My FIVE pregnancy must haves: #5: Tums, must be the fruit flavored ones!!! With wrangler I didn't need these at all! But not with this little girl, I would say I use them at least once a week. Although it worse when I travel. I think part of this is due to not having a gall bladder this time.
#4: Chick Flicks. Do I need to say more??? All I can say is you know you are pregnant when you what the Justin Beiber movie and Cry!!! Don't judge me!
#3: Mini Sprite drinks, just in case nausea sets in, these are nice to have on the bed stand!
#2: Ritz whole wheat crackers, Love them! The first couple of months these are life savers when your starving or feeling sick to your stomach! And now they are nice to keep handy for church and other outings.


#1: Pregnancy must have SEA BANDS!!!! I will swear by these! With Wrangler I was so much more sick then with this little girl and I wore this around the clock! You can find them at walmart or any other pharmacies. They are used for people who get nausea on cruises. But they work wonders for morning sickness, or all day sickness. They are just a little sweat band with a hard plastic bead that you position on the inside of you wrist, which acts as an acupressure point and gives you instant relief. And the best part about it is its safe because there is no medicine involved. And it only cost about seven dollars. Can you tell I loved them yet???


Well this pregnancy I have had a lot less morning sickness, pretty much none. But I am sure thankful since I am chasing a fourteen month old around the house. Needless to say these are my top five favorites for being pregnant. Hope they can help someone. What are you favorites???

Baby Baby Baby....





So after much debate we have learned the gender of our baby. First we put up the Poll on the blog which favored Girl 7 boy 2. Then we decided to try our hand at the Chinese calendar which once again told us Girl. Then it was on to my cousins old wise tail of baking a cake half pink and half blue and covering it with frosting, spinning it around a bunch and then cutting into it and whatever color you cut first is the gender of your baby... Pink again. So today was or big day and would you be surprised to know its a ....

GIRL!!!


I had a feeling it would be a girl. This pregnancy has been different. For starters I never really go sick this time, at least not throw up sick! Lucky Me! (sorry sister-in-law, you know who you are. But I feel for you) And then when I started to show it was up higher. And the movements this time have been a lot softer, although I am only half way and the doctor with both ultra sounds has been amazed at how active this baby is!!! I think we will have another super active child like Wrangler. So this pregnancy has been really enjoyable, although I have had a lot of Sciatic problems so I have done physical therapy. Oh and I am tired a lot, but what women wouldn't be with a 14month old and a growing baby. Needless to say we are super grateful and thankful. And I can't wait to shop, shop, shop and craft, craft, craft for this little girl!!!
