Baby Bump Details: No Morning Sickness?!

baby bump

Don't hate me automatically for reading the title! I have had the crazy luck of having NO morning sickness at all. I don't know how or why or anything like that but not once did I ever experience it; yet.

I feel like by now it would have happened to me or I would have gotten it or should have, and I should be in the clear now at 5 months.

And honestly, up until I was JUST about 20 weeks, did my stomach really start to show. But then it came out of no where and just appeared. I am not one of those people that will be taking lots of pictures and counting the weeks. I am more about... see me before and then see me after and those 9 months no one knows what I look like.. we're all good!

I know you want to curse me out and I totally understand that! I really hope my good luck now won't change into bad luck around the time of the delivery and cause me to have the worst experience ever.

I haven't had any weird food cravings really, but I do eat a lot of pickles and jolly ranchers for whatever reason. A lot of salty foods are pretty much what I crave, but I will eat mostly anything.

I have not taken to eating like shit and only eating donuts and such. I eat a lot of fruit, chicken, salad, and vegetables. I find myself craving salads and chicken more then like McDonald's but there are times when I JUST WANT A WENDY'S CHEESEBURGER. (I have never liked them before... why I like them now randomly who knows!)

So, that's my bit of information that I will share with you today on my pregnancy. I feel extremely lucky, and can't believe it.

If you have any experiences for a first time mommy you would like to share, I would be so happy to post your experience under baby bump details!!! Please leave me a comment with your email or email at the mail me button to the right!

Happy Monday.......!

Calling All Pregnant First Time Mommies!

Picture

I honestly know so many people that are pregnant right now, especially on their second babies. Unfortunately they are mostly just people I have known that are still my friends on facebook that I haven't seen in a bazillion years.

My point being:

I am 28 going on 29 and none of my friends are pregnant.

So my choices of people to talk to about being pregnant are...... oh slim to NONE.

None of my friends care that I am pregnant. They aren't at that point in their lives; and it is what it is, I can't expect anyone to care or want to know how I am or how the baby is or buy me baby clothes because they are excited; point blank: I am pregnant and I need to find some people to talk to about it who are going through the same thing.

So I am reaching out to bloggers. If you are pregnant or just had a baby, please contact me! Leave me a comment with your blog and email address.

I want to start a weekly Pregnant Mommy post but I need your help! I haven't had too many crazy pregnant things happen to me yet so I am not so good on the morning sickness advice or not sleeping advice.

There aren't too many groups for mommy to be's; its more about the groups of the after the babies are born groups. I just am not ready to join that group yet.

Please reach out to me if you would like to join. I would be happy to share anything that you want to write or any stories that you have experienced so far being pregnant.

Even if you check out The Bump's best mom blogs, they don't have a mommy to be blog. Or even first time mommy blogs. Anything that I could read to relate to it. A lot of the blogs are single moms, pregnant and single, or people who have kids already, etc.etc. I am talking about FIRST baby and haven't had it yet stories! This is a scary time!

2013: The Year of Transformation

{photo}

It has been quite awhile since I have sat near a computer and actually wrote anything meaningful besides writing lesson plans for work. I have definitely neglected a talent and hobby of mine that I was incredibly in love with over the past four years. But life got in the way and caused me to have to find different ways to make money, which was bartending while trying to finish my master's as fast as possible. So, if you have ever bartended before, you can imagine the hours that I was working in order to make the most amount of money as possible.
And I honestly wouldn't change it for the world. It was an amazing experience and I met and worked with so many people and learned a lot of management skills and forced myself to multi-task going to school to finish my master's, working at many different schools being a substitute, and bartending as many nights of the week as possible to pay my rent, and inevitably trying to have a social life! So, my hobby of writing, really got pushed to the very very end of my list of important things in my life.

As I enter 2014, my life is 100% different from how I started off 2013. If I were to have told myself in 2013 that in 2014 my life would be like this, I would have laughed in my face! But it has been the worst, best, hardest, most incredible experience ever in my life and I would literally change nothing or want it to be any different.

