Welcome to motherhood! It's been 10 days since our little bundle was born and I am only just now finding a few free moments to post to the blog!
Here are the stats: Derek Oliver Burger was born at 5:04 a.m. Nov. 4 (four minutes after polls opened on the east coast on election day). It...

James and I went to our now weekly appointment with the OB this morning and learned that not only am I 1 cm dilated, my cervix is also 90 percent effaced. Which means I'm ripe to pop this boy out. But the doctor really surprised me when she said "The baby could be here in a week or...

As baby grows, I can definitely feel the fact he's got less room to move and groove. This week I've actually seen his feet push against my tummy (up near my ribs) and stick out. I just push them back in.
Today I've noticed that when I'm on the phone, he squirms around a lot. I wonder if he is...

Today is Oct. 21, which means I am one month from my due date of Nov. 21. Of course, if all goes as "planned." Which I hear never does. The baby could be here sooner. Or it could be here later. I have no expectations — only that the baby will come at some point :)
Saturday night,...

It feels like just yesterday when I was writing my first blog post here. And now I'm in my eighth month of pregnancy! But at the same time, it really does feel like I've been pregnant all year ... so time is both going slowly and flying by!
We've had a good September. The fair was the...

I could blame the corn dog, hot link and 1/2 of a deep-fried s'more I ate at the Kern County Fair last night ...
The last time I was weighed was at my doc appointment two weeks ago. 186. Not bad. On track. Good work.
Now, according to "The book" I should be gaining a pound a week. So...

As we research baby sleeping arrangements, we are having a hard time deciding what to do. Maybe some of you parents out there have advice.
Of course, we would like a crib for the baby's room. But for the first couple of months, we'd like the baby to sleep in the bedroom with us. So what do we...

Well folks, the impending birth of this baby is starting to hit me. We've got nine weeks to go, if the baby adheres to the due date of Nov. 21. Less if he comes early. James and I made a timeline of stuff we need to do before he's born, and let me tell you, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed right...

Last week James and I went on a road trip up the California coastal Highway 1, camping along the way at various state parks and beaches. It was a beautiful trip -- we learned to co-exist on the daily and fell into a cooperative pattern of setting up and breaking down camp, cooking and cleaning,...

Well, folks, I am really gaining weight now. I just weighed myself and I am up to 181 pounds. (I'm not shy to share!) My lowest during the pregnancy has been 163, after all the sickness and throwing up. I started the pregnancy at 172.
But "The Book" (how I refer to "What to Expect...
