My tastebuds changed!

So, I really hate how my taste buds have changed in this pregnancy! The things I usually love, really have not sounded appealing to me at all! I will share a quick list:

• Coffee (I don't even like the smell right now. I thought I could drink it last week, so I treated myself to my Grande Decaf 2 Raw Sugar Latte! It lasted about an hour :(


• Spices like Cilantro! I love all things with cilantro in them! however, i have not been able to eat Chipotle, tortilla soup or guacamole since becoming pregnant!


• Salad....just the thought of it makes me nauseous. i have not felt very healthy so far!

So, tonight I planned on making this yummy soup that Shea and I had a Whole Foods last week. The more I thought about it today the more green I got. So, now I am trying to come up with plan B for dinner. The only that appeals to me right now is a grilled peanut butter & jelly sandwich or banana & chocolate chip pancakes! Nothing healthy about either of those options. I can hear Leah, Shea's sister, in my head right now telling my what vitamins I should be getting for proper development of the baby! Leah, it is a good thing the prenatal vitamins have been staying down these days!! Off to make dinner!

Prego Belly Pics....

So, I finally let Shea take pics of my belly, not that he has been wanting too! I just have never loved my belly. so, the idea of having pics taken of it not very appealing. however, it was not as bad as i thought. so here they are. it will be fun to watch my belly grow!

An Alien, Baby Limb Buds, and Walnut Willis! Just a few nicknames for baby, so far!

Hello Family & Friends! WE’RE HAVING A BABY!! Ahhhhhhh!!! Can you believe it!?
Yeah, we can’t either! :) WE are so excited. So, this is my first time doing a blog. Please hang in with me b/c I am sure I will get better as I go on. Also, you have to understand that since this is my blog something will be misspelled :) I thought this would be a great way for our family and friends from all over to keep up with what is going on as the baby develops. I am officially 14 weeks now, and I am in my second trimester. I am due July 21st! I am starting to feel like myself again. The last 2 months have been very hard on me physically. I could not even walk near the refrigerator or the kitchen from Thanksgiving until after Christmas. I officially had no energy to do any Christmas shopping. I did all the shopping in a 2 1/2 hour span on Dec. 23rd!

We officially decided to not find out what we are having! We want to be surprised!! So, everyone can start guessing what we are having! I originally thought a girl, but after my last Dr. apt, the heart beat was 150 bpm. I heard that boys have slower heart beats. so, now I am thinking it is a boy! We will see how many times it changes throughout the pregnancy.

Well, my next appointment is Jan. 30th. I will get to listen to the heart beat and schedule the next ultrasound!
