One of the main goals of ”Little Jack’s Corner” is to provide an online place for friends and family members (especially those who live out of state) to keep up with Little Jack, our first child, as he grows up.  However, I’ve had such fun with creating posts and participating in bloggy contests that this has become [...]

Figuring out how many months pregnant you are is a daunting task for many women!    That’s why it’s sometimes much easier to just stick with how many weeks you are instead.  Something doesn’t seem quite right when you superficially think about connecting pregnancy weeks with months.  Afterall, if there are 4 weeks in a month and [...]

THE REST OF THE PREGNANCY
THE THIRD TRIMESTER
February, 2008 - 7th Month
During this month, my primary concern was with controlling my sugar intake.  Being classified as a diabetic scared me to pieces!  It was also at the end of this month (my 29th week) that the doctor’s office discovered that they had missed my anatamy scan [...]

THE REST OF THE PREGNANCY
THE SECOND TRIMESTER 
November, 2007 - 4th Month
My 3rd appointment was on November 1st.  I was 13 weeks pregnant and was scheduled for an ultrasound.  Although Kevin wanted to be there when we learned the sex, he couldn’t get off of work for this appointment.  He assured me that he wanted to [...]

THE REST OF THE PREGNANCY
THE FIRST TRIMESTER
August, 2007 - 1st Month
Baby conceived in the beginning of August.  We learned about the pregnancy on August 28.  I took 3 pregnancy tests just to prove to myself that I was actually pregnant. 
Symptoms?  None!  I felt no nausea, no soreness, nothing.  I did however have a gut feeling that I was pregnant [...]

It’s hard to believe that this journey is almost up for me!  With less than 27 days to go before the official due date, I thought I’d go ahead and start wrapping up the “pregnancy” part of this blog. 
For those who are reading this blog for the first time (or maybe just forgot), let me [...]

As many of you know, I was laid off from my job of 4 years back in October when I was 2 months pregnant.  Although we’d always planned on me being a stay-at-home mom, we didn’t count on it happening so early in the pregnancy! 
We don’t use credit cards, so our budget is really tight most [...]

This, folks, is one of the newest additions to our family.
And his name is Wimbley.  Wimbley the Womb Bear, to be exact.
Protector of the Universe.  Comforter of Babies.  Defenders of Moms.
He is capable of many feats.  One of those feats includes the abillity to mimic the sounds that a baby hears while in the mother’s womb.  [...]

My friend Lucy knows us well.
At my baby shower yesterday, she brought a special present just for Kevin so he could have something to open when he came to pick me up! 
He was beyond thrilled and took 5 minutes opening the wrapped gift carefully as not to tear the wrapping.
It was a small Clemson College [...]

Last week, I ran into unexpected complications with the pregnancy.  Up until last Thursday, I’d had a great 9 months with the exception of being classified as a gestational diabetic back in January.
Because of the diabetes diagnosis, I was scheduled for automatic weekly non-stress tests at the hospital and last Thursday was my first trip - and [...]
