How about a Margarita?

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.-Thebump.com

Saturday Shopping Spree

Over the weekend I ventured out to Great Beginnings, a local store in Gaithersburg MD that specializes in everything baby. I went with my friend Kristen, who is about a month ahead of us. Even though we were both pretty clueless about what to shop for, it was a great way to learn about all the baby products out there, as well as get some ideas for the nursery. We both had a blast, check out some of the pics below!

Ways to piss off a pregnant lady:

1. Wafting wonderful aromas in front of her face. Example, driving behind the Taco shop on Wheels this morning
2. Eating the last pickle in the jar
3. Eating the last bit of ice cream
4. Asking me if it was "planned"
5. Foul smells of any kind

Thats all for now!

How about some prune juice?

With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.) -thebump.com

Shop 'til you drop

Over the weekend I priced out some of the items we will need for our little one. I was so surprised how expensive a rocker/glider could be. I want one of good quality, and one that looks more like a club chair, instead of a rocker with intricate parts on the bottom. This one is from JC Penney, a little over $400, which is more than the crib I like. So my search will continue. I did find some cute baskets ($6.99) for storage from Ikea, and inexpensive rug (12.99).

Walmart surprised me with some adorable bedding, but not sure how plush or soft it might be.

We have an Olive!

Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like... well... a baby! -Thebump.com

Yeah, we are progressing so quickly!!

8 Week Photo Op!

Last week we had a second oppurtunity to look at our little one. Again, all I was waiting for was to see something in the sac. I couldn't believe how much bigger "Baby A" has gotten. Dr. Forrest called it a little Snowman! Needless to say, you can call it whatever you want, but we have a growing baby with a heartbeat!!

So the spins begin...

This morning was the first time I found myself running for the toilet bowl. It was so odd, I went to make coffee, stood over the sink, and an overwhelming heat came over my body and I began to sweat. I was able to get it under control and I have been ok since but not 100%. It seems that smells lately are really getting to me. My coworkers food, gasoline and cigarettes smoke. Truthfully, I welcome them all:)