I can never just change one thing about my life. It usually has to be like if I change one, then everything else needs to change as well. Every year I think has been the hardest year of my life and I have accomplished one great thing and so forth, but 2013, this year has been the BIG year for me.

2013:
Graduated, received my master's and got 3 New York State Teaching Certificates
Went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Met the love of my life
Rented a shore house
Went on vacation to Europe: Austria, Germany, Italy
Got engaged
Found out I was having a baby girl
Got Married
Moved into a house with my husband
Got my first 5th grade teacher job in the Bronx

See what I mean, I don't do anything just half assed. I make sure its all the way!
My life has went from being the single girl who lived with her friends and was just making it by from bartending and working at shitty preschool or substitute jobs to being a grown up.

My life that lays ahead of me is so exciting, I wish this baby would get here now. Collecting girls clothes and getting ready for June 2014 is like the countdown of a lifetime.

I also never thought I would find the man I would love, marry, and have a child with, ever in my life. I literally couldn't have ever been so lucky. I actually still can't believe I got so lucky. After all of these years of having such shit luck, it finally changed.

And here's to the transformation that is about to happen in life.

And as for transformation, I will be focusing on my new life: Army Wife, Teacher, Mom to Be, House maker, life.   Ahhhhhhhh who would have ever thought!!!!!!

Stay tuned.

My Niece

And I love her sooooooooooo sooooooooo much.

I was so sad to leave. I will be back there in September. Ugh i love this little munchkin!!

Weekend in Florida

Life in Florida is sooooooo soooo different. Everything moves much slower. I almost feel everyone moves so much slower because it is so damn hot. Is that even a valid excuse to move that slow and have everyone accept it?

My best friend lives there with her husband and I went down to see them. I was hoping the baby was born this weekend, but obviously she was not :( But I did get to spend time with them so that was fun. We just chilled out, I went to the pool and beach and drank.... couldnt ask for more!!!

And we went out to dinner for Mother's Day!

And I got to see the finished baby room... which was SO SO cuteeeee!!

And the pool was just awesome..

Overall it was so nice to leave New York and not have to worry about anything or anyone. No one ruined my trip, no one gave me a hard time, I didn't stress because someone I was dating would be hanging out with other girls.... nothing.

So amazing to not feel like that.

THAT is what I wish had happened when I went to Vegas and California. What a bastard for ruining my trip. Stupid piece of shit!

Anyway,,,I am sad to be home again. It was so nice to be off and to hang out with them. It makes me wonder why I live in New York where it's cold all the time. Hopefully one day I won't be here for the winter!

How was everyone's Mother's Day?

A Baby Shower for Gianna Vida :)

My best friend's moving down to Florida this past week so we had her shower early.... shes so pretty as a baby mama :)

My niece's name is going to be Gianna Vida.   Soooooo beautiful.

This is my FAVORITE thing I bought for her!!! :) LOVE it.


I'm gonna miss them :(  I hate that they have to move so far away. ughhh.

babies and weddings and babies

I finally got to see my best friend this weekend... and she is 14 weeks preggo!!! Meaning I will be an aunt soon! It was so nice to see her. It's been like almost two months because she has been sick and then busy and then schedules didnt work. So it was good to just chill out, talk and watch tv.

i wish she lived closer. i mean granted she is only 30-40 minutes away but when i get out of work so late and have the limited time to hang out and she is sick and tired, it sucks :(

we are planning her wedding for either next summer of February 2012. i think baby and wedding in one year might be too much.

the crazy thing is, this is V, my ex best friend, that i wasnt talking to because of my Ex T, and i reunited with her in March. She was supposed to get married this year and i wouldnt have been in the wedding because we weren't friends. But (unfortunately) it got called off and we started talking again and she met this new guy, whom she is going to marry and is having the baby with.

i am just glad that after all that heart ache and shit she went through that i wasnt there for, i can be there for her now during these times and all these crazy life changes. its a good feeling to know that i can be there and i can continue making up all this time that i owe her and when she needs people now.
