My Story: How My Little Miracle Came to Be

This is something that has been long and coming. I'm sure I have spoken about it a few times, touched on it once or twice, but never really talked about it. On here anyways. Remember Peacock? There are a few postings of him, but I never actually talked about him or how we met. It was all out of respect to him. His situation.
Ha, where do I really start with this.... Ugh this is going to be long.

Peeing while Pregnant

Peeing before pregnant wasn't even that fun. Now as you're getting bigger, it gets even less fun. Let's start with the first trimester: You will pee a lot during the night. At least that's how it was for me. Second trimester: You will notice your bladder is full more as baby likes to hit and kick it out of it's way. 'Hey ma, I want my room back. Do you mind??' That's how I would like to think it goes any way. Now, fair warning, some of you will pee yourselves. I am very thankful that I am not privy to that pregnancy side effect.

Broccoli Quesadilla??

I would like to think that this will be toddler approved. Because I love it. And if I love it, SweetPea is going to have to eat it. Right? ;)

About a two weeks ago, I bought some broccoli to make Broccoli Cheddar Bites (don't worry at some point I will make this and give you the recipe!!). Needless to say I have not made the bites. I would like to blame it on the fact that my shredder is still lost in transition from moving. Either way I needed to use it, wanted to use it and am kinda craving it.

Peanut Butter

That's what I should call this child in my womb, not SweetPea. All I can think about is peanut butter. Smooth creamy delicious peanut butter. By it's self, on icecream, in icecream, in cookies, in sandwhiches, in smoothies, by it's self. Wait I already said that... It's been...I don't know maybe two weeks since I've had any. Look at me!! I sound like an addict!! Quite literally all I crave, have craved for this whole pregnancy, is peanut butter and avocado.

Pooping.

I really did try to think of another way to title this post. Going the direct route seemed to be the best! Plus I'm sure it will catch your attention. ;)  This is a post for pregnancy and after birth. (another bit of research I've done)

Most pregnant ladies have this problem. I won't lie I've had a day or two where I can't say I've gone. Being constipated can be very uncomfortable and unhealthy. A great way of fighting constipation is to stay hydrated. As well as eat a healthy diet with lots of fiber!

Varicose Veins

Although not very pretty, varicose veins practically affect everyone. Women tend to get them especially when pregnant. But don't worry girls after birth it is 'reported' that most will go away. Varicose Veins are swollen veins, that generally develop or worsen when pregnant. Since pregnant women have a higher blood volume the pressure is pretty high in our legs, since the circulatory system is trying to pump the blood back to our heart.

Baby Research

I have been working on my registry ((almost)) all day. And in just doing that I am fighting off a headache and doing a ridiculous amount of research. Don't worry, I will share quite a lot of it with you!! From diapers, to rash creams, to breast feeding tips, to room décor. It's a bit overwhelming, so I am going to try to keep it sectioned. No promises though. Not to mention I will revise it. Fix it, adjust it, and add more to it.

Lets see first off....

SweetPeas Registry

This is going to seem a bit complicated at first, but really this way makes it easier for all of us. I have decided to do a registry on Pinterest. I am on a tight budget, just like I know all of you are. Not to mention, I would rather be as local (for all areas), as low impact to the environment and as budget friendly as possible. Here are a few very important things to keep in mind:

Unknown Exhaustion and Pain Relief

Last night I went to a prayer meeting with some girlfriends at a fantastic local coffee shop! But about half an hour into our get together little miss SweetPea would not stop pushing up on part of my ribs. I was pushing and prodding back to no avail. New mommas let me tell you, that is very almost painfully uncomfortable. My biggest fear (because I know a woman this happened to) is that she may brake or crack one of my ribs.

New Immigration Bill

I am really glad I was able to coax myself out of bed this morning and have the chance to watch my local news. Just before it was over they touched on the new immigration law. It was great to see a well dressed Asian young man speak passionately on wanting to become a citizen, wanting to contribute.
