have a healthy pregnancy (read all 10 entries…)
Eight weeks 16 hours ago

And my first ultrasound is in 4 days! I can’t wait to get a look at what’s going on in there. Plus I’m getting the H1N1 vaccine too, while I’m there.

I went off my prenatal vitamins on the advice of my nurse, and am now taking a children’s chewable multivitamin instead, plus folic acid separately. Those vitamins were just too much for me: They made me feel nauseated and constipated and crabby. I’m feeling much better now!



get boudoir photos taken (read all 2 entries…)
I have an appointment for a photo shoot tomorrow at 3:45 1 day ago

Yay! Hopefully this will be fun. And it will be cool to have something to look back at and reminisce about how hot I was before my belly started to get huge!



be a better lover (read all 6 entries…)
I think that being a good lover means being extra attentive right now, while I'm pregnant 2 days ago

And not expecting it to be “all about me.”

This is a big change we’re adjusting to, a big change I am a bit more excited about than he is. One of his fears is that he’s somehow expendable in this process, that his part in it is done and now it will just be all the women (and eventually the baby) in the red tent and he’ll be shut out. We need to nip that fear in the bud: both by keeping him in the emotional intimacy loop, and also by keeping him involved in the babymaking process all along, leaning on him, and helping him to see that I couldn’t do this without him!
