"What to Expect When Expecting"


So I FINALLY got the book. I was waiting for my sister to give me hers but she couldn't find it, so I bought the digital version from Google Books.

It's GREAT!!! Especially since I can read it on the computer or my phone, anytime I'm waiting in the Dr's office or anywhere really, I can read the book.

I've been reading it non-stop for like the past week and I learned SO MUCH!!

I'll admit, even though I was craving a lot of fruit and everything I still had the occasional Burger King and Taco Bell. (Maybe more than the occasional) But, when I went to the Dr. I actually lost another pound.

I still want to ensure I'm eating the best things to give my baby the best chance at life. This book is the bible on pregnancy, I swear!!! After reading it, especially about the nutrition, I am being a lot more cautious about what I eat. Especially since the Dr. said I lost weight I'm going to start adding health fats to my diet so I can gain weight slowly and healthy.

And I'm hungry now so I'm going.

I Forgot!!

I forgot to post this....lol!!

The Confession


Facebook and Twitter are two of the biggest online communities in the world. They have the potential to make you famous, connect you with loved ones and yes, ruin your reputation.

It's funny that I have a blog for my journey through pregnancy but no one knows about it, at least not anyone I know. It's almost like a personal diary of sorts. 

Anyway, I haven't made the famed "Facebook announcement" about my pregnancy yet, especially since I have everyone from high school friends to family in the Bahamas as my friends on Facebook. Twitter is a little safer since I only have a few people I know following me and many I don't know, yet I am still having second thoughts about my "confession" about my "condition" on either social network.

So far none of the people I've told (close friends, immediate family) have let the truth slip. This is why I told them. They could be trusted and allow me to make the announcement on my own terms.

My sister says people usually make the announcement around their 3 month, which I'm actually official 12 weeks today, but I’m still holding back.

I guess since me and my boyfriend aren't married yet and I've seen so many of my high school classmates have children out of wedlock, I didn't want to be in "that crowd".

I know time have change and this is becoming more common place but I think my mother gave me a complex about that stuff. I'm totally excited about my pregnancy or I wouldn't have marked the event with blog and video entries. I dunno. Excuse the first sentence though, I don't feel that the pregnancy will ruin my reputation but I will be put in the box of classmates, having kids, not married, and still no job in their field.

Still contemplating what to do here, guess I’ll just wait.
