The Second Trimester
For quite some time I’ve been neglectful of my blogging, blog reading and picture uploading, but alas today calls from a break for all the life craziness. Today is my first day in the second trimester! Milestone acheived! Woohoo! The past few weeks have both flown and moved at a snail’s pace.
Overall, I’ve been feeling […]
Resignation
TO: My Manager
FROM: A.S.T-L
SUBJECT: Resignation from Company
I am providing this letter as official notice of my intent to leave the Institute. My last day of work will be July 4, 2008.
Despite circumstances, this decision is a difficult one for me. I am grateful for all the opportunities and challenges that were provided […]
A Quickie
All is well. After crying and praying all night long and squeezing our son this morning, I went in to the doctor’s office around 10 am. The sonogram showed a very squirmy baby; one so squirmy that the doctor could barely get a measurement. Is this going to be our problem child?!
The full […]
Scared
This morning I woke up at my usual 1am to start the bathroom rounds. I was rudely awakened. The spotting had slightly increased and turned red. I tried to breathe but I couldn’t. I some how made it back to the bed to get Fran to show her. I was […]

This spotting is going drives me freakin’ mad!!! It happened once earlier today and then all was calm. Now is it there? Is it not? I don’t know!
I know I shouldn’t worry, but it’s really hard not to. I couldn’t get a hold of Fran the first time, so I went to a friend’s office […]
SAHM Needed?
I had seen these types of figures (and higher) before but in light of my upcoming transition, I found this highly interesting. It’s reported that a SAHM’s work would be a salary of approximately $117,000. Unfortunately, Fran has told me that with an expected salary such as this, she is unable to afford me. So anyone in […]

Congested, sore throat and a slight fever (99.4 max) with minimal sick leave left. Blah! My fever has been waning all day, but it’s the constant running nose and sneezing that’s driving me crazy. Will I ever be able to breathe without squinting or hold my nose from all the pressure? Ugh!
I also got my progesterone […]
Birthday Finale
My 26th birthday might have just been my second best birthday ever! Favorite birthday #1 was last year when Elijah had come home to us only a week before.
On my actual birthday, Fran completely surprised me by getting off of work early and buying me surprise gifts. (We normally aren’t big on buying each other gifts, […]
A Progression
Sonogram #1 - April 23 (5 weeks 1 day)
This sonogram wasn’t planned but was just to make sure everything was okay since I had starting spotting. We didn’t see much but the egg sac.
Sonogram #2 - May 7 (7 weeks 1 day) The head is near the top middle with the little tail toward the […]
Placebo Be Gone!
Yesterday’s bloodwork deemed that my progesterone levels have stabilized over the last couple of weeks. It was my first day without my progesterone prescription which we lovingly refer to as my placebo. In my own research, I know its use is controversial, but I eagerly added it to my daily routine. Being a person who doesn’t […]
Posted by frangela on June 5th, 2008 under Health, Baby II | Comment now »Informed Parents
I was planning on telling my parents about my pregnancy this past Friday. I simply felt pressured to do it. In my 11th week of pregnancy, I have gained 5 pounds and looking at my body, I find it quite obvious that I am pregnant. My belly has slightly popped and my breasts are huge. […]

… your arms cramp playing Guitar Hero!
Yesterday was my 26th birthday. I absolutely love my birthday and I get excited months in advance, thinking of what I want to do and how I want to celebrate. This year was no different; however, as the date neared, I grew more and more convinced that […]
