I heard from Katrina at The Birth Center today and it turns out I failed my 1-hour glucose test. My result was a 147 and passing is 135 or below. Argh. The next step is to go to the lab for a 3-hour test and hope that I pass that one. So for all of [...]

The Alien Within
There is something alive in my belly. I’ve known this for awhile, have even felt his little kicks. But as Michael Aaron has gotten bigger and stronger, it has really begun to sink in that there is a living creature in my abdomen. In the past few days I have begun to see my belly [...]
27 Weeks Down, 13 To Go
13 Weeks?!? Really? I know if I do the math, that still equals roughly three months, but still, it really doesn’t seem that far away. Particularly with the way September has flown by (for me anyway!). It’s a good thing we’ve gotten such a great head start on the nursery. Michael Aaron will be here [...]
So not “showing” is a good thing?
Today brought another appointment with our midwife…actually a new midwife! The Birth Center now has three midwives on staff and today I met with the newest addition. She was nice and I liked her and it would be okay if she (or any of them really) delivered our Michael Aaron. The highlight of today’s visit [...]

A stray friend…
I had an interesting commute to work this morning! As I was driving through the neighborhood, the car in front of me stopped to let a dog cross. When the dog moved in front of my car, I stopped as well. When I failed to see her appear in my mirror, I opened my car [...]
The nursery is taking shape!
For the past couple of weekends, we have been hard at work on the nursery and it is really beginning to take shape. Michael has painted (and then painted again!) and I have sorted and stacked all of the baby items we have already acquired. I also researched our options for nursery furniture [...]
From here on out…
…I’ll be posting the baby updates and general “life with the Pendrak’s” updates here! Michael has set up our family website as an ideal way to share with our family and friends and of course to post those baby pictures once Michael Aaron joins us. I moved over all of the baby update [...]
Week 26
Hello Family! It has been a busy week for us and for Michal Aaron! The biggest news of the week is that we welcomed our new niece! Michael’s brother, Chis and his wife Abigail welcomed baby Abigail Kylie on Tuesday evening. You can check her out on their website at: http://thependraks.blogspot.com/. Little Abigail kept her [...]
Week 25
Hello! I just love seeing that “to go” numer get smaller and 15 weeks just doesn’t sound like that long at all. Of course I’m not huge and uncomfortable yet, so please don’t quote that back to me when I am. I am steadily growing my baby belly though and while it is still more [...]
