you have my heart!

6 weeks, 5 days along today. Had a very successful OB appointment. Our little peanut is doing very well. We saw the heartbeat today and it was magical! We go back in 3 weeks for another appointment and we will actually get to hear it this time around. The doctor said that when we come back, our peanut will look like an actual baby, limbs and all. We sat down to talk to the doctor about do's and don't. A lot of things are off limits like antibiotics, dental work, xrays, surgeries etc. Obviously! He said i can have seafood and all assortment of cheeses and deli meats. He said i can basically eat whatever i want, and that if i am craving it, its for good reason. He told Arthur to prepare. He said i will crave things i used to hate and hate things i used to love. He said not to worry about my upcoming craziness. He said ill be irrational and hormonal and to just deal with it.. hehe.. he encouraged me to drink a cup of coffee a day as its good for blood pressure and said i can have chocolate which is very healthy for myself and the baby. He said i have to drink A LOT and stay hydrated. he said that my body already has 50% more blood even this early in the pregnancy because of the baby's needs! it truly amazes me what a womans body is capable of. I have a good, healthy, normal pregnancy that is progressing as it should. I cannot wait to see my peanut in 3 weeks!

What's in a name?

I  think choosing a name for our baby may be even more difficult than getting pregnant was... I am totally set on a girls name. I've been set on a girls name for years now. My husband however, is a tough man to please and so what i like and what sounds good to me, horrifies him. For a girl I'd like  Maya Rose.... the sincere significance should override every doubt he has. For a boy, i like Noah, Benjamin, Elliott, Ariel. But he wont have any of it... His choice for a boy? EDGAR! are you effing kidding me? no son of mine will be named Edgar!

Good thing we have some time to decide on a name because this is a toughy. I am sure it'll be easier once we know the sex of the baby.. (which by the way, i cannot wait for!!!)


gosh golly this is difficult....

why hello there, little peanut!

So my OB appointment is this Thursday... Hubby is coming with and we are hoping to see our little peanuts heartbeat for the very first time.. I will be honest, i am terrified and nervous. I know the doctor told me everything is looking perfect and healthy and normal as of last week and just to be sure (and to fill my pee on a stick void, as i did that EVERY DAY for months!) i took another pregnancy test today, yep, still pregnant! heh. i guess i wont rest until Thursday! it seems so darn far away. I wish they had at home ultra sound machines that didnt cost an arm and a leg and that way i can see my little peanut everyday whenever i want! I am still very very hopeful despite feeling nervous and scared because im still eating like a piggy, and my boobs hurt more than anything (Amen for nursing bras!) i am actually disappointed a little bit that i have no morning sickness. maybe ill be one of the lucky ones to go a full 9 months without it? i guess we'll see...

Can't it be thursday already? SHEEESH! Earth, rotate quicker!

Maternity wear, here i come

It is still super early in my pregnancy to even consider maternity clothes right? WRONG! my pre-existing muffin top along with the little peanut growing inside of me is making my jeans fit a little snug. So off to maternity motherhood i went... I must say, it was a productive shopping trip and i cannot wait to go back there once i really start showing! I bought two nursing/maternity bras because my breasts have been in pain for the past week, to the point of excruciating!!!! a few pairs of pants, you know, just in case and the greatest investment ever? A BOPPY!!!  The total body pillow is AMAZING!! since i am not really supposed to sleep on my back and trying to retrain myself to not sleep on my belly is hard, this is just heaven. No more back ache for this mama! Pft, i even recommend it to those who are not pregnant! its just awesome sauce!

Anywho, a few more months and i am going to head back there and pick up all the cutesy stuff.. the dresses and pants and cute little shirts! AHH!!! i may like this pregnancy thing a little too much! hehe...

baby bump for the win!!

Did i mention...

It is still super early in the Pregnancy, but i definitely need maternity wear! i had a muffin top to begin with now with the expansion of my uterus, clothes are a little more snug! i am definitely not complaining, i am totally looking forward to maternity wear!! did i mention i want to snooze? ALL DAY! i wake up at 9 am, and at 11 am i can barely keep my eyes open! Oh and the hunger and cravings have begun super early! Granny Smith apples and chocolate icing! NOM NOM NOM! or croissants with fontina cheese! these next months are gonna be awesome! i wont fit through a door afterwards, but they will be awesome!

We're Pregnant...

I DEFEATED PCOS!!!

MARCH 13th, 2011, best day of my life... Today i found out i was pregnant!

After being diagnosed in November of 2009,  I thought the world came crashing down! After so many months of failed (and not to mention EXPENSIVE) fertility treatments, fertility monitors, ovulation predictor kits, hormones, pills, and lost hope, we are finally expecting our first little miracle that is due around November 19th, 2011. Doctor says I have a normal, healthy pregnancy! (knock on wood) and I cannot wait to see my baby!


Today, March 25th, 2011 i am at 5 weeks, 6 days... tomorrow is 6 weeks already and the following week we have an appointment to hear our little bean's heart beat and see him once again. (we're totally convinced we are having a boy!)

4 weeks... that tiny little dot by my finger nail is my little baby!

5 weeks 2 days, the little black circle is my baby!

My husband as a baby.. i hope our baby will be just as cute!!

a girl made this for me for my forum signature! its pretty!
