Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Monday, June 21, 2010. I am now 14.5 weeks pregnant! That means I'm now in the second trimester - woot! The Lord has blessed me with a "normal" pregnancy this time - hallelujah! Wow, it really DOES happen for some people! The spinal cord looked great (no evidence of spina bifida or other spinal cord defect)! My risk for a Trisomy was lowered from 1:1400 (based on my age) to less than 10,000 as well....

Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Friday, June 10, 2011. Why I Chose: To Work. So, to kick off this series, I thought I'd start with an issue that was put on center stage for me recently: Why I Chose to Work. In so doing, I am going to focus on the positives (because I'm like that). In no particular order.). He begged me daily to take him to school. He LOVES the structure, activities and friends at school. Bennett stayed at hom...5 - I...

Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Friday, August 19, 2011. So, that didn't work out. But, it planted seeds in my head. For one, I found out first hand exactly. Underpaid I was for the work I did. Second, it made me realize that I had become kind of lackidaisical and passive about my career. Which, suited me just fine. About a month later, boss man comes back to me and discusses the situation with me some more. At this time, he tell...

Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Saturday, May 29, 2010. That's 1/4 of the way through! Still feels pretty early in the process though. The baby is approximately the size of a prune now. As you can see (excuse the weird look on my face and disheveled hair), I'm getting quite big already! By the end of the day, I'm even bigger. Thursday, May 20, 2010. I've been working on my waistline alright. Expanding it, that is. So you may or may n...

Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Monday, December 13, 2010. I can't help but whine. As of yesterday, I am 38 weeks pregnant. I know I shouldn't complain since I have 2 weeks until my due date. But darnit, I'm going to complain anyway. I'm just READY to have this baby. I keep throwing up. I think my tail bone is dislocated, as I have an annoying "clicking" with every step. My back hurts. A lot. They stop. Damnit! I was told at the begi...

Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Friday, August 19, 2011. Once again, I allow over two months to lapse in between posts. After I promised I would never do such a thing ever again. Tsk tsk. But surely, if you allow me to explain the reason for my absence, you will understand. You see, in the last two months, I have made two VERY big changes. First, I left the firm I had worked at for the past six years! Second, we moved! Summer has whi...

Elle's Guide to Life. Tales from the trenches of working mommyhood - figuring it out one day at a time! Sunday, July 25, 2010. We're trucking right along in the gestational department! I am 18 weeks pregnant today. The baby is now approximately 5.5 inches long and weighs about 1/2 a lb - about the size of a sweet potato! The 1/2 lb baby doesn't quite account for the 10 lbs I've gained thus far though! This week upcoming is pretty exciting! After that appointment, I am heading to a consultation with a mid...
