Good Exposure or Bad?

The other day my husband sat down next to me on the couch, looked me in the eyes and said "I googled you." He said it so seriously that it made me a little worried as to what he had found. Which turned out to be a few pictures that had been on my facebook page, and different pieces of comments I'd left on blogs I read. He asked me if I felt comfortable that my name and picture was out there on the web, and to be honest it does make me a little uneasy. I know it is not bad stuff, but it is kind of scary to think that if someone is looking for you there are ways that lead to you on the net. Cory is against Facebook big time. He thinks it is silly. He says why would he want to know that someone went for a walk, and then ate pizza. I guess he just likes to be private. I used to be on Facebook, and then after our house got broken into, I got off. I guess having a blog isn't much more secure. I missed Facebook at first. I just really liked looking at people's pictures, and seeing what people from highschool were up to. But now I don't really think about it much. I guess now that we are going to have a baby, I am thinking about how safe it is to be exposing my life online. Then I think my baby is going to be growing up in a world where computer technology will advance even more... so it is also just part of new times. Something to think about... but I do like to google.

Three Months

Three Months. Already that is how long I have been pregnant. I am feeling better as far as the emotional side of things. At first I was all over the place.. really sensitive, and a little lioness here and there. I can still cry easily.. but I feel a little more like myself! And without saying too much I will just say that prunes have become my new bestfriend.
I am driving myself nuts thinking about names... I have two that I really like one for a girl, and one for a boy.. but still can't quite decide. It will be so neat to see that little baby face for the first time. I still can't believe it is happening!
I still need to get the room ready. For some reason I am really worried about the room.. but Cory says it will be a piece of cake.
I have been told that advice can get overwhelming, and in a way it can! Everyone seems to have an opinion... Doctor all the way, oh no you should have a midwife, home birth, water birth, this carseat is the only one you want, you shouldn't find out the sex, you have to find out the sex, you shouldn't eat sugar at all, do not carry that vacumn up the stairs, use cocoa butter to prevent stretch marks absoultley! Cocoa butter will not work, Having a birth plan is a bad omen(really? I don't believe in bad omens anyway)... but really it is all (well almost all) coming from people who care, and that matters a lot!
Cory is really excited, he likes to hold my stomach when we are sleeping. It blesses my heart. He tells me I am pretty, and that I will be a good mom.
I took some pics lastnight, and I do have a little pooch. My cat has taken to laying on my stomach.. it is weird because she never did that as much. It seems that is the only place she wants to snooze.
I can't wait to feel movement!
