Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Pretty dang sure.

So I'm pretty dang sure what I was feeling was the baby. I felt this past Tuesday, but rather than a constant poking, it was more of the butterfly effect. I guess it was just rolling around in there, but then I've been feeling more and more pokes. It's sooo cool! It's kind of hard to believe, because I still don't really feel pregnant - i just feel chubby and out of shape.

I have graduated to yoga pants. Most of my normal people pants don't fit anymore. It's ok because I can get away with looking nice enough for work, if I wear a nice shirt and some cute shoes. A little tacky - I know, but I'm pregnant, so what are you gonna say? And these days it's all about the accessories, because the belly isn't at that all so cute stage where I actually look pregnant. I'm more like, "I think she might be, but maybe she just gained weight..." stage. Although Bryan says I definitely look pregnant, when I have been telling people this past week, they seemed to have no idea. but really who cares if they think I'm fat. I know I'm not and I can't suck it in regardless. I should get one of those, "I'm not fat, I'm pregnant." shirts so people don't judge me as a shove a doughnut in my mouth.

Today's question: How did your body feel through all the shifting? I feel like now that I'm a little bigger, my body thinks its hauling around 300 pounds, because all of my muscles get tired. It feels like a workout to walk to and from campus. It is a 20 minute walk uphill, but still!

And please feel free to share your weird cravings. I just want a pizza lunchable everyday. And I thought I wanted a hot dog once, but talked myself out of it. And soft serve ice cream or soup tends to tame my upset stomach.

I'm gonna do this.


I decided that I am going to start blogging FOR REAL. We'll see how this goes.

Life is busy with school and work, but I can do it! - at least once a week.

Juan wants to start taking pictures of me every few weeks, so y'all can see my growth and progress and give me some advice. (Advice I desperately need!). Luckily, as of now, the nausea is GONE. Gagging comes with certain smells, but the daily puking has passed.

My first question. Doctors? how do you know if you like them? I have been going to this one, and I'm pretty sure I want to switch, but I don't even know where to start. I don't know anyone around that has had a baby here. I'm thinking of just hanging out at the playground and talking to the moms like a stalker creep to get some suggestions.

Second, when did you feel your first baby? how do you know it's your baby and not gas or something?
