Bed rest blues…week four
I’m still pregnant, hooray! Amniotic fluid levels according to this week’s ultrasound is in the high-normal range. No signs of infection. I’m IV free, I have “outside privileges” (a.k.a. I can go into the “yard.”) Baby is approximately 2.2 lbs and I am 27 weeks.

Bed rest blues, week one
As many of you know, my husband and I are expecting a bouncing baby boy in early January. Or, at least that was the plan.
On September 13th at 23 weeks pregnant, my water broke. Not a full break. It is more accurate to say that I’m leaking amniotic fluid. The diagnostic term is Preterm Premature [...] -

Sears: Get real
Dear Sears, thank you for the housekeeping tip I received in your latest e-newsletter, Manage My Life, suggesting I spend time lubricating my treadmill’s running deck. That’s very important. Not.
If I wanted to lubricate something, I’d probably opt to lubricate something more pressing than my treadmill’s unused running deck.Sears’ Manage Your Life newsletter [...]
