https://raincamedown.wordpress.com/2015/07/23/pregnancy-update-5-weeks
The rain came down. One couple's unexpected journey to parenthood. Pregnancy Update: 5 Weeks. July 23, 2015. What’s happening with the baby? Cricket is about the size of a red lentil. The neural tube is forming, as are the heart and circulatory system. I have gained about 2 lbs, but mostly due to constipation and bloat. GOOD TIMES. Not yet, but probably soon. The only jeans I can fit into are my “fat” jeans– the ones I wore post-partum before I lost weight! Anything make you queasy or sick? I feel like a...

The rain came down. One couple's unexpected journey to parenthood. MIA for No Good Reason. November 19, 2015. According to this app it’s been 24 days since I last posted. I plead mother-to-a-toddler. I’m really too tired to be doing this right now, but if I don’t do it now it could be weeks and weeks more… no telling! Cricket is doing well! At each appointment I ask them to give me a weight goal for my next appointment. I’m trying hard to stay on track and not undo all of the hard work I did af...We met ...

Post-Baby Immune System | the rain came down
https://raincamedown.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/post-baby-immune-system
The rain came down. One couple's unexpected journey to parenthood. July 22, 2015. Apparently, during pregnancy the immune system is supressed. This can have lasting effects. Another result is that I have developed a lactose intolerance. I used to guzzle milk; now I mostly avoid it and I take a lactase tablet if I’m going to indulge in dairy. I reeeeally hope it doesn’t get any worse! Big taking good care of her sick mama! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

I am currently mama to Bug and hoping to add a new baby to our little family within the next year or so. After trying to conceive for 15 months,...

The rain came down. One couple's unexpected journey to parenthood. Pregnancy Update: 6 Weeks. July 30, 2015. The weeks are going by so much more quickly this time! I guess that’s what having a toddler to keep track of will do for you! What’s happening with the baby? Cricket is about the size of a chocolate chip! Baby’s facial features (eyes, nose, ears, mouth) are beginning to form! The heart is now beating a rapid 100-160bpm. Lungs, brain, muscles, and bones are also beginning to form. My appointment in...
