Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

So far at 18 weeks, I've had my first prenatal visit. Everything went swimmingly. On track for weight gain, blood pressure looks great and Baby's heartbeat is good and steady. Unfortunately, Keith wasn't able to make it to this appointment due to work. It sucked, but it's life. I also felt the Baby starting to move. I was actually thinking that I was having weird gas issues, but then felt Baby fluttering about in there. Mega-smiles. Now for this little one to start kicking hard enough for Keith to feel.

Pregnancy is going along GREAT! I'm at 12 weeks right now and haven't had a single day of morning sickness. I've had some days where I'm just queasy around certain foods, but that's it. Nothing major. Which is AWESOME!! :) Oh, and more awesome?? Turns out that I'm getting my sister's crib from one of her kids (my nephew has now advanced to a "big boys bed," hence me getting one of her cribs for free). Which saves us a ton of money right there. And along with that, I'm also getting her car seat/stroller combo for free (which go for $200-300 in store!). So I've already got some of the big purchases without spending a dime! Sweet! And the same goes for clothes. Natalie's given me a whole bunch of clothes from when my nephew was a baby (which includes a lot of blankets), so I'm happy about that. The only "big" thing to buy is a dresser/change table. I'll probably end up going to a thrift store or hitting up the garage sale...

OMG!!!! I'M PREGNANT!!!!!! Seeing as I haven't had my cycle yet this month, I decided to use the pregnancy test that we had bought last month. So just before I went to make supper, I went and took the test and then went to start supper. Well, the test showed positive, so I took the test to Keith (after cleaning it off) and told him that he broke the law about pro-creating. Lol. He was just looking at it and me a couple times and then tried to play it off as a “false-positive.” I told him nope, because it's near the end of the month and my cycle hasn't started yet. Lol. So I guess this means I'm gonna have to go to the doctor and see how far along I am. If my calculation is correct, I'd be due in October/November. Woot!! And it was confirmed today. Me and Keith went to the walk-in clinic to make sure that the home test was right and that I was indeed pregnant. Got there around 12 and had to wait until 1:30 to register. Luckily, I had brought my DS and a book with...
