Look how fast they grow!

11w5d

Since our last u/s which was at 7w2d our little blob is now a baby!  Arms waving, stretching and rolling and the whole nine yards.  We have been told the nub is a girl nub but we won't know for sure for another 8 weeks or so!  Look at 'her', I can't wait to meet our child!

Happy Father's Day

Just a quick Happy Father's day to all the dads out there.  Have a great day!

My first CSA share!

It's week 5 for the local CSA and my first week because I applied after they filled up but she opened up 10 more places this week so I snapped it up!
This week I got:-

1 head Savoy Cabbage
1 head Iceberg Lettuce
2 Types of leaf lettuce
Spinach (and lots of it!)
Kale
Beets
Cauliflower
Broccoli
1 Zucchini
2 Onions
Rhubarb
Sugar Snap Peas

My share is $15 a week and it runs through the Fall.  I can't wait to see what we will get next week.  I know we will be eating a LOT of salads this week!!

Yuck!

I really am not a big fan of the first trimester.  First you have so many unknowns and uncertainties and if you, like me have ever had any first trimester losses or beyond, you will know it is VERY stressful.  Second the nausea...oh how I hate thee.  I can't cook because smells make me nauseas, I can't eat because everything sounds disgusting.  and Third, pure exhaustion!  I can't get anything done because I am exhausted all the time!  I can deal with up every three hours better than this nonsense makes no sense exhaustion!

I am on 400mg of Prometrium for low progesterone which I am pretty sure is what exacerbates the last 2 symptoms.  I also have so much spotting this pregnancy I am plain tired and frustrated.  Oh how I wish I was in the 2nd trimester already!

7w 3d

Here is Dot at 7w 3d and the heart is now at 143 bpm  Amazing what 4 days makes!

6w 5d

6w 5d Baby Dot!

And food is the last ting on my mind right now, nausea kicks in late afternoon and evening which is good I suppose because at least I can just sleep through it!

Double Stroller

I'm a planner.  I try to plan what I can because I want to be prepared in case anything unplanned happens.  KWIM?  Well since we started TTC again I have been looking for a double stroller since we will be using it for a couple of years at least.  Especially for family walks and the likes.  I was seriously disappointed in the offerings out there.  I loathe Baby Trend and Graco because they are so poorly made and flimsy.  I went with Britax for DS1 and DS2 both and I will reuse the Britax infant seat for this one.  I did lack a double stroller however and rather than buying another single stroller I wanted something that 1 person could handle.

These are the ones I have shortlisted so far:-

Britax B Ready (June 2010) $499 + $149 for the 2nd seat

Baby Jogger Mini Double $399 + $54 for the adapter bar

There are Pro's and Con's to each but I still haven't decided which one I want and until the B Ready hits the stores next month I won't be able to make my mind up.  I really want to get a hands on comparison before I decide.  I guess we have plenty of time!
