June 2015 Mommy-to-Be Favorites

June means it's almost the end of my first trimester (yay!) and it means it's also time to share my first favorites post as a mommy-to-be! These favorites will definitely be different from the monthly favorites on my other blog, as this blog is all from a first time mommy-to-be's point of view. Ready?

NatureMade Prenatal Vitamins +DHA... so obviously being pregnant for the first time, I know nothing about prenatal vitamins but I seem to have made the right choice with this one. it hasn't made me sick once (except for the time I took it just BEFORE I ate breakfast- BIG no no)

The Republic of Tea 'get maternal'... I was actually drinking this tea way before I even conceived. I used it to regulate my cycle after getting off of birth control and also to deal with cramps. Since I found out I was expecting, I've been drinking a cup everyday.

Domino's Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich... this has been my craving so far. I order at least 2 every weekend lol. I modify it because it has feta cheese on it and that is on the list of foods pregnant women should avoid- it's a good thing I don't even like feta!

Lance Cream Cheese & Chives Crackers... there were times when my food aversions took over but I needed to eat because I was super hungry. These were my go-to snack, especially when those late night hungries (yes, I said hungries lol) took over.

Pineapple... no description necessary! It was my sweet treat of choice (and still is) during these past couple of months.

Canada Dry Ginger Ale... yes, I am very particular about my ginger ale and this is the ONLY brand I drink! It has been a life saver on many a day (morning, noon & night)- enough said.



I honestly think I might enjoy writing these kinds of favorites more! I can't wait to share next month's favorites with you.

Coming January 2016...

Welcome to my second blog! Honey Brown Baby is an extension of my main blog, Honey Brown Beauty. I decided to start this new one because...

I'M GOING TO BE A MOMMY!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited? lol

I found out on April 30th, 3 days after my 34th birthday- talk about a wonderful gift! What could be more beautiful than finding out that you're going to be a mommy?! So I am obviously super excited!! I typed this when I first found out that I was expecting (I was a little over 3 weeks along) but I am currently 12 weeks pregnant.

I know that everything you read tells you that you absolutely cannot know you're pregnant until you've missed your period, taken a hpt and had it confirmed by a doctor but I knew very early on and started doing research that convinced me even more that I was right.

I felt very nauseous April 17th- 13 days before my period was due, which was strange for me... I never dealt with nausea during any point of my normal cycle. I also had a dream that same morning that I was riding with my dad (who is in heaven) on this strange cliff by the beach... he was having some difficulty handling the curves on this cliff and I thought we were going to end up driving off the cliff. Why am I mentioning this dream? Well, I came across a site that said pregnant women have strange dreams, often about driving and water! Coincidence? I think not. And the fact that my dad was the one driving may have been his way of letting me know that I was expecting and wanting to be part of this special time in my life.

I am now in the last week of my first trimester, so there will be lots of posts coming. I hope that you will follow me on this journey to becoming a first time mommy!
