I have something to share.....Update#2
 
I wanted to make a formal announcement to let GC know that I am ...........18 weeks pregnant with my first child!:) :) :D :D
Although this was a complete surprise ( a happy accident, I say)
I am completely ready and very anxious to start my life as a mother! I've already had one ultrasound at 12 weeks, but that was just to hear his/her heartbeat. It was amazing! My REAL ultrasound is scheduled for the 26th, so I'll find out whether this little munchkin is a girl or boy! I haven't really begun to show yet. I have a tummy, but I always really have. I haven't felt the baby move just yet, I can't wait. I've been having a tough time with morning, noon and night sickness. Everyone keeps telling me it'll pass, but it hasn't yet (boo)
That's ok! Small price to pay!:D

I'll keep updating,
ZTAMiami--mommy-to-be!:D

btw, Moms: please send me all your advice!

Congratulations!! How exciting!!

My advice:

Enjoy your pregnancy. Take lots of pictures! The changes are incredible!!

Rest when you feel tired, even if you feel like a slouch. It's ok to slow down some and even tap naps if you feel like it.

Get some books on birthing techniques. Or, when the time draws near take a birthing class. FYI, What to Expect When You're Expecting is a good resource.

Think about breastfeeding ~ whether you want to do it as well as the benefits, techniques, and problems relating to breastfeeding. Not all babies are receptive to the breast and this can be really emotionally trying for a new mom. There are support groups out there for women who experience this but want to continue trying.

Know that everyone's birthing experience is different. Take any and all "horror" stories with a grain of salt.

Know how you want to approach your birthing experience ("natural" chilbirth vs. Epidural, family/friends in the labor/delivery room, "rooming-in" option at the hospital, etc.) and discuss it with your doctor. Be prepared for the unexpected. Inevitably, babies do their own thing. :p

Don't be afraid to NOT follow the advice of "veteran" parents. ;)

Before baby comes, decide how you want to spend the first few days at home with baby. Do you want close family/friends to visit and help out at that time? Would you rather spend those first days alone with your brand new family?

When the baby arrives, sleep when he/she sleeps. You'll need the rest.

Wasn't it absolutely AMAZING the first time you got to hear baby's heartbeat???? It floored me; I was like....whoa, there's a person in there!!!!!

I'm so happy for you :)

And as I told PenguinTrax, if its a boy, I'll gladly write a letter of rec in about 18 years. lol.

All my best for you both in health and happiness.
