to those of you not living in 10º weather right now, i hate you.

on a completely different subject, i have officially decided to stop using Livejournal and have switched over to blogger: http://elykkyle.blogspot.com

For Jordana & Neb -- I just found a product that's intriguing ... obviously haven't tried it, but if it works would be worth the checking-out:

Preggie Pops!

The stuff I read online (and they don't lie online, right? :) ) suggests that they help to alleviate "morning" sickness.

If y'all get sick of ginger-flavored saltines. Or ginger-flavored ginger.

Questions for those of you who have done this before:

1) How soon am I likely to be visibly pregnant?
2) Did you really refrain from deli meat for 9 months (listeria)? I like a ham sandwhich...
3) Favorite morning sickness tricks?
4) Cool pregnancy sites online? Babycenter isn't really doing it for me...
5) Is it worth reading any of the books (WTEWYE or anything else?)

Hello all. Since I actually figured out how to de-beta or re-beta or whatever I did, I thought I should say hello to all of you and Happy New Year and add some pictures from Christmas. I tried to add a video of Kara singing for you but apparently I didn't do it right because it didn't work. I don't have any news to share although I thought I did for a bit last week. Any other of you gals out there relate that you can convince your body to feel just about anything when pregnancy possibilities are on the brain? The mind is a powerful thing!

By the way, my main reason for posting was to ask one of you blogger gurus to post instructions for other poor, confused "new to the blogosphere" folks like me who don't know my way around here so they too can beta-ize and can post again too. I miss all the updates (although I do love creative pregnancy announcements.)
