Pregnancy Books! Help!

As I came home today I saw that Amazon had quickly shipped a recent purchase and I always get so excited about this! I almost forget what I order from week to week. Upon opening I said “ohhhh yeaaaa….another pregancy book FOR DARREN”. How kind of me. I considered the thought that I might be terrified that Darren has NO clue what he is in store for. And, well, that’s probably true. But then I had a lightbulb moment….I don’t either!!!! How could i’ve neglected my own understanding and education on what’s going on? I rely on the internet too much for information. It’s how I’ve gotten by thus far, but the information gets jumbled. I need one or two GREAT books that are hilarious while being honest and educational. If anyone reads this and has an opinion…please comment below or email me at ardonhouse@gmail.com!

Here I am ….9 weeks!!!! I’ll take these all early in the morning so everyone can see how big the belly is WITHOUT food 😉   I probably won’t sport these amazingly awesome Christmas jammie pants in every photo. They’re already getting … Continue reading →

How far along – 9 weeks

////

Total weight gain- 2 lbs

////

Maternity clothes?- Not yet. Although I feel like in the next few weeks I’ll be considering just stretch pants. My regular jeans fit everywhere except for my belly….guess I’ll have to start using those silly bellybands everyone claims do the trick.

////

Stretch marks?- No! Thank goodness. I bought Mustela cream and Bio Oil. I use both every night and after every shower! Fingers crossed! Stay strong skin!

////

Sleep?- Some nights I still stay up late. I am such a night owl! I get this from my mother 100%. But I feel like I get up at 5am every morning to take the longest pee mankind has ever known. I’m told this gets worse. LOVELY.

////

Best moment this week?- Finally going number two. Seriously! Out. Of. Control.

////

Miss anything?-  WINE!!!!!!!! omg. Normal bodily functions. My body has complete control over when I should and should not use the bathroom. Other than that..I’m eating like a cow. It’s insanity.

////

Movement?- Nope. I’m not supposed to feel a baby for another few months. So if I feel anything, it’s um…somethin’ else.

////

Food cravings?- ORANGES! Apples and peanut butter.

////

Food aversions?- Sadly…my daily salads. I want to barf every time a healthy green leaf touches my lips. This baby is on a mission to destroy my eating habits.

////

Gender- Not yet known. I feel like it’s a boy, though. Everyone except our friend Jessie say its a girl. Even my mom! Mom’s are so good at this. BUT- I totally feel it’s a boy. So far.

////

Symptoms- Sore boobies, Cranky then happy, Nausea like crazy (now controlled by zofran)

////

Wedding rings on or off? ON. I hope my fingers don’t get swollen for awhile…cause that means other things will be swollen, too.

////

Looking forward to- February 19th! Second ultrasound. Can’t wait to see how the little nugget is cookin’ 😉

Every week Darren posts a new message for me on the fridge. This week it was this. Being the hormonal freak I am right now you can imagine how absurdly elated I became over such a simple gesture. I cried. … Continue reading →

Well that first photo was cool and all, but it seems I was somewhat blocking the full on belly shot. This one is with a more “spirited” finger pose. FIRST MONTH YEA!
