Puppy time, yogurt, and tight pants

We went to see Link, the Corgi puppy we are going to bring home April 12, last weekend. He is so cute!! He's a little shy with being held though. Maybe he's just afraid of heights like me!

Shopping last night was interesting. We are going to California this weekend so I'm trying not to buy too many groceries, but we still need enough stuff to get through the week. (Well, I do at least, since I'm apparently supposed to eat every 2 hours now!) I was trying to find yogurt that didn't have sugar as the second ingredient (or that at least had less grams of sugar than the Wegmans brand). I found that Stonyfield Farm's YoBaby yogurt has only 12g of sugar per 4 oz serving, so I decided to try that since it was cheaper than the Wegmans Organic (which had 20g of sugar per 6 oz serving, so it's about the same). Having whole milk yogurt tastes a little weird after having lowfat for so long. I haven't tried the pear yet but the peach is pretty good. I just feel silly eating yogurt that's for babies!

This morning I had to wear my belly band for the first time! It was kind of weird. These pants are normally loose on me but as of today no more! I could get the first button done but that was about it. Plus I didn't want to be uncomfortable all day. Joe says you can't see that they are undone through the layers of fabric but I am still slightly nervous. So far so good though, no one's said "Hey, are your pants undone?"

I almost forgot!

Puppy pictures! (Well, one at least.)

This is Link, our future Pembroke Welsh Corgi! He's a tricolor, and right now he's two weeks old! Wow they are little!

Why am I doing this?

I've been wanting to write about what's going on with me for a while. It's somewhat difficult because I can't/won't tell anyone outside of immediate family that I am, in fact, pregnant. (Having two miscarriages last year put the damper on the telling part. It's not so much what happened as the having to tell people what happened that is the issue.)

This time around, however, things look good. We've worked with an infertility specialist and I'm on progesterone, and so far everything looks okay. My first ultrasound is tomorrow, so that will give us some more information. Why, then, am I trying to hard not to get too excited? Is there some built-in moderating function in my brain that is trying to avoid recreating the hurts of the past by not getting too invested in the future?

However, we are looking forward to the addition of our new doggie in a few months, which is something that is safer to be excited about. His name is Link, he's a tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and he's going to be two weeks old this Sunday. :)

We won't be able to bring him home until the second week of April due to our travel plans, but still, it's exciting all the same! Can't wait to see him this weekend.

In other news: I wore my first pair of maternity jeans ever today. They are really comfortable, and I got them from the Salvation Army, which is even better! I've been a little weirded out by the fact that they tend to slide down (no belt loops) but I'm sure they will be fitting me better in a few weeks or months.

That's it for now. New blog, begin!
