For those who’ve never experienced pregnancy, this may sound weird and may look pretty freaky, but I’m actually going to miss it…

Week 39.6: Bollito Atrincherado »
Hello bolliti,
Lots have happened since my last update…
Over the last two times we’ve been to the doctor, she’s confirmed that you have dropped really low and your head is pressing down on my cervix like such a tight cork, she’s having a hard time assessing how much I have dilated.
You keep growing so much, that […]
Week 38: Activo Pillito »
Hey there, little Puffeth…
So you missed your chance to be born a Scorpio, and you gave researchers one more statistical point to prove that the cycles of the moon don’t affect the onset of labor.
This week you’ve been extremely active. More so than before…
I’m seeing a lot of pointy waves cruising my belly at different […]
Week 37: Baked »
Sweet little bollo,
You’re all baked now.
We’re ready for you. Please come out.
You know you want it…
That crazy voice you hear every day, the one that chases and teases your little butt whenever you shake it in my belly… that’s daddy. We can tell you’re intrigued by him. He’s a lot of fun. Every child that […]
Lo que será, será »
Just read this and what prefaced it, and all these thoughts I haven’t wanted to think too much about have suddenly started running wild — unstructured, un–figured–out still…
I’m a home–based freelancer working almost exclusively for one (very good) client these days. I have all the freedom I need. I’ve had the most relaxed pregnancy anybody […]
Sweet Genes »
This morning, over IM:
Me: Mom saw alfajores with expiration date nov 28 (the day she gets here). She asked me if she should get them?
Joey: So we have to eat them all when she arrives
Me: She reminds me that last Christmas, the chocolate house was kind of stale, and you ate it with passion…
Joey: True-true
Me: […]
The Guilt Begins… »
Last Saturday we bought a crib for Bolliti, and the excitement of the event kicked off in high gear all kinds of ambitious decoration plans for the nursery.
Since baby bedding appears to cost almost as much as a crib, and because I love sewing and have big plans of a contemporary decor and specific color […]
Bollito or Bollita? »
Our family and friends know it now. It was impossible to keep the suspense too long before we started receiving calls from our moms, dads, and sisters. They all wanted to know: Is it a boy or girl?…
Well, and I don’t blame them. Joey and I were so ready to know!… Up until now I […]
The Heartbeat »
When the little peanut growing inside your womb doesn’t have much material presence, you take what you can get…
I had a checkup with my doctor this afternoon. All good, all great. Time came to check on the baby’s heartbeat. I have not written about this, so I need to explain that few things compare to […]
Trying is So Overrated »
When Marla said that trying for a baby was overrated, I got it, but couldn’t imagine how true it really is. Trying to get pregnant? Really: Not fun at all.
I know… We’ve only tried seriously for a couple of months. We have no reason (correct: almost no reason) to believe that we can’t conceive. Yet, […]
Bolliti Panfriti »
I always have a little bit of a hard time when guests leave my home after a few days visit. No, I’m no Santa Martha Stewart to host friends and relatives with the luxury and exquisite thoughtfulness of the best Bed & Breakfast in town. Yet, the loneliness left once they leave is always there… […]
Baby Talk »
—You know? I don’t think I’m pregnant, but I should not be having any alcohol or sushi any more… I mean: WHAT IF I was pregnant, and I just had a beer last night?
—Ok… But you said that you don’ think…
—I know… But I should be getting my period tomorrow and I still haven’t […]
