The Baby Chronicles

As promised, I have photos. First up is a stained glass box that a friend from my politics site MADE for Jake and I. Not for Noah, but for us. There's a very touching story that goes along with it as well, but I don't have the patience right now to type it all out.…

Finally took a new belly pic......so here they all are, as a refresher..... So there you are.....there's me and my baby Noah.   No hair pictures....kinda hard to do those ones yourself, and Jake's asleep.     Make your Doodlebug predictions here!You can also make guesses at ExpectN...

So, Jake and I went and registered for lots and lots of things for Noah today......yes, I said Noah. For whatever reason, he LOVES that name, so.....fine. It's certainly growing on me. And I get to keep Jacob as baby boy's middle name. AND I get the final say as far as our next child's…

Well, since everyone else is doing this, I figured I would, too...... Pregnancy Precautions:  I don't have any particularly strong views either way concerning this....as one of my faves so aptly put it, you can't avoid everything!! Drug usage, however, is a big no no in my book. Smoking...

Alright, since I haven't done this in awhile.....   Sorry, no bare belly shots, my stretch marks are gross....no one wants to see that, not even me. But it's very evident now that my belly is rounding out with baby goodness, and that it's not just all fatness anymore. I didn't have that dist...

My appointment was FABULOUS. Had to pee in the cup, of course. Was asked a few questions, duh. Then, Dr. Cannon brought out the Doppler. It was so funny, Doodlebug kept moving so she had to keep chasing around, but I got to hear that little heartbeat. SO freaking amazing. I wish I would have…

edit: Eh, screw it. Don't feel like writing a whole separate entry.   So Jake and I had a pretty quiet weekend. We ended up going to Best Buy Saturday night because apparently, our DVD player is broke. He was trying to watch some more episodes of The West Wing, and he said it kept…

So, I haven't written too much in depth on my feelings regarding this pregnancy.   Of course, I am thrilled beyond belief. I've wanted this ever since we got married. Did you guys know that before he deployed that first time, we thought I might be pregnant? Found out the day he left that I&h...

I'm still in shock over receiving a letter from my dad. He is one of the worst correspondents that I have ever met. And I'm not sure I spelled that right, but I'm not overly concerned with it right now, y'all know what I mean.   Jake starts the Academy tomorrow. We'll find out more…

Had my first gagging episode last night...while brushing my teeth.   And mouthwash? Forget it. That makes me gag, too.   That is all for now, nothing terrible exciting happening here.     See that? Danielle shared a new ticker with me. Me thinks I like it better than the other...
