Today I took Liz to another weekly appointment. It was pretty short and sweet. She supposedly lost a pound, but I think we’ll just call it a no gain situation. Surprisingly enough, the doctor told Liz she should start watching what she eats. Not because she’s gained too much weight but because she wants to [...]
It’s official… I’m starting to get very uncomfortable. I consider myself lucky that it took this long for the discomforts of pregnancy to set in. I understand why some women can’t wait for their baby to be born. I’m not quite there yet, but I’m starting to see it.
