Maggie would be so mad if she knew that dogs were allowed on the bed now.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Commander in Chic.  Love this brand and love this color.  I'm just going to describe it as a dusty purple, but a lot of people see some gray and taupe in it, too.

Before and After...

These books were from my library visit back in early July.  I was reading so much, going to the library, and going to secondhand stores to build up my collection of Stephen King books around the time I was going through my morning sickness period.  Now, whenever I see books, I feel kinda sick.  Weird, I know.  So, I'm taking a break.  Fun fact - I've read 48 books since I started keeping track last October. 

She Went All The Way by Meg Cabot. I had to google this to remember what it was about. 

The Guy Not Taken by Jennifer Weiner.  This was a collection of short stories and I remember wanting more after each story was over.  Each story should have been a full book!

I wanted to blog about my pregnancy before now, just to keep track of things for myself really, but I'm just soooo lazy.  Here we are at 11 weeks!  And we are actually at 14 weeks right now.  All of my doctor visits and tests have come back with great results - yay! 

Let's see...things to remember...

I kinda knew at 5 weeks because of the very faint line on the pregnancy test.  Billy said he didn't even see a line and that I was just wanting to see one.  I didn't rely on the missing period because I had a crazy period thing a few months earlier. So, we didn't know for sure until I took another one an entire week later.  Which was about the time the 'morning sickness' kicked in.  For me, I would describe it as just a general feeling of grossness and thankfully it only lasted weeks 6-9.  Dear readers, you may want to skip this next sentence.  My boobs were mega sore for awhile and now I'm having to deal with constipation.  And... we're back.  No food issues or cravings.  And, also, I can still brush my teeth (couldn't with Ruthie).  I started showing pretty early.  I wore maternity jeans to my 11 week appointment and at 13 (or was it 12?) weeks I started wearing maternity pants to work.  I'm pretty sure I have felt flutters, but the internet says I'm not supposed to yet, so I'm hesitant to mention that out loud.

Of course, we don't know it it's a boy or girl yet. I'm guessing a girl this time.  We've been trying to think of names and so far we only agree on one...Mars Curiosity.

(I'm just kidding about the name, but we seriously crack ourselves up whenever we tell people that!)
