Introducing Brandon Dale!
Our great friends, Mitch and Jen, welcomed their little boy Brandon to the world on Friday, June 23rd at 10:55pm. He was 8lbs 10oz and 20.5 inches long. We took a couple more pictures that you can see here. (They aren’t great because I am currently camera-less, so we had to use […]
15th Week Update
June 23rd, 2006 · 3 Comments
I am one whole week into my second trimester and have yet to make any progress on getting back to normal. Heh. Whatever “normal” can be while your body is being inhabited by another human being. Everyone keeps saying it is going to be gradual. I know, I know. But I was hoping for at […]

Since I just wrapped up my first trimester yesterday, I thought I should list out a few things I experienced so that the next time I am pregnant (Ha! Look at me already planning to do this again. Fool.) I can look back and know that everything is right on schedule. Also, its fun to […]

Simeon and I had our 14 week appointment today. I was poked, prodded and tested, but it was all worth it when I heard this:

Ms. Hot Pants

Well, I have officially done it. I am wearing maternity pants. I know I could probably have held off until the start of my second trimester (which was my original goal) but the three pair of pants I can still fit into comfortably were all in the laundry when I got dressed this morning. I […]
Exhaustion and Insomnia

One of the first pregnancy symptoms I noticed (besides the boob thing) was the fatigue. I understood the reason I was so tired All. The. Time. was because I was busy growing a tiny person inside my body. As well as the placenta, which would be the life support system for my baby. I also […]
They Come in Three’s Right?
June 5th, 2006 · 5 Comments
Urgh. So much frustration. So you know that old adage, bad things come in three’s, well it has taken full affect in the Bateman household over the last couple weeks. Firstly, my camera broke. Yeah, my super-expensive-extra-fancy camera. The whole back display part just stopped working. Nope, sorry, I don’t wanna play anymore. The camera […]
