Tenative due date according to "Baby Apps" and the online calculator is...
December 28, 2012


I was very sceptical about it actual happening this month, but I guess it really does only take one try :)



Current Pregnancy Symptoms:

Unbelievable craving for chocolate cake... So I went out and bought one at 9:00 Friday night, took two bites, and threw it all up! That was my first hint to take the test on Saturday morning.

Super exahusted! Like have taken two naps already this weekend. Normal according to the books, should last through the 4th month and then even out.

Nauseous in waves... no vomiting except for the chocolate cake incident. Had an extreme food aversion to Panera's Broccoli and Cheddar Soup today :(




On a final note, here is some other exiting things that have been going on recently...



Izabella lost her 1st tooth this week!



Bruce and I at the Circut Assembly in Arcadia last weekend.

Getting Ready To Get Pregnant

While we are TTC, I wanted to educate myself on being as healthy as possible before, during, and after pregnancy. I am currently vegetarian (3 years and counting), and would like to continue to be meat-free throughout my pregnancy. However, I want to be sure that whatever I do is the healthiest possible for baby. I read a lot on other baby blogs about the book Getting Ready To Get Pregnant, and it is actually the BEST preconception book out there (I've scanned/read ALOT). I highly recommend anyone even thinking about conceiving to read this ASAP. Topics covered include: 10 Toxic Foods to Avoid, 10 Super Foods to Eat More, Way's to De-Stress For Baby, ect.
