How many pregnancy books can one girl read?

If she tries hard, a LOT!

I was at the thrift store right after my BFP and I came across this book for $1. Turns out, it's the BEST book I've seen so far! I absolutely love the non-medical, sarcastic, funny author who gives moms great advice that the doctor would never tell you.So glad I bought the next book about surviving the first year of motherhood.

After I started reading this book, I kinda wanted more. This morning I ran to a couple garage sales and found one house that had a ton of baby stuff. I was so overwhelmed with all the stuff to pick from and I had no idea what I would need. But I do know I can always use books so I picked up a few more. The woman who was having the sale was trying to push me to buy more and I said, "I'm wondering if too man baby books is a bad thing, so I think I'll just start with these."
And then I also stole a few magazines from the ob-gyn office...and ordered another book on Ebay...I'm a crazy PG mom!

The blueberry: 7 weeks

Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Momma Check-in

How far along? 7 weeks

How big is baby? About the size of a blueberry

Weight: 105...same as before

Health: Cramps have almost completely gone away and that's great. But the morning sickness seems to be getting a little worse. From 9am to 1 pm, I feel like I'm DYING! I'm still getting some migraines, but I bumped up my preventative vitamins so that might help.

Maternity Clothes: Still none, but I look a little just for fun. My tight clothes are starting to get a little tight and I need to find a couple new pairs of jeans for the next few months.

Sleep: I'm going to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 on most days and it's difficult to stay away at work sometimes. But I also wake up about 1/2 hour earlier than I need to, so I just get up and get into work early.

Best Moment This Week: We saw the little flicker of the heartbeat!

Movement: none

Planning/Preparation: I feel anxious that there's so much stuff I need to do to prepare. Right now, I'm trying to start getting the craft room finished up so I can clear out the baby room.

Belly Button In/Out: The whole belly button thing is starting to scare me. And do I just take out my belly button ring? Or do I get one of those stretchy ones?

What I Miss: Having more energy and getting things done

What I'm Looking Forward To: my next ultrasound

Contractions: obviously none

Next Appointment: Monday, June 28 is my last appointment at the fertility clinic

In a dreamland...

The last few weeks have been really weird. As if my body isn't going crazy enough, I keep having the weirdest dreams and most of them are more of nightmares. They have nothing to do with being PG, but they scare me. It seems like they're more vivid and I get into a deeper sleep than I used to. What's up with my brain?!?
