Well DF and I were gonna wait to say anything until the doctor confirmed the date, but I'm pretty postive it's May 18!!! WE ARE GONNA HAVE A BABY!! An Earth one at that possibly, which is funny because my family is FULL of Tauruses, I guess I'm carrying the torch. I couldn't resist bombarding you with all of my questions hehehe

Did you have annoying cramping too? Its so dull and constant one moment and gone the next hour and repeats. What were your cravings like? I'm craving salt like you wouldn't believe and everyone's telling me to stay away and I just can't I love chocolate and even just saying it makes me want to hurl. Did you have insane insomnia too? I can't sleep and when I do finally sleep it's seems like forever hahaha. I keep getting that nasty metal smell and taste, it smells like I'm sucking on a bloody band-aid, gross I know!

I'd love to hear any and everything you want to share! I'm really excited and couldn't hold back any longer. Hope you're doing awesome! I look forward to checking back here.

Thank you guys so much. The original plan was to wait until the Dr confirmed the date but I couldn't resist sharing the news of wittle BabyFreeze

@Faith I'm still so shocked. I can't believe it, it's so surreal. He and I both are beyond excited, me more so of course I'm thinking it'll sink in fully once the baby's in his arms.

I've been taking prenatals for a few months, I read that it's really great for women trying to conceive or even just to get a grip on your hormones. Thankfully the prenatal pills I take have vitamin E in them as well as a ton of really good stuff for little one. But now that you mentioned 1,000 ius we may just have to go and get some I use 20,000 ius of the oil for my entire body and I LOVE it, it's really great stuff.

My mom said that I was angel baby and it'd be awesome if ours were the same, if not then oh well. As long as it's healthy and has all parts that's all that matters. Baby's are baby's they can't help if they cry, hopefully I'm able to keep this attitude until then. Thank you so so much for all of the well wishes.

Yeah these damn salt cravings are a mother. Just insane lol and it's just the beginning. I'm being good a girl though I promise, keeping hydrated all of the time! I don't want to know the sex and DF wants to so we'll see how that works out hahaha. I haven't cooked with raw meat just yet but will be tomorrow so we'll see I really hope it doesn't bother me, I love cooking too much. I don't like the smell of garlic, it smells like rotting dead bodies, ick hahaha.

Our niece is gonna let us borrow some of her books and if the one you mentioned isn't there we may have to look into it. Thank you so much. It's all still so brand new so I don't have as many questions yet but they're coming. Talk to you later.

Awesome tip I'll definitely have to do that when or if that happens. So far I've felt relatively normal, no too wired cravings yet and still no puking!! It's so weird I feel pregnant and then I don't. Am I supposed to be so darn uncomfortable already? I have to sleep on my left side because everything else is so uncomfortable. The insomnia seems to be an every other day thing, it's not gonna stay throughout the entire pregnancy is it? I hope not.

Awe so you do only have 1 girl? That's so sweet. My mom really wants it to be a girl because I'm the only girl as well, I honestly don't care as long as the baby's healthy that's all that matters. There at a few names that I'm obsessed with but I think we're just gonna have a few names picked out and then decide when little ham's in our arms. I'm so tiny, I'm only 4'10" so I'm soo nervous that this child is gonna blow me up and I'll look like a blueberry, I don't wanna be a blueberry hahaha.

What were your early pregnancies like? I've been like a tv show host asking every mama I know questions. Did you lose weight, I'm hearing from some that they lost weight which seems kind of scary for the baby. I know that I definitely want to stay as active as I can, I want both of us to be healthy. The nesting, how was that for you? I'm already a clean FREAK hahaha so I have no idea how it's even possible to clean more. What were your food aversions? With your sons? Your daughter? How was your energy? I'm tired and then hyper and then tired again throughout the day. Pregnancy is just oh so fun and it's just the beginning.

