The Bad Sign

I've Jumped
Thank you so much for all of your congratulating comments and friendly tips and words. You have no idea how grateful I am for me and how much they lift my spirits. I feel like I need to preface this post a little. This blog has never been your average happy go lucky roses and butterflies blog so I hope my honesty doesn't shock you now.I know it was no naive of me, but I thought when I finally became pregnant I would have no reason to be sad, upset, jealous. I thought I'd be overwhelmed with joy and gratitude and not have enough room for negative emotions.I'm so grateful for my blessings. For my health, for my wonderful husband, for our growing baby, for clean water a

9 Weeks Pregnant and Getting Fatter!
I swear I get bigger as the day goes on. Last night I was getting undressed and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and GASPED! ...No lie, then I grabbed my stomach.My iPhone ap said this would happen. The "What to Expect" one. It said this week I should take off my shirt, take a deep breath and look in the mirror! I know a lot of people don't start taking belly pictures until 12 weeks or so but I'm glad I have been.

Tuesday I'll be answering your questions from the "Ask me anything" post on my MomTV Show. What I don't answer there I'll type out and post here. I'll also figure out if there's a way for me to e

What are the Chances?: Baby, er... Fetus Names
It's something I've feared a long while... Giving my baby the most common name in the class. In the fourth grade I remember there being 5 other Jennifer's in the class. That's when I developed the nickname "Jenn" while others were called "Jenny" (a name I refuse to answer to). When it comes to baby names, I'm pretty sure we're covered with unique but classy, cute names. I've only shared them with a select few friends, and I haven't even told my parents.I thought we had an agreement not to tell anyone... My husband swore me to secrecy but recently told me he told his mom our names. So I'm ALMOST ready to spill the beans myself, but not quite.I flipped through baby boo

Ask Me Anything!
I've been meaning to do one of these posts for a long time and I figure with my sleepiness lately this will give me a break from putting my current thoughts down right now, but also be a fun little game!Ask me whatever in the comments section!

Be nice, have fun!Also here's a couple of questions for you that you can answer for me in the comments if you want:1. What's one bit of pregnancy/labor/mommy advice you have?2.
