The Adventure of Mommyhood

This is a companion site to the website I maintain for my son. That one houses pictures and comments on his life and development, and this one will be for my own thoughts and comments on life as a mommy. Being mommy to an infant means I will not post too often, but hopefully it will be enough to let friends and family feel included in our lives even if they are far away. :-)

I am Mommy to two rambunctious little boys. Darrin AKA "Bear" will be 8 in December, and Chase turned 5 in July. I graduated from Pearland High School in 1996, and went to college for a few years, but didn't earn a degree (wasn't really going for one anyway).

Baby name and pregnancy update

So, thought I should give a quick baby update. Today I am 38 weeks along, on the doc's 40 week schedule. Two more weeks until our due date of the 22nd, though, technically, any birth day from 38 to 42 weeks is considered full-term and normal. Maybe he'll wait that long, maybe not. Maybe I'll be allowed to progress naturally into labor, maybe not. With my first pregnancy, I had to be induced. Not fun. Hopefully this time it will just happen as it's supposed to, beginning with my water breaking or with contractions becoming regular. Hopefully. Tomorrow morning is my next doctor visit. Then, unless something happens, I have another week until the next checkup. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

We've chosen a name, did I mention that? My "little buddy," as he has been known, will be named Chase Lucas. Whatcha think? Not that it matters--we've decided for sure! But I wouldn't mind getting input anyway. Of course, Darrin Alexander didn't stick very well with our firstborn, known early on as "Little Bear," as he simply prefers to be called "Bear" now...so all this fuss over a name may seem needless if the new guy decides he's a "Buddy." :-)
