Baby we have been living in the same body for 15 weeks now soon to be 16. I am trying to eat a variety of things for you but sometimes I don’t do so well, things just don’t taste the same.

Luckily I am not sick to my stomach anymore that stopped a few weeks ago and hasn’t returned yet… Hopefully, it won’t for a while.

I can’t begin to explain what you mean to me already. I mean it’s hard to explain; you are such a blessing that I was told would never happen. One day I hope to be able to explain this to you and share in your experience too.

We are excited; we have so many questions that can’t be answered right now. What is your gender, are you going to be early/late, when do we get to feel you kick wiggle etc for the first time. I can’t wait to feel you and to have your daddy feel you.

Your daddy thinks you are a girl, I do too. It doesn’t matter to us what sex you are we just want you to be healthy and safe and be the best that you can be.

I can’t wait to be able to shop for you. If you are a girl don’t hate me but you won’t be “FuFu” till you get older and do it on your own. I promise I know nothing about being FuFu or (girly girl.) I also promise not to act like it either because I don’t want people to make fun of you. If you are a boy, well I will love to shop for you too. There are some really cute clothes for boys and well just try not to stuff bugs or critters in your pockets and bring them in the house. EWWWW!

I hope you are not a picky eater. Your daddy will not be happy I passed those traits on to you. He still teases me about being a picky eater but I will tell you it’s not all my fault; I got it from your Grandpa Pete.

I wonder who you will look like when you are born. I think about all those silly things that are just normal for me. I do think about important stuff too like how am I going to feed you? Will I breastfeed or bottle-feed or both. Will you be a co-sleeper or sleep on your own? Will I be a good mother or will you hate me? Yes, I do worry about that because I can be a pain in the butt. I just don’t ever want you to have to see that.

Mommy and Daddy get to go to the Dr on the 22^nd of February for an ultrasound. Hopefully you will show your stuff. Now, after you’re born it’s a whole other story keep them private’s private lol.  We might be able to find out early IF we can get you to show your stuff to your Aunt Beth. Just to let you know now you can show your stuff to her she is just trying to help mommy and daddy. That doesn’t mean when you grow up to go streaking. We will definitely have issues if you do that.

In a week or so I will start singing to you. You might not be able to hear me but at least I will be practicing. I kind of need it.

I am going for now so I will talk to you in a few days.

Till then sweet baby (punkin)

I have to admit I wasn’t the one who came up with the idea of writing to my baby. I read another blog and took the idea from them. Please check it out too.

OK, this is a personal slap in the face to me, myself and I. I have been slacking to the point if I do not do what I need to physically I am terrified of giving birth (although I have several months to go.)

Today I am going to make a whole other page dedicated to my Wii Fit experience and exercising because I need to be a healthier me. I need to find a way to keep my energy up besides caffeine (which I am not drinking) but I need something. I am exhausted and I know I am not eating right so that has a bit to do with it.

Here is where you all come in…

• Help hold me accountable
• If you see I didn’t post my daily wii pic yell at me. (OK be nice about it I might get a bit grumpy.) lmao
• Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated and very helpful

I know I want a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby but I am afraid I’ll require some help on the healthy part because I am not feeling the foods that are good for me.  Actually nothing really tastes good.

Please reply all of your suggestions as well as; shoot just reply any help will be appreciated.

Now that I am pregnant I have to do everything by the book I guess or at least as close to it as possible.

I admit in the last month I have gained 16 pounds. Ehh, not good; I attribute some of those 16 pounds to me not having a water pill anymore but the rest of it I am blaming on my unborn baby liking peanut-butter balls. Now please don’t tell me it’s too early for the baby to like or dislike things this is my story and I’m sticking to it. J

My Dr. said that because of my weight it’s ok for me to still lose weight as long as I do it right so I figure its ok. Hey the Dr said so right?

My goal is to lose those 16 pounds that I gained all the while not gaining anymore than the 25-30 pounds that she said is somewhat normal. Still not happy with that but I guess that is healthy.

I did find out that drinking one glass of milk a day can actually help your metabolism so hey I figure two will be even better since I have to anyway.

As far as cooking, well I haven’t been nor have I been exercising. I started cramping and it scared me considering I’ve never been through this before so I asked the Dr and she told me walk. Walk a lot. Nothing strenuous or new for example if I was a runner then it’s ok to run but to be careful. No worries there. I only ran/jogged in my living room with EA SPORTS Active and my wii.

EA SPORTS Active is a whole other story; I think it’s on a case by case basis as far as the exercise thing. I was told not to do EA SPORTS Active because of the running, jumping, squats and things but I could stick with my wii and play games being active and not sitting on the couch. Walking she said is the best but you would think that would get BORING! So, I think I am going to break-out the wii fit plus and do some stepping. It’s low to the ground and something different that I enjoyed doing. Oh, don’t forget the hula and the other not so strenuous things.

Other than that I was told to enjoy, keep exercising and eat more than 2 times a day. Yeah, but it’s hard to eat if you’re not hungry. I guess force it. I will do whatever it takes to keep that baby growing and healthy.

I will be posting some healthy recipes that I am cooking so that we can all share in the wealth of health.
