June 26: Trying to detour Worry City

So the entire time Iโ€™ve been pregnant, people have been commenting on how โ€œchillโ€ Iโ€™ve been about the whole thing. Iโ€™ve been eating what Iโ€™ve been craving, rolling with the morning sickness and fatigue (which is starting to go away!), stopped reading baby books and websites 24/7 and am trying to relax a little more.โ€ฆ

Preg Fashion

Iโ€™ve been having a bit of a fashion dilemma lately. My bump looks more like I ate a foot-long (on NON gluten-free bread haha) and maybe a few donuts. People may wonder if there might be a baby in there, but it definitely isnโ€™t to the point where itโ€™s obvious. In this in betweener limboโ€ฆ

June 20: Nausea tips

I have a love-hate relationship with morning sickness. I love it because it makes me feel like something is actually happening, but on the other hand, itโ€™s not exactly fun to feel like youโ€™re going to lose your lunch at any second of the day. Iโ€™ve only actually gotten sick a handful of times andโ€ฆ

June 16: A weird amazing dream

I have a lot of crazy dreams, but usually have the most bizarre ones over the full moon. The past week, it was a full, gorgeous moon and I had my first baby-related dream. I was sleeping in a room somewhere that looked like a hospital, but not quite. It had the same sanitary florescentโ€ฆ

June 12: Belly Rubs

Iโ€™ve definitely been warned about other people touching my belly, since the word is out that weโ€™re expecting a little one. The thing is, I kind of love it. Like really love it. Maybe itโ€™s because the only people to touch my stomach so far have been close family and friends (not randoms at theโ€ฆ

The Birth Team

I think it goes without saying that by far the scariest part of pregnancy is the birth itself. When youโ€™ve never experienced it and always hear horror stories from other people, itโ€™s easy to let the fear overcome you. When we first decided we wanted to start trying last spring, the Pilot was deployed aโ€ฆ

Letโ€™s talk about stretch cream

I canโ€™t believe I still havenโ€™t written about how I told my mom about the little nugget, since it really is an interesting/random story. It was about 4 days after I found out and the Pilot and I decided it would be a good idea to tell the madre since she was here, he wasโ€ฆ

June 3: The sweetest sound

Today I finally had my ultrasound! I was a WRECK leading up to it because I was so anxious to find out if everything was ok. 9 weeks is a long time to wonder, ya know? I texted Sabrina and Beth each about 20 times and they were so lovely and encouraging- I needed it,โ€ฆ

May 20: Success and fail

Hi friends! Long time, no update over here. There really hasnโ€™t been too much to report, besides the usual things and trying to hide the fact that all I want is eggs and toast on the blog, but today I had my first prenatal appointment. It was both a success and a fail. I hadโ€ฆ