I actually haven't had my first appointment yet. I had one scheduled before we found and it had to be rescheduled once we found out. I'm a little over 7 weeks and have a few more weeks to go until then. I'm anxious.

I really hope I'm not high risk. If I had to have a c section then of course but I'm really hoping I won't have too. I'm torn between going the midwife route where I know more than likely it'll be as natural as they'll allow me, or the regular hospital route. It solely depends on our insurance, which is awsome by the way, which way we'll go. I want as natural as I can get it and to feel it all! ☺️

You only gained 25 lbs!!? You lucky! I don't want to gain more than 30. I've been really good, eat vegetables, Greek yogurt, the whole 9 yards and plan on staying that way atleast during the week. The weekends I have to have hot chips, like it's a necessity hehehe.

I despise napping😞. I feel so disoriented after waking up like I've drank gallons and gallons of alcohol hahaha. My dreams are getting weirder with each passing day hahaha.

Oh did you take vitamin e during your last trimester? He and I did some research(wasn't too extensive) and it's not recommended for anyone to take it if you're not fighting disease and if you are pregnant not until the 3rd trimester. 😳 Is that what you did? If not then obviously that's not true.

That's awful that you had to smell that. There really is nothing like being completely turned off by something and then it be brought to you. Ugh I'd have thrown up on them hahaha. Thank God meat doesn't bother me, it's just garlic so I'm really hoping it stays that way. I loooooove food too much

As always thank you for being so awesome and helping me Faith I really appreciate you. I'm pooped but I promise to keep you updated.

Hi Barbie,

Didn't mean to scare you about being "high risk" for a C-section! Sorry sorry. I have no idea whether you would be higher risk for that or not, and shouldn't have said anything. 'Just thinking of a smaller frame possibly having difficulties...but then, I have a small frame, too, and had difficulty (2 hours of pushing even with my third child...the midwife was rolling her eyes behind my back that it was taking me so long) and I still managed to have every baby naturally. Without epidurals or painkillers beforehand (OTC stuff afterwards.)


Anyway...

Your diet sounds fantastic! I'm a health nut but I don't think my diet was that great in the first trimesters.

Vitamin E...well, just looked it up again and I'm still seeing sites recommending it to prevent miscarriage. There are two opinions about everything. Just go with what feels right to you

hehehe glad you don't like naps! You get more done that way!

I'll let you go, rest easy, ttyl

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your amazing and sweet words, Faith. I really appreciate all of it.

Unfortunately we lost the baby. I miscarried almost a month ago. I was spotting and had to have the Rhogam shot, and my body started depleting the pregnancy two days after. It's been extremely hard for me and so I stepped away from LL for a bit. At first I was fine with it, didn't fully accept it, and then it hit me. I'm okay now, it's just still really difficult for me. I am however happy that we'll be finding out what exactly is wrong. I did find out that I'm O- blood type and that I was a lot earlier than I thought. I was actually about 7 weeks when we lost it. So I'm not sure what exactly the cause was but hey life goes on.

Again thank you for everything. You're one of the most sweet, caring and genuine people here and I appreciate you. I may or may not update what we find out. I still want children of course, we'll just absolutely be taking our time.

Thank you again.

It's okay. It was really hard to accept at first because this time I truly felt pregnant. I felt the life growing and to have it taken away so quickly was incredibly hard for me. I didn't understand at first but I'm happy it happened. It could've been born with so many birth defects and problems. I would rather it go that way then to give birth to it and it live a life of suffering.

I look at it as truly not being ready yet. It will absolutlely happen eventually as I'm not having trouble getting pregnant(hehehe), its the staying pregnant. Thank you for your encouragement and always being so kind.

You are very deserving of those words as it shows in the way you interact and are on LL. Hope you're doing great.

I am sorry to hear of your pain.
I believe you are right, it happened for a special reason and your love and unselfishness will prepare the way ahead.
You and DF are young, strong and will make beautiful babies together.
