OK so I'm in my 5th week and it's funny but I keep checking the toilet paper for spotting. I know I'M prego but I guess I'M still in shock! I'M really looking into natural birth and it's not as scary as I thought it might be, well at least not yet. I did a lot of research today on what is going on with the baby and what it looks like and all that and I can't believe that it is already busy with 3 layers forming. The outer layer will develop into the nervous system, and the inner layer will become the liver, pancreas, intestines, and bladder. The middle layer, is developing into the heart and circulatory system, which will be the first organs to function in the baby. Isn't that wild? You all may already know this but I didn't do much research with Ayda and it's been kinda fun learning so much. I must be bloating also or I got somewhat chubby these past few days, because my jeans are getting tight and it hurts to bend over in them. One of the ladies I babysit for told me about this thing called the Babyband. I guess you can wear some of your regular jeans for a while before you have to buy the new maternity ones. With the Babyband you can unbutton and unzip your pants and put this band thing around your waste and it keeps your pants up and also hides the button and zipper button through your shirt that you would have without the band. Cool huh?! I'M so going to look into that, cause I have a feeling that I will be needing to buy a couple of sizes as I get bigger, blah!
So I was freaking out cause yesterday I ate some smoked oysters, I know some of you may think that is gross but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Anyway, I thought dang I wasn't suppose to have fish things cause of the mercury in them. Well come to find out I guess it's only raw fish or large fish. But smaller things like shrimp and oysters and Sardines are actually a good thing to eat once in a while. They help with the growth of some of the major organs in the baby during the 1st trimester. So wooosh, I feel a lot better. I have noticed that my eating habits have changed a lot though. I don't need to eat as much to feel full. I had some of those sardines for dinner and an orange, strange dinner huh? But I couldn't finish the sardines or the orange. That happened yesterday with the real dinner I made, I could only eat half of what I dished up. I sooo hope this is a start of a better eating habit for me. Anyway, IM soooooooo taking forever on this blog.
Love ya!!

fyi, instead of buying a band you can use a hairband or a rubber band. Just put it through the hole and hook around the pant's button. It works just as well!
I hope you keep up on the blogging...Since you're so far away, it's a great way to share in the experience with you. Miss you woman!
I love that you are already blogging more. I think we traded places or something because now I'm the blog slacker!
Anyway I wasn't grossed out about the oysters but sardines? Really??? Like from a... can???? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I did to Jen, well I wanted to. But I hear it's realy good for the baby in the first trimester. So I I got over it.
