Cravings Pt.1
We are still pretty early in the pregnancy, so I just assume that there will be more posts about cravings. At 17 weeks, I can’t day that I’ve had very significant or bizarre cravings. I do get in the mood for things but generally get out of the mood after I’ve had a bite or…

Fall Back
Yay for the time change! The one day out of the year where we get an extra hour of sleep. It’s kind of a bummer that it comes so late now, but I’m still glad we do it. Now I just have to remember to change all the clocks 🙂

Organized
I love having things organized. Cleaning or getting things organized is one of my main strategies for combatting stress. Whenever I feel overwhelmed I make a list of all the stuff floating around in my brain. Whenever I feel like things are out of control or I am just not able to concentrate, I clean…

Getting Married
I just figured out that my brides maids are both getting married within 3 months of each other. I’ve now had occasion to chat with both of them about their wedding plans and how things are going. Wedding planning is very hectic and stressful, but still a lot of fun. Choosing the details and deciding…

Cooking Shows

Halloween Leftovers
I don’t really like Halloween. I only celebrated a little as a kid. Dressed up for school here and there, but I wasn’t into the scary stuff so I mostly opted out. The only part of the holiday I kept was the candy. Christopher also dislikes Halloween, you know how most people dislike a holiday…

“Morning” Sickness
All-the-time sickness is more like it, as any pregnant woman will tell you, except maybe those that don’t have it, but it is just easier for me to believe that everyone suffers like me. My morning sickness experience consists of mostly constant nausea, punctuated by bouts of indigestion. Oh and my gag reflex is more…

First Dr.’s Appt.
I had my first Dr.’s appt, which was pretty uneventful. I was examined by the doctor and filled out a million forms. Then they sent me to have blood drawn, something that is typically no biggie for me. Well, “pregnant me” definately has issues with blood draw. Christopher stepped out to go to the bathroom,…

Danger!
Well, I’ve had 2 run-ins on the don’t list already: 1. I accidentally touched cat poo in the garden. (Cat poo can harbor a very dangerous organism for pregnant people that causes toxplasmosis.) I just brushed it lightly while touching one of the plants, but I freaked out and came inside to scrub my hands…
