I’m back from my trip, and my cold is mostly gone. I’m still dragging, though. I have this headache that comes back on most days. I’m trying to resist taking anything for it, for the baby’s sake, but sometimes I’ve had enough and take some Tylenol (which is OK for pregnancy). I’ve also been taking […]

[This is an entry from Steve] Before Kate became pregnant, we bought a book about pregnancy and what to expect.

Today, I got my pre-natal vitamins and… they’re pink! Of course, we won’t find out the baby’s actual gender for […]

Growth

By kate on August 12th, 2005

This is the first week where I’ve been able to notice growth. I can see a difference between where my stomach was on Sunday, and where it is today. I’d say I’m really “showing” a bit, finally, instead of just accumulating fat. I’m still pretty small, of course, but it’s progress. I told the people […]
