All apologizes

So... Turns out with that last post I was waaayyyyyy off, and I would like to take this time to retract a comment that was made. So... It turns out I AM Pregnant!!!! Only as of February 8th I was unaware even though I had all the signs. Now I'm not super far along, only about 8 weeks, but I was able to get into see my doctor this early, which was a relief to me since they informed me that doctors like to wait until you're 12 weeks, but with mine and my family medical history they wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure everything was OK. It was really neat, and we got to see the heart beat!!!! Next visit we will be able to hear the heart beat :) The baby is due October 25, which is 7 months from my birthday so I'm totally stoked about that! The baby is 6.5cm and I can already tell is super cute and smart :)



Here is out little Nugget!! So I'm not sure how to really make this work, so this is a picture of a picture, I know you computer geeks out there would totally be able to make this much better, but I'm just not one of you, although I do envy you and want to be one, maybe, someday...

Being Pregnant is not all it's cracked up to be. So I started out fine, just a bit more tired than usual, in wondering awe at all the insane changes to my body, then I started my 7th week, where I threw up everything I ate, or even thought about eating. All food tastes like blood and/or vomit. Now I have been trying to be sensitive to those ladies out there who can have babies, and would love to feel this way, but at the end of the day, at this stage anyway, the bads often out weigh the goods. I pee all the time, I'm dizzy (worried about that, doc says it's all good), I cry over everything which I hate, I'm forgetful, and moody... it's like an amped up PMS really, only with all day sickness and actually getting fat rather than just looking bloated for a few days. My boobs are huge, I'm bordering on porn star here. My face broke out, tooth paste makes me hurl, I can't stand tight clothes, or shoes, and those who have known I was pregnant before now always want details. I'm not talking about my visit to the OB/GYN with anyone but my mom and my husband thank you very much!! But I'm still trying to be sensitive to those still trying, so this will be my only rant on the trials of pregnancy, it just feels good to get it out of my system. Anyone who is offended please wait to tell me until after the baby is here about, oh, a year or so since I can't control to water works I'll be sobbing too much to apologize.


Here I am at 6 weeks, and my wonderful, loving husband, who only wanted to play piano and not take a decent picture of his wife, played photog here, hence why I look like I'm lined up to be shot. This was the best picture he took. Good thing I've got many more week for him to practice. But like I said I only look slightly bloated. All my clothes fit, and I've found some cool things like bra extenders, and belly bands which are to help keep me in my "normal" clothes longer so I don't have to buy maternity clothes as early.
I am super excited to be a mommy, and I know that Scotty is going to be the best daddy ever.
He has been so excited since he found out, and has worked hard to make me feel better and comfortable. On the plus side when I saw my doctor she gave me a prescription for some drugs to help with the throw ups, which has been a huge life saver and helped me work. I am exploring all my options in the labor/delivery process. I'm a hippie by nature, I want whats best for me, and my baby, not what everyone else thinks will be best. I will read books, only from those with a non-bias point of view if you feel so inclined to add your two cents :) and I don't mind doing laundry, so cloth diapers (for at home not for when others have to deal with it) are also on the table (look into it saves money and no diaper rash!!).
I can't believe how much my life is changing, the same day I saw my baby for the first time I also went to help my best friend look for wedding dresses. I still feel half the time like I'm still in high school trying to fit in, and somehow I have a whole grown up life going on. I am excited for these changes in my life. It all just makes me feel old.
Well I have to pee, so I'm going to end here :)

Congrats! I wish I could say that pregnancy gets better, but it's not my favorite thing. I LOVE the first movements you feel. But the end result is the best thing ever!

You'll be an awesome mommy. Congrats again!

CONGRATS! Can't say I'm not jealous, cuz I am, but I am also SO happy for you!!! I was at the house today visiting and I saw your lilttle guy on the frige....what a fun surprise!! Pregnancy is tough, but also the BEST and most exciting time! Especially with your first cuz its all brand new. I actually missed being preggers after I had Lily because it was so cool and life changing! So enjoy it while you can! (especially your porn star figure! LOL that line made me laugh even though it happens to us all!)

Congratulations Mystie! You guys will make the best parents!! I'm so excited for you! Let me know if you have any questions, because you know that I'm a little more hippie than most when it comes to child birth and cloth diapers :)

P.S. I really liked the book called "Great Expectations" it was pretty much the same as "What to Expect When You're Expecting" but had different perspectives, etc. I can get you a list of natural childbirth books too if you're interested and websites for cloth diapers... yeah - pretty much whatever you need, just ask ;)

Holy Crap!!! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. Do you think you can have the baby 11 days early?

SO I read this a few days ago, but haven't been able to comment till now! CONGRATS! Your life will never be the same-(insert evil laugh). :) Can't wait to hear how the cloth diaper thing goes for ya...(I had thought about it and had a sister who did it)...but ultimately, wasn't for me. So many things to try and learn and it is a wonderful journey. I am jealous you are prego, I miss it soo much, even tho it was hard. Congratulations again..Mer
