So Appalled

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

I’m Lovin’ It: Yoda – Week 5

Today, Yoda is five weeks gestation! I'm officially in the second month of pregnancy. Woo-hoo!

My pregnancy week-by-week: Week 4

So Yoda is the size of a poppyseed, those little itty-bitty black things on the bagel in the picture. So crazy. I have little poppyseed Yoda inside of me.

After one year of trying, taking a break, trying again, doing away with the tempting and just said, 'eff it', I'm pregnant! A little background on me: I'm foxxy. You can call me foxxy. I started my TTC journey in December 2010. We suffered a miscarriage in April 2011 and fell pregnant again in July 2011. Our son, Ethan, was born prematurely at 22 weeks gestation on December 13, 2011
