What NOT to say to a pregnant woman!

Over the very few weeks I've been pregnant I have noticed people want to tell you everything you should or should not be doing. I welcome all positive information, however I have ran into a few incidents were some people didn't know....." What NOT to say to a pregnant woman" so here you go!


No names will be mentioned to protect the identity of those who are guilty! Haha!

1. "Wow, your getting big! your already showing!"
2. "I know if my hair looked like that I would feel better having it highlighted"
3. "What did you eat?"
4. " I have a friend who was hateful and never smiled the whole time she was pregnant, maybe your like her?"
5. " You know those chips are going to make you gain weight."
6. " You need Carrot Sticks instead."
7. " Sure is going to be hot in August!"
8. " Are you having twins?"
9. "You'll loose the weight!"
10. " Shes happy as long as I throw sweet tarts at her!" (sorry Jon!) haha

1st Doctor's Appointment!

Well...Today was a pretty exciting day! Its first of all my birthday and it is also our first doctor's appointment! We woke up bright and early (for me and Jon) and went to St. Vincents! My doctor is Dr. Stone @ Sharp and Stone. The first thing they did was of course weigh me....SCARY!haha! Then had me go back and wait in the waiting room with Jon. Then we were called back to the ultrasound room, we got to see little baby Miller and hear the little heartbeat and also got a picture of the little Lima bean!!haha It was great!! As of Tuesday Jan.12Th I will be exactly 8 weeks pregnant and our due date is set for August 24Th! Dr. Stone met with us and answered a few of mine and Jon's questions and he also wrote me a prescription for some new nausea meds. After meeting with Dr. Stone I had to get some blood taken. They took 6 things of blood!! I was fine until we got in the car... I started getting a little queasy so we just stopped and got me a chicken biscuit and that perked me right up! All around it was a great first trip!
