Weeks 8-12

This article is simply awesome and perfect timing to add this to my post, as I am finally starting to feel pregnant. I pity the first fool who says any of this to me! Pregnant hormones cause uncontrollable emotions y’all, so watch out. 12 Things You Should Never Say to a Pregnant Person

I am behind in my writing of these weeks but I think I can quickly wrap-up in a few words on get us up to date – Gas, lots of Gas. To my dear friend Brooke; do you remember the first time you ate a FiberOne bar? It’s like that. All. Day. Long. You’re welcome everyone. Oh, and I am also obsessed with oranges, they are the only thing keeping my stomach in check.
We took a little mini-trip to the mountains at week 10 in Ruidoso, NM. Such a great getaway on 5 acres of land, the dogs ran and ran and chased deer. This trip was also where the pregnancy announcement was taken, with Stella hanging out the window looking like she was talking. Such a personality.

Ok, we’re up to date now. I am in my 12th week and just when I thought the morning sickness was ending, it has come back for two days now with a vengeance. I did talk to my friend in Portland (thank you Sarah Kief!) who is also pregnant with her first baby, and she recommended Preggie Pops. What a genius idea for the ease of popping them in your mouth and getting some form of relief (suckers and candy, though the candies were the ones recommended).

The pregnancy books are great, but can tend to get a bit boring (I have three of the textbook size variety). I just bought my first Fit Pregnancy and it is such a great magazine! Loads of great information (a bot overwhelming actually), but the good news is it only comes out bi-monthly, so you have plenty of time to process it all. I highly recommend it to pregnant ladies and new moms. Here is the link to check it out: Fit Pregnancy
