Jen's Weekly Updates

I've been sending out weekly updates about my pregnancy, doctor's visits, and various symptoms or paranoias that I've been experiencing. There is a good bit just about my life, though I generally make at least a slight effort to tie it into the Baby Update theme. You can read these updates here, or you can email me and I'll add you to my weekly mailing list!

I've gone through and organized them all so that they have consistent naming schemes for the sections. However, not all updates have all sections, so sometimes the links in the table of contents don't go anywhere. I've noted interesting milestones for some of the updates, but that doesn't mean that the other updates aren't worth reading!
