The Good Stuff
The medical school life and I are having a little tiff at the moment. OK, I’ll be honest. It’s on the receiving end of red-headed hormonal fury. It’s easy to let the stressful stuff take over sometimes. But if it does, I think I’ll end up forgetting about all the amazing things. With all the … Continue reading
How we started a nursery
With nothing else to do, I have succumb to the urge to nest. It’s OK if you laugh hysterically. I am finding it pretty funny myself that the universe decided to take the least domestic person it could find, give her a negative net worth, get her pregnant and give her urges to decorate. What … Continue reading
Baby Bump Update: 29 and Feelin’ Fine
The third trimester is officially in full swing and enough has changed that a little update is in order. How are ya feeling these days? Like a whale! Previously nausea kept me from running, jumping and playing like I used to. Now, my expanding belly’s simple mechanics are getting in the way. But, oh I … Continue reading
You know you are in med school when …
The bed is never made because someone is always sleeping in it. You use terms like “Gen Surg” and “Surg Onc” in every day conversations and mistakenly believe that you do not sound like a goose. You do. Everything is abbreviated. You can look at $250,000 in loan debt and resist the urge to pee … Continue reading
How Does Your Garden Grow?
Recently we became the owners of a little enclosed concrete slab outside our back door. The landlords like to call it a patio. The first few weeks, we called it something else much less complimentary. But now, it is our garden! To flex our green thumb we planted strawberries, tomatoes, peas and my favorite little … Continue reading
Something old, something new
On May 17th, we were able to celebrate the wedding of my cousin (once removed) Nicole and her prince charming Eric and send them laughing and goofing together into married bliss. Her big day brought together family that hadn’t been together in years. My mom, her siblings and their children (only missing one) were finally … Continue reading
The Quietest Mothers Day Of Them All
I didn’t hear the pitter patter of little feet this mothers day – although I sure felt them bouncing on my bladder! It was a sweet experience to take a day and reflect on what it means to be a mother, while the screaming baby beast is still contained in-utero. David has been my greatest … Continue reading
Three years later …
May 7th marked three years together. In that time we have lived in three different countries, four different apartments (plus many stints with family in between) and grown closer as a couple. Being married to a medical student can be a roller coaster. But I am glad that I get to take that ride with … Continue reading
“Because She is a Mother”
Every step toward motherhood is daunting. Amid the seemingly constant (self-induced) blast of Pinterest ideas, developmental methods, career pressures and blog posts about posh nurseries-to-be, these words of wisdom were needed and refreshing. Holland’s touching words remind me that with a reliance on God our inadequacies “are made whole”. “In speaking of mothers generally, … Continue reading
22 Week Pregnancy Update
It’s getting real around here folks! Now to answer all your burning questions: 1. Showing much yet? Judge for yourself 🙂 2. How’s the nausea? Meh, not bad. I still have my moments but thankfully the “throne worship” has decreased to about once a day. 3. Is he moving? Um, is he ever NOT moving? … Continue reading
