adult obligations and what not. We’ve spent much time at our bank trying to figure out the mystery of our February rent payment. We’ve researched landlord/ tenants legalities and sent out another certified letter with our March rent payment. We cleaned house with our free, spiffy […]
Home birthing supply kit and Tater preparations.
I still can’t believe I am a pregnant lady! Spending my days at home doesn’t provide much opportunity for getting dressed up in much more than PJ’s or workout clothes. Naturally I have not been able to see just how pregnant I truly am since I am not getting dressed up and going many places […]
Slumloards, credit scores and a prenatal chiropractor [in a pear tree]…
Being all pregnancy slackerific the majority of the time means that when the energy does actually come in spurts we have a crapload of stuff to accomplish all at once. Thankfully as a team N and I have managed to continue getting everything dealt with that needs to be. It is days like today that […]
20 week ultrasound appointment. We're having a…
[POPUP=IMG1]We got in for our appointment and got some nifty photos of our little one today. We even got a little CD with the photos in addition to the ultrasound printout. N was way excited about our appointment and he is super stoked at the news. Lets see, I weighed in at 119 today and […]
18 week milestone for baby Tater Tot and parents
Many of you already know that this is a big week for us and little Tater Tot. On Thursday we will be at 19 weeks, will learn the sex of our baby and attend another prenatal exam with the OBGYN. I am sure seeing her will just be a delight as usual. Plus we are […]
The world will not end over 1/2 inch of snow guys!!
We awoke early Monday morning to this sight of about 1/2 an inch of snow. What we normally consider a “dusting”. Well we got to see first hand how the town shuts down over winter weather… Yeah so I wrote this post yesterday morning talking about how silly it was to see the entire town […]
A look at search terms
Lots of my blogger buddies take a look at humorous search terms on their blog and make a post about them every now and then. For some reason despite my blogging about poo and other odd things I NEVER get any funny search terms and it is a real bummer for me! I have lots […]
Pregnancy + Food= WTF!!
Pregnancy + Food usually brings to mind thoughts of insane cravings at all hours of the day and ungodly amounts of eating. Banana and pickle sandwiches or cheese cake with sardines, right? Well not if you are in my shoes! I am in a major food rut these days. The only foods I am craving […]
16 week prenatal exam was today!
We were up and off to the OBGYN early this morning for the usual listen to the baby’s heartbeat and ask questions appointment which is almost completely pointless by the way. If we had the little heartbeat machine at home the doctors appointments wouldn’t even be necessary. That is how helpful the doc is! My […]
Prenatal appointments, huge zits and freezing rain fill my brain.
This week I have not one but two prenatal appointments scheduled. I am now in my 15th week of pregnancy (yippie!) and will be meeting Pamela @ The Farm this weekend. We are also seeing the OBGYN on Thursday morning for our 3rd prenatal appointment. N is anticipating the prenatal appointments because he gets anxious […]
I am 4 months pregnant and trying to eat better, it is hard!
I know you are all probably sick and tired of reading about my desires to birth at The Farm so I just wanted to mention a few things then I am on to discuss other things. I found a study posted here that takes an interesting look at Farm births versus hospital births, also there […]
Taking the next step towards birthing at The Farm
After talking right through the New Years Eve countdown N agreed that we would make the trip down to The Farm in TN and take the next step towards planning our birth there. The financial aspects of our situation really bother me and they are the only reason why we would choose not to birth […]
Evansville Indiana Alternative Birthing Options & Research personal stories pictures say 1000 words pregnancy
Still trying to find somewhere near southern Indiana to deliver my baby…
This week we found out that CPM (certified professional midwives) are not covered via N’s employer plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield does cover midwives in other plans but for the specific plan elected by N’s employer they are not included… Bummer This reminds me of how we felt discovering that same sex domestic partnerships are […]
Getting the holiday ducks in a row and not looking like a hobo anymore!
Last night the temperature got down to 8 degrees here in Evansville, right now it is about 20 degrees and I am inches from my space heater trying to keep warm. Can you believe there are only a few days left until Christmas? We managed to get lots of stuff taken care of this weekend […]
Black friday here we come!
I am surprisingly very excited about turkey day and “Black Friday”. Don’t worry I have no intention of actually shopping in stores the day after Thanksgiving, that would be pure madness! I am using a great online sale website that is designed specifically for just Black Friday. In past years we have had a blast […]

I know many over the counter medications are not safe during pregnancy so I am looking for some tried and true remedies if you have any to share. Common mommy bloggers I am depending on your expert knowledge… Before […]
Watch Freebirthing on Discovery Health next week!
The Discovery Health channel will be airing “Freebirthing” several more times next week if you are at all interested in alternative birthing practices. Freebirthing is basically unassisted childbirth, women who usually have low risk pregnancies learn about the birth process and carry it out on their own without doctors or midwives. They simply tune in […]
Baby Confirmed!
N is blogging this morning because T is recouperating after her visit to the OB/GYN. We woke up early this morning to get ready for our first appointment. We normally start every morning off with a cup of coffee together but early ones require even more coffee to get the morning started. Don’t worry, we’ve […]
