It's funny how that once everyone finds out you are with child, you totally are now labeled and stereotyped. I was excited of telling people and still am; however, it's semi annoying when everyday at least 2-3 people pass by my cubicle (some I do not even know) and ask "what are you craving?" "are you moody?" "can it move yet?" etc. At times I bask in the glow of the attention and I know that everyone loves a pregnant lady! But.. is it now what defines me?
In other news, I have been having some peculiar dreams. I read in a few books that some pregnant women have crazy dirty sex dreams. I haven't been as lucky yet but I have had so many weird ones. The other night I dreamed that a girl I didn't care for in high school started working at my office and she started stalking me. When I tried to hide from her as she was walking my way, singing a song about me - she found me and gave me a gift - a can of chunky chicken noodle soup poured into my palms.
I'm in the "honeymoon stage" of my pregnancy now where I am tired but don't feel preggo. I have been checking the baby's heartbeat every other day now just to make sure he/she is still in there.
Gummi is the baby's nickname for now and he/she is hungry. Must go feed the beast.

Who Knew?
February 7th 2013. Who knew peeing on a stick at 5:30 AM would forever change our lives? Sure, we had been talking about it for a while and had technically "prepared" for this; however, in that moment I never felt more unprepared in my entire life.
That morning, I was such a ball of emotions. We both were. I was happy for the coming blessings, sad that it meant everything will change, and absolutely terrified because everything seemed different now and we don't know how we will make it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty proud of the fact that we've kept our cats alive for a few years now, but I'm told that a baby is somewhat different.
That's why I started this blog. Exquisitely Clueless. Not that my husband and I are completely clueless (though he may be) but I'm sure that every first time mom feels this way at first. Maybe this title will change later to "Exquisitely Content" or "Exquisitely Clever" or maybe even "Exquisite Disaster."
For now though, I intend to document our clueless journey to parenthood and figuring out our new place in life.
October 21, 2013. We better get ready.
