19 weeks…and 2 days

At 19 weeks, Baby is 6 inches long and a full half pound in weight – about the size of a large mango. A mango dipped in greasy cheese, actually. While not a very pleasant image, it does serve a very important purpose. Vernix caseosa, a greasy white protective substance (that resembles cheese), now covers Baby’s [...]

momma’s boy

While Maddox and I were sleeping last night, Matt took this adorable photo. I just had to share: This boy loves his momma so much…and oh, how I love this boy.          <jenna>

houston, we have movement

I felt Baby move today!! For weeks, I’ve been acutely aware of every little nuance taking place inside my body and wondering if any of them were my Baby saying “hello” to me for the first time. Since I clearly had no idea what to expect, I asked a bunch of people I know to complete [...]

matt’s perfect birthday

Sure I’m speaking for Matt, but I think he’d agree that yesterday was his best birthday ever. He took the day off work and spent it getting his grapes ready for this year’s wine production. I’m pretty sure he was in Heaven. He purchased both Dolcetto and Tempranillo grapes this year and they arrived from [...]

happy halloween!

The Golz household is offically ready for Halloween! I thought I’d share some pictures of our decor…           I know what you’re thinking, and no…the skulls and arms are not real. Relax. <jenna>

issaquah swedish medical center

This morning, Matt and I went to an Open House for the Swedish Medical Center whose childbirth facilities are opening on November 1st. The hospital is located about 10 minutes from our house, which makes it incredibly convenient. We also like that it is brand-spanking-new. Best of all, my doctor recently informed us that she received [...]

18 weeks | my little sweet potato

Disclaimer: I am posting this photo out of loyatly to routine, knowing full well that the resolution is crap (taken from phone instead of camera), the lighting is horrible, my face looks fatter that it is in real life, and I appear to have gained 20+ pounds (versus the 5 I’ve actually gained)… Even though I [...]

working for the (new) man

I started a new job today! I am still working in staffing at Microsoft, but instead of supporting Server & Tools, I will now be working with Online Services. And instead of owning external recruitment, I will be managing internal recruitment. The Online Services Division is responsible for Bing and MSN, as well as many other cool [...]

ruff-housing

Like always, Kasey and Maddox had the pleasure of visiting Doggie Camp while Matt and I were in Omaha last weekend. As I’ve probably stated before, I love that we have a place like All My Pet Friends that we trust to watch our “kiddos” while we are away – and even better, the two [...]

and now we shop

While in Omaha last week, I took advantage of my female-majority household and went on my first maternity shopping excursion. I honestly still fit into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes, but I wasn’t sure how much longer that would last and I definitely didn’t want to do the shopping alone. I had been looking forward [...]
