After the Raeyn: Three Month Thrills
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013/12/three-month-thrills.html
Sunday, December 15, 2013. Raeyn Drop turned three months old yesterday! How the heck did that happen? We celebrated by having our first date night out! My good friend from Canada came to visit us this week, and last night after we put the baby to bed she stayed to watch her while T and I went out to a nice dinner. I am so glad that our first "babysitter" could be someone we know and trust, and someone who is so great with Raeyn Drop! She usually takes a nap in her bouncer about an hour and twenty minute...

After the Raeyn: Mmm, mmm glucose!
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013/07/mmm-mmm-glucose.html
Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Mmm, mmm glucose! Last week I finally finished school and I went in for my 1-hour glucose test before packing up my classroom. The sugary orange drink wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared, and the sugar rush actually made me feel great! Until the big sugar drop later that afternoon, but chocolate fixed that.). No problem. Eating sugary things? I have no equal. Regulating blood sugar? Er, apparently I need to work on that. I didn't anticipate that the personal-trainer friend we're s...

After the Raeyn: The Aftermath
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-aftermath.html
Monday, October 14, 2013. Had forewarned me about what was to come after delivery. However, the email also indicated that an epidural would make me blissfully unaware of it all. Um, nope. Delivering the placenta, the fundal massage, and the stitches all hurt like hell (especially the stitches. thank you teaching hospital), but it was the beautiful baby on my chest - not the epidural - that made it all easily bearable. I must be losing my touch, as I couldn't find it in gif form.). Other than the breastfe...

After the Raeyn: August 2013
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Last week my doctor sent me for an ultrasound because she was mildly concerned that my belly was measuring small. Dr. B seems to think an ultrasound is the answer to everything, and I'm perfectly happy with that as it means I've gotten to see my little one six times so far this pregnancy! So as of Friday, Raeyn Drop was 4.9 lbs and in the 45% percentile. Everything looked great! Here's my outstanding to do list (or at least what I can think of right now):. Figure out baby monitor.

After the Raeyn: December 2012
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. My life: The abridged version. Welcome to my new blog! My husband and I met in 2006 when he came to visit me in Japan after getting to know each other online. We both took a huge leap of faith, and fortunately neither of us turned out to be a serial killer. We traveled around the country together and fell in love. When my contract was over, I moved to Chicago to be with him and pursue my masters degree in teaching. And signed up for FertilityFriend.com. Now we're entering our t...

After the Raeyn: July 2013
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Yesterday I had a meltdown and cried at the lab when I arrived for my 3-hour glucose test. I got my way because of it and I don't feel bad in the least. Cranky pregnant lady: 1. The waiting wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I didn't feel nauseous at all, and the tired/shaky feeling was just as likely due to my lack of sleep as to the sugar. I believe that years of practice consuming entire pies by myself in one sitting prepare d me for this experience. Wednesday, July 3, 2013.

After the Raeyn: February 2013
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 23, 2013. So J reminded me that I haven't updated since my ultrasound. I keep forgetting that some people actually read this thing. Sorry! Fortunately everything is fine. Baby looked healthy and had made the right amount of growth. They couldn't find the source of the bleed but said I have nothing to worry about. My progesterone came back high, so I'm good there too. Phew! Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Through a series of voice mail messages today, the nurse told me Dr. B wants me ...

After the Raeyn: Raeyn had a baby!
http://aftertheraeyn.blogspot.com/2013/10/raeyn-had-baby.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Raeyn had a baby! Okay so I guess this is kind of old news now, but it's been hard to find time for tasks that require two hands. I had a baby! So I went home, ate some dinner, and headed upstairs to watch some TV in bed just after 9 o'clock. About 10 minutes into Burn Notice, I ran for the bathroom. Inquired my dear, sweet husband. It was an awful lot of pee, though. In fact, I was quite proud of myself for not getting any on the bed, given how much I had peed. But th...A qui...
