Hair Anyone?

I'm gonna need for the hair on my stomach...to kindly make its way to my head. Seriously. I heard that hair would grow in weird places......but I look like a freaking bear!

First official official sonogram tomorrow...can't wait!

Updated Due Date

Soo I haven't had my official sonogram yet...that won't be until the 21st of this month. But at my doctor's appointment on the 9th I asked for a small ultrasound..just so that I could see my baby. OMG...i kept telling myself not to cry..but when she zoomed in on the heart and I saw that little light flickering.......I lost it. Its still pretty surreal to me that I'm finally carrying my angel...

Anyway she measured the baby and gave me the actual date...I was 9 weeks 3 days on the 9th...which.....counting back the days (7 weeks and 3 days -- take off 2 weeks for the last period -- ...hits it right on the nose for when I conceived..I dare him to say something about not being the father....) NEWHOO CONTINUING ON...... My inital due date that I calculated based on my last period alone was January 11th..but with the actual age of the baby..I'm due on the 9th.

I'm soo excited :)

((I updated my ticker at the top as well))

"Aaawww! You're Glowing!"

-_-

Am I really?

What is this "glow" you speak of? Because personally....Unless you're talking about the excess oil and acne making my face more noticable...I have yet to notice a glow.

OMG..my face staaaays oily. I have no idea what product I can use to keep at bay even for at least a hour. I now wash my face 3 times a day and use my toner every chance I get.

The acne wasn't as bad as it was a few weeks ago...but the oil.....huuuuuunnnneeeeey......idk what to do.
Does anyone recommend a product?? I can literally moisturize my whole body with the oil from my face.

Not even laughing. -_-

EDIT 6/2/10 : I forgot I had my Dark Angels Cleanser from LUSH. That stuff used to dry my face OUT b4 I got pregnant....so I'm going to try that and see how it goes.

Pregnancy Brain

Sooo this morning I went to work and tried to swipe myself in with my EBT card...by the time I realized what I was doing, I was soo pissed off and frustrated. It took me at least 5 swipes to think to look at the card to make sure it was the right one...smh.

ZzzzZZZZzzzz....

I'm pretty sure you've been wondering why I haven't posted anything since my first post. Um...I've been sleeping! Boy they were not lying when they said fatigue, fatigue, fatigue.

Well I can't complain tooo much..that's probably the only symptom I've been experiencing. Well besides the feeling of my tummy stretching,and the hurting boobs. But...I'm just happy I';m amongst the few that has no morning sickness (*looks around makes sure no one heard me...don't want to jinx myself*).

I'll be 7 weeks on Tuesday....2 more weeks until I'm 9 weeks...aka until I start my 3rd month...aka the last month of my first trimester! Hmm...when I think about it that way...time is going faster than I thought ;)

I'm...Expecting?

May 11, 2011. Officially 7 days late for my period and officially "wondering". After several occassions of being late for my period by a couple of days..I thought nothing this time around when it didn't come on the 4th like it was supposed to. But I didn't want to test just yet.
After being disappointed several times...I decided to hold out until the 7th day this time.
I went to Rite-Aid because they was having a sale on the EPT pack of 2 for only $9.99..but of course they were sold out -_-. I settled for the $10.99 Answer brand pregnancy test thinking that if I'm really pregnant ... 1. I'm 7 days late..my HCG levels should be through the roof and it really doesn't matter what test I use...if im pregnant...im pregnant.
Went home and had to wait a couple hours to test because I had just peed b4 I went to the store. So around 9pm...I took the test with me to the bathroom...did the whole pee on the stick thing..blah blah blah..and set it aside so i could finish handling my business. The whole time I'm thinking "I'm not pregnant...my period is jus gonna be REALLY late". Nope. I picked that test up and saw 2 lines.

Imagine how shocked I was..The one time I set myself up for a negative...i get a positive.

So the journey begins. The mood swings. The fatigue. The peeing every 30 seconds. The nausea. Oh joy. Me and my almond are gonna have a very fun filled 9 months.
