Baby on board, Just a loud update..really

Now that I'm back.. yet again..
I have finally settled down and moved into my own apartment. I have collected a steady mate, he's mine and no one can have him! He's a cutie too!
And I am pregnant!! woo!! this will be my first child. Still in the first trimester.. and boy.. I can tell.
So, for now, no highland dance  just too strenuous for my body. But, I still continue in the Scottish National dances.. flatfoot though; and I still dance medievally.. the really calm ones.
I do get dizzy quite a bit and nausea.. expected.. but supposed to go away. I have also given up camping for the next two months. I can't seem to get comfortable.. and when I do.. don't you dare move me!!!! HAH!
Oh yeah, my tasebuds are on strike now too. I don't even like chocolate anymore!! whaaaaaa!!!!!!
but, other than that.. i love it
I just keep thinking.. yeah, in 2 years, this kid is learning how to dance!
by the way, I got a teaching gig in April at our local arts center for highland dance!! woooo!

Well let me be the first to Congradulate you.  

Falachaidh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!! I wish you, your baby and Daddy the very best!!

There is nothing like the warmth of a new-born baby in your arm and I am sure that you are going to make an awesome Mommy as well as Dance Mom!!!  

   Well Congratulations!!!
New members are always nice no matter how we have to get them.

A new baby, how wonderful!  Just like Mac said, there is nothing on God's earth that is more wonderful and precious than a baby.  Be sure and take your prenatal vitamins.  When is your due date?  I hope your nausea goes away and you get your appetite back.

C ongrats.  As been said before a new baby is a wonderful thing.  

well i've had a bit of a rough week. insurance denying me. my current policy cancelled me. this whole thing.. pre-existing condition. wow. i thought if it was pre-existing, it would have already been happening?? what is it with insurance companies? don't they know how much money they can make on a baby??
anyways, at a total loss, i went to the local health department. I was totally surprised. This place is clean, beautiful and extremely helpful.  Wait, I have to repeat.. extremely helpful.
I've been told so many stories about my local health department, and they're all good! I had my first appointment last week and finally got my vitamins. Just one big pill. ick!
I also got a goodie bag with videos, book, and all this try-me stuff. Oh yes, and tons of coupons!
I got a due date of June 25th. I've already had a sonogram and got to see the heartbeat. Though, they wouldn't let me keep the pictures
I do hope the nausea goes away. It seems to come in spurts. no pun intended *eww* today is bad, but yesterday, virtually none at all  
ok. i'm so ready for another nap!
thanks for all the good wishing
I bought my first pair of maternity clothing yesterday!! A nice pair of black stretchy pants, belled at the bottom.  

Oh Falachaidh, I wore bells back in the 70's, actually hip-huggers.  Now my 8 year old granddaughter wears them all the time.  My daughter no.2, just had a baby in August, she was sick quite a bit the whole time she was pregnant and kept the heartburn.  Just wait til you feel him/her kick you for the first time.  It is so wonderful!

Take Care,

HAHA! This music is great!

I remember my mom wearing bells and hip huggers and platform boots.. and all those merged into a slim-lined 80's style. Now I heard the 80's are coming back!
At Target last night, I almost bought a pair of boots.. brown supple leather, patchworked with a slight platform and block heel. I thought better of my balance being off.. so I decided not to get them!

I do have to say the heartburn never goes away unless I eat a frosty from Wendy's. LOL! But then it just returns. Must be going.

Congrats Julia!  Babies are quite a handful, and I as much as I enjoy being a mother, I am glad that I am out of the "baby business" - I much prefer to wait for the grandbabies to come now!

Bell Bottoms, OMG!  
A cracker on your nitestand, which you eat, before getting up, should help with the nausea. Peppermint candies sometimes helps the heartburn.

Julia, I forgot to add crongrats to Travis - I am sure he is a very proud papa!  

When I was preggers with my first one I craved Frosties  and french fries from Wendy's. Something about the cold and sweet juxtaposed against the hot and salty...my husband would go to the drive thru and order a whole meal - Frosty, fries, and a double burger because he was too embarrassed to order just the fries and frosty!    Men can be so silly sometimes!!

Will pass the congrats on

So far I've only asked him to go get me tacos at 9pm. Which, of course, he didn't. Don't worry though.. he's paying now

LOL!!!

THe saltines have been by th ebed for about a week now. I have to agree a frosty from Wendy's is the greatest thing ever created! I've already figured out *that* smell I can't stand.. bacon in the morning. UCK!!!!! It's just too much!

I went to my checkup today and everything came out very healthy and normal. I'm very happy.

Well, off to dance!

Do you know if your baby is a boy or girl yet? Is it too soon to know?
