Welcome to Mommyhood!

Here it comes! Mommyhood, with all it's glorious perks including poopy diapers, giggles, and sleepless nights.

This is my first pregnancy and it has been quite a journey so far! We have about 10 and a half weeks left until our EDD (Estimated Due Date) of April 10th, 2014. We learned we were expecting at 3 weeks and 6 days! We have had plenty time to prepare and get very excited. Learning I was pregnant so early I was able to start eating better, stop indulging in that glass of red wine, cut out sushi, and start taking prenatal vitamins all at 4 weeks pregnant.

From the very beginning I have had just about every symptom in the book! From Morning Sickness to Pregnancy Brain and everything in between.
  • Heartburn
  • Sleepless nights
  • Going to the bathroom every 20 minutes
  • Crazy pregnancy dreams
  • Hot flashes
  • A pain in my butt (literally) 
  • Leg cramps
  • Forgetfulness
  • And a whole bunch of other things I can't remember ;)

My greatest pregnancy brain moment was the day I accidentally used my Sister's phone number in place of my social security number. Oh boy! And that was just the beginning!

This is just the beginning of my journey into Mommyhood and I can't wait to share what I learn along the way.

  1. What a great idea to share your experience & what you learn with others. A lot has changed since I became a first-time Mommy back in 1976! I have already learned so much from you & your journey to Motherhood. I can't wait to hold my first granddaughter in my arms! Love Mom
