I haven't seen that commercial but it sounds too funny!  It's pretty yummy.  I always get the light swiss kind and it doesn't have as strong of a taste as regular swiss cheese but it's very easy to spread on crackers, bread, or whatever else you like.

You eat so healthy!  That's something that I am still working on.  I have been terrible about giving into my cravings.  My main concern right now is trying to drink enough water.  I get dehydrated really easily but have a hard time drinking enough water.

I really wanted take-out tonight but I'm settling for spaghetti at home. 

I have been wanting a Carvel cake since you mentioned it.  Thankfully, there's no occassion coming up anytime soon. 

Great job on going to the gym today, le_cabinet!

I was told not to stand up or sit down for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time because of circulation.  Basically, if I have been sitting down for a couple hours get up and walk around.  Or if I have been standing for X amount of time, sit down for a bit. 

The pain of labor is definitely worth the outcome.  :)  I was so scared with my 1st pregnancy.  But when the time came, it's not as bad as you think it would be but it was pretty darn painful.  (The epidural helped )  My pain tolerance is a lot higher now though after giving birth. 

Morning Ladies!

After Vanessa mentioned Calcium yesterday, I decided to take a look at mine and realized that I was under the 1000mg recommended.  My prenatals have 200mg, so really I just need to be sure to get at least 800mg.  I had a glass of Tropicana OJ with Calcium this morning and now have around 350mg.  :)  (I'm not much of a milk drinker)

I think my morning sickness is returning.  I felt sick the past two mornings.  Hopefully it doesn't stick around for long. 

For some reason, people feel that you are "free game" to their comments, looks, and even belly touches when you are pregnant.  I haven't quite understood that yet. 

Personally, I prefer to stay away from caffeine altogether.  I know that there is a healthy range to stay in but I'm the type of person that it's easier to just give it up then limit it.  I should do that with all the junk food. 

And I felt like pregnancy aged me, too.  After the baby is born though you start returning back to normal.  I would still bring up all your aches and pains to your doctor though.  I developed carpal tunel with my first pregnancy and while it is has gotten better, I still have it unfortunately. 

At least you love being pregnant... But I bet you can't wait to hold that precious baby!

Good Morning!

Spotting can be common but uncommon at the same time.  In any case, it is important to always contact your doctor if you do experience bleeding as it is better safe than sorry. 

Hopefully your doctor calls you back soon!  Do they have an emergency contact number listed to page your doctor? 

I am in my 11th week now and the nausea is coming back at random times but it disappeared in my 9th and 10th week. 

I heard the heartburn at my first doctor's appt which was about 7/8 weeks along so it's not too early. 

I can only imagine how worried you were during that whole week, Vanessa!

What an awesome deal Cecily!

I want to get a round baby crib for this baby but they are so hard to find at a reasonable price.  Thankfully we have a few months before we start worrying about that.  :)

I went shopping this morning and found about 7 shirts that actually fit with room to grow in.  They are normal shirts but thankfully the style now is the "pregnancy" shirts where there is room to grow, so I should be good for most of the 2nd trimester.  

It's hard to believe that next week is my 12th week and the next week I'll be entering into the 2nd trimester.
