Heads whirling around with all this information you've been reading, take a load off and check out this blog!

As I'm sure everyone who has found out their pregnant, our heads are whirling with questions, ideas, etc etc. (especially the first timers, like me!)  I needed a break from all the seriousness and everything I couldn't do, couldn't eat, couldn't touch.  I was getting to the point where I was about to go to the UPS store, buy a huge package of bubble wrap and wrap myself in it until the baby arrives!  Meanwhile, make my boyfriend learn all sorts of concoctions to make in blender from only clean vegetables and clean fruits and burn all my meat so there's no chance on getting tainted with whatever diseases are lying within.

 Ok, realistically, that isn't going to happen.

 So, I'm quite the avid pinterest user... and no, I have not made a cookie in the microwave in a coffee cup, or am as crafty as all the DIY ideas that are on there, but it's fun to make boards of "yes I will" ideas.  Making my baby board, lol, I came across a website called pregnantchicken.com, and I cannot express how happy I am that I came across it!  It gave me the good ol' laughing till I cry laughs that I really needed after reading a million other parenting/pregnancy sites which literally scared me to the point where I'm about to bronze my vagina since it'll never be the same again (and nevermind the nightmares that have come along with the evening reads, or the really strange, not so comforting dreams).

 If you're anything like me, definitely give it a good read.  She has a lot of blog entries, archives, tips, truth be told stories that aren't sugar coated, yet will make you feel like you're not going insane.  I've even recommended this blog to friends I have who are already moms and say they totally relate to her!  I've even shared this site with my boyfriend, who also thought I was losing my marbles, and he enjoyed it as well.  She does have some tips for Dad's on there!

 Let me know whatcha think!

Thanks!

thanks for the info! as a first timer also I'm reading everything I can find on pinterest and maybe I shouldn't... most blogs talk about what a bloody mess I'll be after... YAY!  after reading those, if I wasn't already pregnant I don't think I'd ever want to be!

i totally agree!  i started crying at the kitchen table and was like "omg, this thing is going to rip me from front to back and it's going to look like a deli counter exploded!!"  Of course, my boyfriend just laughed at me and told me I was being dramatic.. until he read some stuff too and was horrified!!

 That was DH and I last night! He literally had to stop looking for a minute because he was choking on the snack he was trying to eat while scrolling through the photos.
