Mommy In Training: October 2011
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Alice initially started giggling a few weeks ago but it was few and far between and only little half-laughs. We are now in the full on belly laugh stage and Oh My God it is so cute! Her favorite thing to laugh at is our dog Karma. She gets such a kick out of her. Nice to see that someone finds Karma's incessant barking amusing and not annoying. Check this out:. Monday, October 10, 2011. The first 4 months - a catch-all.

Mommy In Training: Flashback: 6 weeks, 3 days
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2012/12/flashback-6-weeks-3-days.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Friday, December 14, 2012. Flashback: 6 weeks, 3 days. I'm still trying to get the time/energy to write my 13 week blog post. Looking like it will happen this weekend since this CT school shooting has me numb. Meanwhile, flash back to week 6 below. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Also, I thought this would be an easy forum to use to keep up with Alice throughout this pregnancy as well, so I am adding an Alice Anecdote. June 13-17ish, 2013. Way more nau...

Mommy In Training: October 2012
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. I began this post on June 28 when Alice was 13 months old. I am picking it back up today at 16.5 months old and will post my new commentary below the original section that I wrote. Kind of fun to read back on what she was doing a few months ago. I should blog more! June 28, 2012. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a toddler on our hands! To use the cliched line: "How did this happen? When my dad was on his way over this week...

Mommy In Training: February 2011
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Friday, February 25, 2011. Just HOW much is this going to hurt? With all that said however - I do still feel that in the back of my mind I will end up begging for and receiving an epidural. Does that mean that I perceive myself as being a weak person? Maybe a little bit. I just know that I am going to want to do anything to make the pain go away and and an epdiural in many ways will be kind of an easy out - even if it slows my progress.

Mommy In Training: Flashback: 10 weeks, 1 day
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2012/12/flashback-10-weeks-1-day.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Friday, December 21, 2012. Flashback: 10 weeks, 1 day. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. So, obviously I kind of started feeling SUPER sh*tty after my 7 weeks, 2 days post because I didn't find the time to write again until now. In between we had our 8 week OB appt and got good news that the baby was developing right on schedule and everything looked good on the ultrasound. Such a relief! June 17, 2013. I feel worse during the days I'm at work. Proba...

Mommy In Training: July 2012
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Friday, July 6, 2012. I've had issues with anxiety off and on most of my adult life. I am prone to worry and have an insane imagination. Always have. Throw parenting into the mix and you've got a full-fledged freakazoid the second anything seems to be going wrong. It's such a strong feeling of loss of control, this whole parenting thing. Maybe I need to discover a religion to give me peace with a situation that is so unpredicatble? In the long run ...

Mommy In Training: May 2011
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Thursday, May 19, 2011. In actuality I am feeling fine (considering), my blood pressure is low, baby's heartbeat is strong, she is content and moving around consistently, and obviously she is just not quite ready to come out yet. And it's only 1 day past my due date - not unusual people! Especially for a first-time mom. So we try to relax and wait. We've been waiting 281 days so far, so what's a few more at this point, right? Thursday, May 5, 2011.

Mommy In Training: Here we go again!
http://akd829.blogspot.com/2012/12/here-we-go-again.html
My experiences as a new mother to Alice, born 5/24/2011. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Here we go again! Here comes Baby #2, AKA The Final Baby! I am stealing Erin's. Q&A blog format for my pregnancy posts. It is fast, simple, to the point and most importantly makes it infinitely more likely that I will actually keep up with my blogging. Thanks, Erin! Mini Baby at 8 weeks 2 days. When did you find out? These tests also happened to be past their expiration date, which is a HUGE asterisk in my opinion. This w...
