This is my little self-improvement experiment. Here I discuss mental health, weight loss, debt elimination, parenthood, pop culture and generally whatever gets me thinking. Be forewarned, we go for brutal honesty here; however, I do play well with others and so should you.
We are proud - no, thrilled - to announce the birth of our daughter Miriam Rose! (Regales of my 44 hours of labor - yes, FORTY FOUR - to come once we’re settled and I’ve had more than 3 hours sleep in any 24-hour period.)
I’m 36 weeks along and huge. And tired. And fighting boredom. Bedrest really loses all its charm and luster after the 2nd day.
I’m on day 14. (more…)
Last Thursday I didn’t post a Dear Miri letter because I was hospitalized due to gestational hypertension. After talk of a possible amniocentesis (evil talk to this needle-phobe!) and maybe inducing, we decided against those procedures in favor of waiting on her lung development to be up to par before we reconsider inducing. I was sent home last night after 6 days in the hospital and put on bedrest.
Miriam is doing just fine - active as ever with a strong little heart and a big baby head - while I am working on keeping my blood pressure down. This involves spending a majority of my time lying on my left side and doing lots of nothing. I think it’ll take a day or two just to recover from that stressful hospital stay (though a shout-out to my lovely nurses Gloria, Shyla, Mary, Jaime and Shelly!) before we know how I’m really doing. I doubt I’ll be writing for a bit, but I do promise at least a weekly update with our condition, hopefully in the form of more Dear Miri letters. Maybe I’ll write them out and have Husband type them… Oh Justin!…
