I had my first inexplicable crying episode last night. My pug, Chubbs, wouldn’t let me pet him. All he wanted to do was play and all I wanted to do was cuddle with him. Therefore, I proceeded to bawl about how my puppy doesn’t love me anymore. He came up to me and started licking my face, which made me cry harder. I feel like i have PMS on steriods.
I’ve only had two weird cravings so far: Cantaloupe and mustard (but not to be eaten together). Baby Berto knows what he/she wants. I was reading in my pregnancy books that cantaloupe is high in most of the vitamins that babies need during pregnancy. It’s awesome that Baby is telling me what it wants. Mustard, however, has no explanation. I don’t think it really needs one:)
I haven’t had any aversions to food yet, except the usual: fungus and mold (ie Bleu Cheese and Mushrooms). I just hope I don’t start to hate ice cream or peanut butter, that would be terrible!
I woke up one Sunday morning about 2 weeks ago and I just knew. I’ve heard about women who knew they were pregnant before peeing on a stick, but I never believed it until now. As soon as we got up that morning, I sent Eric to the store for the pee stick. Unfortunately, Safeway keeps them behind the pharmacy counter, next to the Sudafed, and the pharmacy was still closed. I was half-expecting them to request a copy of his driver’s license 
We went Christmas shopping that day and planned to pick up a pee-stick along the way somewhere. We ended up at Costco, so I thought I’d pick up a 24-case of home pregnancy tests. Luckily, they actually had 4-packs. Thankfully, I only needed one!! When we got home, I had to pee so bad I was doing a pee-pee dance like a four-year-old, waiting for Eric to open the package.
As you can probably guess, we got two lines on the pee stick. So, in disbelief, i drank a bunch of water so i could pee again. The second one was positive too! I almost used the other two pee sticks, just to make sure. After all, we had bought a Costco size package
It’s hard to believe we are already six weeks along. Our Baby Berto is about the size of a peanut now, and probably even has little buds for arms and legs (and a penis, hopefully).
Welcome to our little journey.
As you may have guessed, we’re going to have a baby and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Let me be clear:
OK, now that that’s out of the way, I am so beyond excited for this. You see, we’re ready.
We’re ready for crying.
