in a good time
Though I have links in my sidebar to most of the blogs that I follow, there are a few others I read that are not included there (for a variety of reasons). One of these is B'sha'ah Tova (lit. "in a good hour" or more poetically "in the proper time" - the traditional Jewish greeting extended to a pregnant woman or her family members upon hearing the news of her pregnancy). It is written by "Anonymommy," an anonymous Modern Orthodox (I think?) woman in the Chicago area; she started it back in December of 2004, sadly experienced a miscarriage shortly thereafter, and began posting again this past spring during her second pregnancy (now in its third trimester).
Anonymommy seems to have hit a few emotional and medical bumps in the road in the past couple of weeks: job stress, higher than recommended weight gain, and some strain in her relationship with AnonAbba. If any of you have any words of advice for her, I'm sure she'd appreciate it.
