It’s official, Ian is full-term! His due date isn’t actually until April 29th, but 37 weeks is considered a full-term pregnancy and since we hit that mark yesterday I, as his mommy, give him permission to come on out and play! Physically, he and I are both making our preparations to do just that. As [...]

Ian Scott - At Almost 32 Weeks
This pregnancy has not gotten nearly as much print as the last one did, but that doesn’t mean it’s been less eventful! Ian has actually kept us hopping for more than half of the pregnancy so far…and recently that’s become more literal.
Our ultrasound at 17 weeks showed placenta previa - which means that [...]
Boy, oh BOY!
Yup, it’s official - I am the proud mama of TWO boys! Our second son, Ian Scott Pendrak, was nowhere near as shy as his big brother at revealing his gender. While I lay on the ultrasound table, the tech asked if we wanted to know the sex. Before she even finished the sentence, Michael [...]
Catching up on…Pregnancy #2
So I am now 15 weeks pregnant and I have yet to blog about it even once! I made the phone calls and did the Facebook announcement but my blog has been woefully silent on the matter. I wasted some time feeling guilty about this…like I was somehow shortchanging this little baby by not posting [...]
Well…
So we had our visit with the midwife today. I don’t think this little guy is ever going to come out.
The appointment started, as usual, with the nurse taking my weight, blood pressure and checking for any new complaints. She also reviewed that ultrasound report from my scan last week and noted that [...]
Even more ready…
On the theory that Michael Aaron will have to come before food would have time to spoil (if properly stored) I went shopping for and prepared goodies to have on hand when I go into labor. Unlike with a hospital birth, a midwife will allow and even encourage eating during labor to keep your strength [...]
282 (out of 280) Days Pregnant…
For those of you who look here to find out if I am still “in a family way” I thought I’d post to let you know that I am still indeed “knocked up”…and much less cheerful about it! I spent yesterday doing some heavy duty cleaning (with Mom and Michael’s help!) and hoped that being [...]
40 Weeks Down, ??? Left to Go!
Well as my previous update (given just after midnight) stated, I am still pregnant. Today is my due date though, so there is still hope. Traditionally, doctors consider you “on time” if you deliver within two weeks on either side of your due date. I would consider myself “on time” if I delivered by midnight [...]
39 Weeks Down, 1 Week Left to Go!
Yes…I’m still pregnant! And since I have no idea what “going into labor” feels like, I’m not sure if I’m getting any closer. Ah well, I’m still not nearly as uncomfortable as many of my pregnant counterparts are and have been at this stage of the game, so I can’t complain too much. Michael Aaron [...]
38 Weeks Down, 2 Left to Go!
Woot! Only two weeks to go and as my body is in full “prepare for labor” mode, there is some hope that we have even fewer days to wait! Michael’s mom predicted December 17th last weekend and yesterday I received an email from my mom that suggested the same day. Coincidence?
The imminent arrival of Michael [...]
