39 weeks..

by Marissa Sweazy on February 1, 2012

Well, here I am 39 weeks pregnant and more ready than ever for this baby to come. Austin is feverishly working on the house to get the basement and new kitchen pantry finished and I’m spending most of my time googling “natural ways of inducing labor”. I know, I know. When the baby is ready it will come – but I’m ready now.

So give’em to me – what are you tips for inducing labor??

Sit here and do nothing…

by Marissa Sweazy on January 14, 2012

This is not something I do well…nothing. On Tuesday, I’ll be 37 weeks pregnant – relax, sit on the couch, these are the things people tell me I should do. It’s just SO hard for me.

As I sit on the couch watching the Patriots kill Denver (yay!) I can’t help but think that Austin is working a photo booth and I should be doing something here – I have taxes to reconcile, freezer crockpot meals to make, things can always be cleaned but unfortunately, the baby has dropped and virtually onto my sciatica making it nearly impossible to walk. So sitting on the heating pad on the couch is about the most I can do and it’s killing me!

I know people say that once the baby comes none of this will matter because all I’ll want to do is sleep when I have “free” time because I’ll be so exhausted. We’ll see about that.

33 weeks and counting…

December 19, 2011

I can’t believe I’ve been pregnant for 33 weeks! Roughly 7 more weeks to go but I’m convinced this little bambino is coming early. Although I hope not, because we still have a lot to accomplish! I thought I would inform any other ladies out there who are thinking of getting pregnant or maybe are [...]

Surprise Pumpkin Treats for Halloween!

October 24, 2011

I was clipping coupons recently (yes, when I have free time I clip coupons..it’s the thrill for me, who doesn’t love free stuff!) and I came across a coupon for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies and a recipe for Surprise Pumpkins treats. I’m not much of a chef but I’ve always enjoyed trying anyway and how hard [...]

It’s time to make this blog official…I’m having a baby!

October 12, 2011

I haven’t had a chance to even write and tell everyone that Austin and I are expecting! The little bundle of joy will join us in early February. It’s been quite a ride thus far, relatively calm and easy but geesh am I tired! Nothing to exciting to report other than I’m currently trying to [...]

Review – Healthy Habits Kitchen

September 29, 2011

I had the opportunity to attend a great event at Healthy Habits Kitchen in Wellesley. This is a “meal assembly” shop and it is awesome. You have two options – you can assemble the meals using their ingredients and kitchen tools or you can just purchase meals and put them right in your freezer! How [...]

Twitter. Followers/Following?

September 16, 2011

There is often much discussion about following more people on Twitter than are following you or simply following a lot of people. I’ve always heard many people say “oh, you don’t want to follow everyone that follows you.” This I agree with. However, in my current situation, I follow about 200 less people than follow [...]

Do you utilize Yelp?

August 24, 2011

I love Yelp! I’m on my way to becoming an “elite Yelper” – this is a person who writes a ton of well-read reviews and is an active member of the community. I just find the site so helpful. Essentially it is word-of-mouth referrals but from people you don’t know. I probably use the site [...]
