Fake beer :-)

I've been craving beer for a few days now, so I decided to get a 6 pack of Odoul's :-) Even the Hubs is enjoying it!
Yes my dear husband has decided to be a supportive spouse and quit drinking for the entirety of the pregnancy. How many of you have had your spouse give up drinking during your pregnancy? Or have you given it up for your spouse for a different reason?
And guess what? I've finally gotten a belly :-D It's not big by any means yet, but its firm and its out there enough to make people look at me like "is she fat or pregnant?" The dr even made mention of it when I went yesterday for my check up. (all is well- little swelling of the feet, my bp is good and baby's heart rate is between 150-160 bpm)
Maybe I'll post a pic next week ;-)

In other news, we are redoing the bathroom floor in the hall way. It has needed to be done for over a year now, there was a sag right in the middle of the walk way, the lineolum was peeling up and cracking... It was just time. So we decided to replace it with tile. We haven't gotten too far with it, being that we have never done a job like this before, we really have no idea what we are doing. So it's one step, think about the next, watch some youtube videos, hit the hardware store (again) and then step two. Then Repeat. LOL!
But we are learning, and fingers crossed it will look great when we are all done!

I'd like to become a "reviewer"

I would really like to become a review blogger. I know currently I do not have enough followers, or enough blog posts to really even think about being able to provide a company a good promotional review, but I feel like I could be great at it!
I enjoy trying new products out and sharing my thoughts about them with like minded folks :-) I currently am helping a company continue to move forward with their business by giving them constant consistant feedback about an online schduling and bookeeping software system.
I am a review reader currently and love to do my research about products before I purchase them, so I do know what a "bad" review can bring a company, and would strive to either highlight the strengths versus the weaknesses in a product, or, give my review directly to the product manufacturer for their improvement.

So as my blog grows (along with my belly LOL!) I hope to at some point have enough US and Canadian readers to help me get my first product review under my belt :-)
Will you help me get there?
If so- subscribe to my blog!

Not feeling Pregnant...

I latley have not been feeling too pregnant. On a daily basis I don't have any sort of symptoms that really lead me to feel that way. No nausea, no breathlesness, no swollen anything.. well beyond my slightly swollen belly.
Not that I'm complaining! Not at all! I just thought that at this point I'd be feeling more... well... Pregnant. 
I haven't even been feeling much movement latley. not nearly as much as a few weeks ago. Maybe it's just that the space is getting tighter? IDK.

And my husband just told me about a friend of his at work who's wife was due about a week earlier than me, who just miscarried last night. How awful for them...

So I'm kinda (more) nervous now about not feeling pregnant than before, of course. But I get this way between dr visits anyways.
Comeon baby.... kick me again already....

The next American Ninja Warrior

I swear this baby might just be the next one! I've been feeling the LO kick or punch or both since about 10 weeks and today was no different. LO did some sort of Chuck Norris/ Jackie Chan punch/kick combo after work today. It felt so weird! I don't know If i'll ever get over the "whoa that feels weird" thing...

I'm entering a bunch of give aways to try and win some baby products. The links should be on the side bar of my blog here to the other blogs I read if you are interested in entering either for yourself or for someone else you know *ahem MEEEEE?!?!? LOL~

Stardate.... Ah who'm I kidding? I hated startrek!

Hello! I'm creating this blog for a few reasons. The first one is so that I can keep track of great products, blogs, fourms and businesses I love and want to share. The second is to share the progress of my pregnancy with you.
Yep, we did it! Finally after about 3 years of trying on and off, we got our good news about 9 weeks ago (that puts me at about 13 weeks now)
At about 7 weeks we got to see that indeed I am pregnant, and yes it was in the right spot this time. Then at about 9 weeks we got to see the little one's heart beating away <3 And just recently, on our 4th anniversary to be exact- we got to hear the strong LOUD heartbeat together for the first time :-)
I'm not going to make this first post very long as I would like to get my page all set up and figured out, but feel free to comment and let me know you're here or ask any questions!

Be well!
Carolina Mama
