Not a fun day for me. Lots of driving, lots of curves, lots of vomit and one anxiety attack. On the way to our first stop of the day, without even leaving Dublin, I got sick and was awarded the coveted shotgun seat in the car. After a nauseating drive (nothing to do with the […]

Gleann Dá Loch & Príosún Chill Mhaighneann
First of all, it is amazing I was able to get up at all today. I am so sore from all the walking that was done yesterday! Carrying a baby really changes how much walking you can do on a single day and how much stamina you have to do it! And what were our […]
Baile Athá Cliath
Today it rained. All day. Not a torrential deluge but a consistent drizzle of sorts. However, we weren’t going to let a little water ruin our day so Aaron took us around the City Centre in Baile Athá Cliath (aka Dublin), arriving via the DART. City Centre is the downtown district. Lots of shops, pubs and […]
Cluain Mhic Nóis
Today we visited Clonmacnoise (Cluain Mhic Nóis), in County Offaly, an ancient monastery founded in 545 AD next to the Shannon River. It was an early site for spreading Christianity throughout Ireland. Several buildings still remain in ruin, including a bell tower. Additional there are several cemeteries dating back for several centuries and as recent […]
Cill Iníon Léinín
Sunday in Ireland is nothing like Sunday in the States. For one thing, Ireland is a very religious country, unlike how the States have become. Noah and I got up at a normal time, 8:30am, but to Irish standards, that’s early. We had plans to go to the nearby grocery store and grab some breakfast […]
Céad Mile Fáilte!
A hundred thousand welcomes to Ireland!!! What happened to Christmas? It doesn’t seem like much of a holiday celebration when you spend the entire day in airports and aboard airplanes traveling across many different time zones. Due to said time zones, we arrived in Dublin this morning after what seems like 24-hours of traveling. We […]
24 Week Update
Today I had my last appointment with my current doctor. I’m going to miss her, and hopefully like whatever new physician I end up with just as much. Although the doctor said she will miss not having me as a patient she did mention that it might work out better for me as they had […]
The Verdict
Now that the initial emotion of the situation has passed, I can calmly write that I heard back from the new insurance company regarding the waiver I submitted. It was declined completely on the grounds that I will not be 28 weeks on January 1st. As far as the “high risk” and placenta previa, I […]
Now that the cat is out of the bag…
A little over a week ago I found out my work was changing health insurance carriers on January 1st. However, despite my knowledge of this change, I was sworn to secrecy as it was not announced to the staff until yesterday. Regardless, this impending change undoubtedly created a very large headache for me as, with […]
Over the long weekend…
Wednesday I had my 20 week check-up. Logan is growing right along schedule and the doctor isn’t concerned at this point about the location of the placenta. I will go in for another ultrasound at 28 weeks to check on it’s “true location” as the doctor put it, but this also means more pictures. 🙂 […]
