Burp Baby Burp (11 weeks/1 day)

Unfortunately I’m not talking about burping a baby in my title – I’m talking about myself!  My new found talent is burping/belching and letting it all out through my mouth.  Luckily there is no after taste or smell, but they can be loud and proud!

I’m over 11 weeks pregnant so I assume it comes with the territory.  Each day is a new day and a newly learned skill.  Baby Turner is moving, grooving and doing his/her own thing.  He/she gets the activeness from me so I’ll take full responsibility!

Insomnia, Lifetime Movies and John Grisham (10weeks/ 4days)

Insomnia – no like

Lifetime movies at 3:00am – no like

Any book by John Grisham – LOVE!

I haven’t been able to sleep at night and that’s not fun.  I don’t make up for it during the day and that’s not fun either.  There is absolutely nothing on television to watch at 3:00am in the morning!  I’m actually in Fort Benning, GA right now waiting to watch Milton graduate from Airborne School.  It’s a little intimidating to be on an Army post without knowing where I can and can’t come, but I hope to see Milton soon- and hopefully one day get a good night’s sleep!

World’s Largest Uterus? (9 weeks/1 day)

Nobody said that being pregnant was 100% cute.  Actually, if you ask most women, they’ll tell you the didn’t really like being pregnant and it’s highly overrated.

In addition to the regular funky symptoms like nausea and tiredness, I’ve also noticed that I’ve been most constipated.  Talk about you at your “not best” – there are no pretty faces that you make when pregnant.

I also have had mild cramps lately and the ever-so-informative Google told me that (as long as there is no bleeding), it’s normal because my uterus is expanding.  For a couple of days I felt like I was in the running for the world’s largest uterus ’cause those pains kept on coming. That just means Baby Turner is coming further along and is cooking just fine!

Formal Dress Dilemma (8 weeks/ 6 days)

IUS Chancellor’s Medallion 70th Anniversary – attire: formal.

I love dressing up mostly because I love dresses.  I’m not really a girlie girl so it doesn’t take me long to get dressed to go out.  I gave myself 30 minutes to get ready and all was well UNTIL I started trying on dresses.  Project fail went into full effect!

Belly Tricks (8 weeks/ 5 days)

When you’re pregnant and you look at your belly everyday, you often find random and strange things about yourself.  I realized this one Friday night, yes Friday night.  I want to entitle it “Pregnant Woman Gone Wild”.

Pregnancy Cravings….. (8 weeks/ 3 days)

Sometimes being pregnant leads you to things that you’ve never thought of before.  I found this to be my case as I walked down the grocery store isle!
