I have expensive taste. My friends know that. My family knows that. My husband knew that before our first date. I'm not ridiculous with my taste. For example, I probably won't spend more than $300 on a pair of shoes, despite how much I want to own a pair of Louboutins. Actually, let me correct that - I probably won't spend more than $100 on a pair of shoes

No soda for Yoda.
I decided to have a Sprite today with my lunch and boy was that a bad idea. It was way too sweet for me. Like, I'm not even sure I finished a quarter of it. I even took a picture of it:
No more soda for Yoda. I swear this kid is making me healthier already.
In interesting news, I had a follow-up phone conversation with Dr. Davis.

Those are the respective times I kept getting up last night to go pee. I finally went to sleep around 7:45 and had two and a half hour nap. I'm still tired, actually. I'm finally eating breakfast when I should be getting ready for lunch. Oh hell, my clock is totally off now.
Last night, I couldn't quite
Today, I went to my family practitioner to confirm the pregnancy. I didn't want to go for a number of reasons. One, I didn't want to pay for an expensive pregnancy test (more on that in a bit). And two, probably the most important reason, I didn't want news that would upset me such as 'Um, you're not pregnant.'
Let me explain the second one.
With my first pregnancy, we discovered I
There's one thing about pregnancy I don't understand. The nausea. How is that I'm okay before I eat but right after I eat, I feel like
Thank goodness for these:
I got these at Whole Foods. They're pretty good. They don't taste any different from regular saltine crackers. They're also so cute! They come in different shapes!
So I can no longer sleep on my stomach. I never knew how much I
Today, Yoda is five weeks gestation! I'm officially in the second month of pregnancy. Woo-hoo! Let's see Yoda' s progress:
According to baby-gaga.com:
The changes to your growing embryo are not quite as drastic this week as they've been in the last few weeks.
Growth is now focused on your wee manatee's head, which is developing and growing much more rapidly than the rest of their tiny body. This is because their
Today, another one of my IC mamas lost her baby. She was 20 weeks along. It was her third loss. She had previously lost a 16-weeker, a 19-weeker, and now a 20-weeker.
I gave her my thoughts and prayers. And then I went into my bathroom and shed some tears for her. I wondered why. Why her? Why again? She had a TVC, but I'm not sure if it was the
Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm feeling right now.
My food aversion to vegan ice cream is replaced with a healthy, almost insane appetite for bacon. Not the healthy, fat-free turkey bacon I always eat. No. I want the pork. A lot of it. All of it. Just bring me a wheelbarrow full of bacon and I'll love you forever.

It just occurred to me that when I set up this blog, I didn't allow comments. So for everyone who tried to leave a comment but couldn't, I apologize. You can do so now.
So today I had my first food aversion. Something that I previously enjoyed to my heart's content and well, not for a long while. Well, at least not until December.
Vegan ice cream.
Yes, you read that right.
When I had a blog on myspace, I used to name my entries with song titles. I think I'll carry that tradition over here.
I spoke with Dr. Davis on late Thursday evening. I give him respect for returning my call so late since I'm based in Los Angeles and he's in New Jersey. We had a lengthy conversation about the TVCIC, the different types of cerclages, and what he
