My pregnancy so far...

My pregnancy has been pretty good, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who skipped out on the morning sickness, odd cravings AND emotional up and downs.

My sense of smell is super hero status!! I can smell everything...Like fresh melted butter on a grill tortilla half a block away. Or passing by a bakery in a car and smelling sugary bread rolls through the air. Or the rotten smell of death and blood from raw chicken or stinky toilets blehhhh

My hair has been growing back faster due to the vitamins. I have to shave my legs more often, well, I should but don't. I'm way too lazy to put the effort.

I've stopped wearing my jeans because they're sooo uncomfortable. I'm wearing maternity jeans (which seem a little loose on the hips and I can't wear a belt) and yoga pants!!

Some of my dreams have been pretty vivid. Last night I dreamed two huge dogs broke into our backyard and were watching me with their yellow eyes in the dark. They were almost the size of horses.

This week, baby has grown to the size of a lime! Last week baby was lima bean sized. Two more weeks and I'll be out of our first trimester...then I will be comfortable to tell everyone...Hopefully I'll start to show more :D

On Monday I'll have another ultrasound outside of my doctors office. I also took a blood test this Monday. Next time I see my doctor shes going to take the results of both and compare them. She'll be looking for down syndrome and some other spinal issues/complications...

That's all I've got for now!

My first 'Congratulations' card awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Thanks Tia Elida!
I also had a dream today, that I was giving plus one a bath and she looked like Steph when she was a baby, Asian. lol.

So I have a pregnancy test story, lol.

I had talked to my friend Danielle about how I missed my period, and
may be expecting. She suggested I take a test, duh.

So I went to Long's, stared at all the options....including a DNA
paternity test kit. $20 for a preg test kit with 2 testing sticks...I
have a extra stick if any of my friends need one. $10, open box
discount, heyyyy.

I took the test over to James's place and spent the night... I woke up
at 5am excited and nervous. One line appeared on the test right away
but not the second line. I was a little bummed because I thought the
results were instant, I decided to wait the five mins like the
directions on the box :)

Time passes by and the second line shows up! :)) I wake up James and
show him. He's confused, he asks what does it say. I tell him I'm
"plus one" that we are pregnant :):)

We came up with a nickname of "+1" because I don't know what to call
the baby yet and it sounds cute
" +1 and I would like a Ginger ale plz"
" how's +1 doing"
Hahahahaha

pea in my pod

Today James took me shopping for my first maternity clothes! I wanted to try on Nicole Richie's new line, but every time I was in front of her stuff the sales girl kept talking to me and distracting me, lol. jerk

She gave me a fitting room with a fake baby 'bump' I could try on under the clothes to see how I'll look in 3-4 months. My fake baby bump looked lumpy. The sales girl Dawn was really helpful, and the store was pretty empty so I got all of her attention. She also made me feel better about the baby book I bought, the book thats been freaking me out over things that 'may or can' go wrong. so whatevertoyoustinkybook

But I am super happy, I cant wait to start showing more....cuz right now I just look bloated and I have to unbutton my pants when I sit down for too long
incase you'd like to buy me clothes, Im a size small. HAHA

Yesterday we had our first ultrasound! Kinda coooool and exciting because this is the moment its "real". Some of us got a little teary eyed, but no one cried. We saw the baby kick and move around some. 12 more weeks and we'll be able to find out the sex. Plus one is younger than the Dr thought, so our due date is pushed back til 3/14.

This is our baby blog! I'll try to keep this blog as entertaining as possible so that you have sometime to read when you are bored outta your mind at work... cuz I'm thoughtful like that.

So first off, we suspected I was pregnant and took a test to confirm on 7/19. We made a doctor appointment ant our due date is March 8 2010.

Our doctors name is Carol, she reminds me of Mrs. Huxtable from the Cosby show. She asked me where I heard of her office, I told her yelp.com... I think she was a little offended. When we first learned of our special news, I was nervous only because I had a couple of oysters, some ceviche, froyo, coffee and some other stuff I shouldnt have eaten while pregnant. I told her about the foods and she kind of blew it off... she says eating those types of foods are fine as long as its not done in excess.

I also had a blood test, that sucked. The nurse's name was Cindy. She looked like she still lived in the 80's, feathered hair bright neon pink lipstick crazy. She calmed me down and took 7 viles of blood :( not fun. I left and she came running after me, she FORGOT a test. nice.
