Itching to buy things

Oh man, I have been itching to buy things for this little miracle since we saw the heartbeat. However, I have been really good and have only bought one thing and it was the receiving blanket that matches the bed set that Jeremiah and I fell in love with. Oh, you want to see the set? OK!
It is the Sleepy Safari set at Buy Buy Baby. I just love it so much. If you want to see more of it, you can just click here.

If you know me, you know that I adore all things elephant and my child HAS to have an elephant based room. I am just so excited to buy elephant things for this sweet child and share my insane love for the big ol' grey guys.

Also, I have fallen trap to the bargain baby sites. Here is a list of the baby sites that I love:
MamaBargains.com
BabySteals.com
Zulily.com

If you have anymore to share, please do!

Ok, so here is a quick gripe. It is really hard to find gender neutral things in most stores. Buy Buy Baby has a nice selection, but Target is all pink and blue. What if you don't like either of those colors? Maybe I should start a gender neutral line of clothing for the mom who wants to start shopping a little early.

Fun pictures

Hello to the ones following, thus far!

I promised that I would add some pictures and what not as time went on. So, this entire post will be pictures for your enjoyment!

This first picture is of the 3 tests that I took to prove it to myself, that I was in fact, pregnant again.

Houston, we have a baby and a heartbeat!!!! This is at 5 weeks 5 days. I was so excited, that I forgot to ask the heart rate and any of the specs. However, I do know that baby was right on target and doing great. Baby looks like a little M&M to me.

These were taken at 6 weeks 1 day. I am terribly bloated and feel like crap, but I figured I better take them and just do what I gotta do. About 20 minutes after these pictures I had to change due to throwing up all over myself, but whatever.


These were all taken on 6 weeks 5 days, the reason it isn't as clear as the first one is because it wasn't done trans vaginally. Instead the tech did it on top of my tummy to see if it was possible an it was (yay!!). The heart beat was 131 and baby was measuring perfectly on time. The first picture is of the CRL (Crown-to-rump length) and the last picture is the most clear of the pics.

I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I do (minus the ones of me). Next time, expect to get an update and maybe a preview of the bedding we have already picked out.

Thanks again for following us!

This is the beginning of an exciting new adventure

I have always wanted to do a baby blog, but unfortunatley, I have never been able to. However, this looks like it might just be our successful and sticky baby. It is still very early, but we have never been this far, so I have my hopes up and I feel like I should be able to at this point.


My plan for this blog is to chronicle the day in and day out of this exciting pregnancy for the world (well, those of you that are reading this).


I want to tell you how I'm feeling, what I'm thinking and how everything is going thus far. I have started a little time-line to the right of the page for quick reference or whatever. Feel free to ask any questions or give me any pointers as you feel the need.


As of today, I am 6w6d and feeling ok. I have been nauseas most of this pregnancy and am having consistent headaches. I think most of it is due to the fact that I am on 200mg of Prometrium 2x a day for a Progesterone deficiency.


Anyway, after this post I will update with pics and other fun stuff as we go along.


Thanks for sharing with me!
