Ear Infections and Bell’s Palsy

June 5, 2012 by heatherss 10 Comments

I interrupt the cheery news of belly pics and baby showers to give you the sad update on my health. On the positive side, baby is fine. (As far as I know, he’s still kicking...) Remember I told you guys about more than a week ago about the insect that flew in my ear? Well, the ear problem … [Read more...]

Grow, baby grow!

May 31, 2012 by heatherss 9 Comments

Hello bleeps! Well, not much is really new. I have been resting at home trying to create an optimal place for baby to do his thing? Blood pressure readings have come down, but I’m sure they go up every now and then when I worry? On Monday we went to my GP down the road because an insect had … [Read more...]

Still resting

May 24, 2012 by heatherss 1 Comment

  Someone asked for an update (Mommy to Be), but actually there isn’t much to update. I have pretty much been in bed. Every now and then I sit for a bit just to give myself some variety. Blood pressure has been pretty good, although there have been some fluctuations. On Monday when … [Read more...]

I saw my son in three dimensions

April 14, 2012 by heatherss 6 Comments

Hello bleeps! I am still on holiday this week and have been getting quite a lot done. Went to the traffic dept., paid all fines and got my new driver’s license. I upgraded my phone (still getting used to the touchscreen, but at least it is still a blackberry). And lots of other stuff. I … [Read more...]

New Network: Parenting/ Pregnant after Infertility or Loss

February 25, 2012 by heatherss 6 Comments

Hello bleeps! You must be wondering why so many blog posts at once (I normally barely manage one a week) – it is because I have a long weekend – midterm break. I just wanted to let you all know that Elphaba at Yolk (or what she has renamed Alice in Diaperland) has put together a network of … [Read more...]

My baby bump

January 21, 2012 by heatherss 17 Comments

Firstly, welcome all new subscribers from the self improvement gifts giveaway. (Go there to get loads of free self improvement freebies - it’s a good way to start the year.) I realise that having preggie updates may not be the best news when you are battling infertility yourself, but please … [Read more...]

It’s a boy!

January 6, 2012 by heatherss 12 Comments

On Tuesday we went to see our new ob/gyn Dr K. We waited more than an hour. He popped out and then popped back in ?I just wanted to check on her, and landed up delivering a baby!? But when it was finally our turn he made up with it with a very thorough examination. He even did a pap smear (Ouch, … [Read more...]

Vitamins For Pregnancy

December 28, 2011 by heatherss 10 Comments

I promised an update to the Fertile Food Thoughts post on what to eat when you are pregnant, and this is kind of a part two. Except it has started off as more of an interest in vitamins, and vitamins for pregnancy. (By the way SIF has just written a post about getting cheaper vitamins from … [Read more...]

Vampire Babies

November 20, 2011 by heatherss 6 Comments

  (Spoiler alert: do not read if you are still going to watch Breaking Dawn and don’t want to know what happens) It was probably not a good idea to watch a film about vampire babies, being 9 weeks pregnant and all. For starters I was feeling a bit of nausea and had to have a little … [Read more...]
