First Trimester Symptoms

Monday, January 30th, 2006

Here is a rundown of the wonderful first trimester pregnancy symptoms I am experiencing still in week 12:
Hunger
This is my most prevalent symptom. My hunger, typically until around 11am, is nearly insatiable. I have often woken up in the middle of the night and had to have a teeny bowl of cereal in [...]

Sportsmobaby

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

We are expecting delivery of our Sportsmobile sometime around late March, early April. We are really really excited and looking forward to it.
