My mood while writing this blog: uneasy

It seems like there is not anything to report on. I'm a little nervous that since I'm not having any symptoms, something may be wrong. Perhaps I am over reacting but it's hard not to. I woke up this morning and I had a pooch at my stomach. I usually attribute any pooch to gas or indigestion but this was different. It was more like a baby pooch. My fat jeans are starting to get a little tight around the waist now and all my other jeans are too small already. I hope it's not twins! I don't think I can handle twins. My DH wants twins, a boy and a girl so he can go get a visectomy already. I am really glad he is so practical. My ex fiance was the stupidest man. When I mentioned visectomy he got all offended like I wanted to take away his manhood. He was insistent that I would be the one to undergo surgery. I'm glad I'm not with him. Anyway, twins sounds like a good idea but I am only one person with only two hands and I definitely won't be able to work with twins. It's probably better on paper than in reality.

So, still no morning sickness which is good, but I talked to my aunt and she said that her morning sickness kicked in in the sixth week so I still have my hopes up but we will see. I find that I feel sick if I don't give myself time to wake up before I jump out of bed. I also started eating plain yogurt with sugar free metamucil mixed in and taking some fiber supplements because just like the baby books said, I started getting blocked up. I still have another month until my appointment and then we will see what is going on with little baby. I don't really see the point in going any earlier since you can't really see much on a sonogram at that point and I might as well get all my tests done in one appointment.

Question: I have been making my baby registry and I'm wondering how much stuff is too much or too little. So far I have, I think 35 items on the list and I think that is all I'm going to put on there. If it's too much there are some things I can take off or if it's too little, there are some baby clothes that I thought were cute that I could add. Anyway, if anyone wants too look at it go to amazon.com/baby and click on registry. My last name is Tooker. The other thing is that I'm not picking out crib stuff because we're not using a regular crib and if we do end up using it, we already have some bedding that is handed down to us. I don't know, I just need advice because I don't know what I'm doing. I know it's early, but that's the point, I want to have enough time to get it right before my family looks and possibly disapproves.
