I spent $20 on assorted fruit last week...anything she starts to crave I go out and get.
We went to the doctor yesterday...thought we were getting an ultrasound, but it was just a visit to fill out family history. We go for an ultrasound on June 7...she'll be 10 weeks by then.
I've been looking at these "how your baby develops books" lately...it's really intresting...I'm looking forward to everything!!

It is such an amazing thing to experience and I think learning about the whole process makes it even more exciting! There's one book that I've really enjoyed called "The Pregnancy Journal" and it tells what's happening/developing on each day of the pregnancy but also has space for the mom to record her own thoughts. It also has lots of good tips for dealing with the discomforts of pregnancy.0 -

And i eat a bowl (or two) of cereal each morning! Cheerios have been grrrrreat!
I eat two bowls of cereal a day!

yea, i have that journal! i love it! another good calender place to view is pregnancy.org
my daily visits on the web include: babycenter.com, babyzone.com & pregnancy.org all 3 are great sites for daily updates on what baby is doing & how much baby should weigh!
and cereal is a great thing for us to be eating! we get our milk & depending on what kind of cereal your eating - whole grain! like i said, i've been on a cheerio kick, or the yougurt burst cheerio kind & banana nut bread cereal.. mmmm good stuff! *~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~*

this is what the pregnancy.org calender says for me today:
24th -
Congratulations! You're in the Third Trimester!
and tomorrow:
25th -
Baby can make grasping motions, and likes to suck its thumb.
neat!*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~*

I love learning that stuff! There's also a book (which you've probably seen) that is a journal for the baby's first year. My husband tried to buy it for me the other day but the copy he found was damaged, so I haven't seen it yet. But that should be fun as well!
I tend to go to iVillage.com more than any other web site. It has message boards divided up by the month in which you are due under the heading of "2006 Expecting Clubs." It's really fun and helpful to compare notes with other women at the same stage in their pregnancy. I can't believe how many babies from the June board have already been born! 0 -
I am extremely excited these days...can't tell you how much the news has effected me.
However, I'm also nervous...PBW has a cyst (softball size) in her uterus. Doctor's have said that uterus will expand, so everything should be ok.
Still...I'm on edge. I imagine you're this way anyway during a pregnancy, but I'm even more so.

Wow looks like cereal is a huuuge hit!
I still eat abowl in the middle of the night after feeding Adria.
I have no helpful tips for PBWs nausea. I never had it.
But I did notice if I got hungry I didnt feel very good some days.
Man hunger hits full force throughout and even after pregnancy.
Dont worry bout the cyst too much PBM. My sister had a huge one on
her one ovary and it never burst of anything during her pregnancy.
Another good website is Penn University pregnancy. Google it.
You can sign up for weekly emails on your babys development.
A good book is Birthing from within by Pam England
Also Pregnancy the natural way by Zita West. ( good info for home remedies)the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...0 -

I found whenever I felt ill if I ate something it subsided and if I didn't it got worse. The catch is when you feel sick like that you don't feel like eating anything, but I used to force myself to eat some toast with vegemite and as soon as I had a bite or two I felt so much better and it wasn't a hassle to get the rest down. Also I used to eat breakfast after getting my fiances work clothes and lunch ready in the morning, but now I eat breakfast first because I am hungry as soon as I wake up (I still do it even though I am over the morning sickness stage).
The only time I threw up was actually towards the end of the morning sickness stage and that is because we drove into the city one day and just as we were leaving I started feeling hungry, my fiance said not to worry we would be home in 20mins, so we drove home with me feeling like throwing up all the way. We were on a freeway so no place to stop for food or even pull over if I had to throw up. I think my fiance thought I was exagerating, because I had never actually thrown up in the first 13weeks he probably thought that I was never really that sick, but I was. Luckily I held on while we were on the freeway but just as we turned onto the last street before home I made him pull over because I couldn't last any longer and I threw up on the grass near a sidewalk. I felt horrible that I had to do that, but luckily it is not a busy area, so it probably didn't effect to many people walking by. Anyway I think he believed me whenever I said I was sick after that. And I learnt to always carry food with me if I was going to be out for a while. It made me realise that it really was eating that made me feel better, it wasn't just a coincidence. I got so sick of eating, which is surprising because I love to eat, but apparently even I have my limits on how much is enjoyable.
Hope that helps a bit.0 -
me and my mate are preggers!
:-)
we're very happy. we didn't think we could. seven years . . . nothing except some nasty bad cells and surgery on my cervix, so last year we gave up and then we started working on adoption papers. i went to honduras came back throwing up, tired, and having back pains. i thought i'd caught my death or at least a worm. . . turns out i was just 8 weeks pregnant. oddly enough part of my job in honduras was to ask, "embarazada?" (pregnant?) before giving out meds to women.
PBM,
"Still...I'm on edge. I imagine you're this way anyway during a pregnancy, but I'm even more so."
i feel for you, my husband's been way more freaked out about stuff than i've been; he's been more emotional than i and just as sick. . . i think it's that way for some men, sort of sympathy pregnancy.
about the nausea, raspberry leaf tea is supposed to help. i've drunk it quite a bit -- not been sick much, i think maybe three weeks grand total i've been sick and i'm almost out of the first trimester. also ginger ale and saltines! but now, i've got to eat as soon as my mouth starts watering -- that's the trick for me. i can't be hungry and not get sick, i figured out that i wasn't eating enough and that made me salivate and that made me throw up.
i think everyone's different though.0 -

And yes, Adria is pretty damn cute!
I'll be there myself in the next few weeks and I'm going to tell people it's all baby, and not fat! You can't know what it's like, to bleed from here,
