Waiting for the Birth

June 9, 2010

On Friday, I hit 39 weeks pregnant and will be checking back in to the hospital for a second attempt at inducing labor.  The first attempt, last week, was unsuccessful.

When it’s not just morning sickness: Living with Hyperemesis Gravidarum

December 31, 2009

I’m currently in my 16th week of my second pregnancy.  With my first child, I was nauseous during the first trimester, but hadn’t thrown up at all.  I wasn’t surprised to find a few weeks in that I was getting nauseous this time around.  I wasn’t even surprised the first few times I threw up, […]
