Hi I only want to share this really wonderful and happy felling:

I'm pregnant

Yes!!! I took 2 test and were positive, I have an appointment today with my doctor I want to be sure a 100% and to know how many weeks.. But I'm just so excited.. Now I know how's the feeling of being a mother and carrying a little thing inside.

If anyone have an advice for first time mommy's feel free to contact me, I'm so happy but also super nervous

WHOO HOO!!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Advice from a new mommy

- Get TONS of rest and GO EASY on yourself.
- TAKE PICTURES of yourself pregnant. I ducked every camera & now I am sad that I don't have many pictures to show her when she grows up. I was vain & it was stupid.
- Splurge on the $200 and get a 3D/4D Ultrasound. Not covered by insurance but REALLY cool & it'll be something great to show the baby years from now. (Pics in my album).
- Do not tell anyone the name(s) you pick. Keep it to yourselves. It can be your little secret. Besides, people are RUDE and will say 'oh I hate that name' or 'I knew a slut with that name.' Save yourself the aggravation.
- Do not freak out about getting a crib. You won't need one until a year from now. Literally.
- As tempted as you will be, try not to buy too many baby clothes. Why? Because EVERYONE on God's green earth is going to give you baby clothes as gifts. EVERYONE.
- Take a deep breath & smile. People are going to stop you in the streets and want to give you advice. They will tell come up to you in restaurants & tell you not to eat that. They will say you are too big, too small, so swollen, must be a boy, looks like twins, etc... Let it roll off your shoulders. They don't mean any harm.
- DO NOT wear shirts that say 'I'm not fat, I'm pregnant' or I will come there & slap you
- Go out on dates with DH. Enjoy this time together. Your life is about to change & it'll be wonderful.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!!
