In general, I've had pretty easy-going pregnancies, but they've definitely been their own entities.<br />
<br />
My first pregnancy felt so easy and relaxed. I was finishing up my senior year at UC Davis, running all over campus daily (seriously, I probably walked over 2 miles a day just between classes and whatnot), and coming home to get really good sleep. I ate amazingly, craved oranges like no other, and read every book I could get my hands on. I started out heavier, so I gained less weight, but had more problems like high blood pressure in my last few weeks (hopefully something I can avoid this time around).<br />
<br />
This pregnancy is similar because it's been easy, but in a different sort of way. I don't have to run all over school or worry about homework this time, but I do have to keep up with an adventurous two-year-old who doesn't nap, and prefers sleeping in my bed over her own. I crave junk food more than fruits and veg, and my weight gain has been steady because I started out at a much smaller weight. I haven't dealt with high blood pressure, but I have been dealing with (what I think is) excessive estrogen because I've been ITCHY as hell.<br />
Unlike my last pregnancy, I have barely read any of those "weekly updates" about the growth of the baby, and I haven't cracked open one maternity book. I just don't really have the time, nor the patience to reread things that I kinda remember.<br />
<br />
I can't believe I have about a month (at least) until I get to meet Miss Noelle. I really don't feel ready - we don't have much done to welcome her home. This weekend we'll put her car seat in my Subaru, and hopefully get all of that newborn and 0-3 laundry washed and organized. Eep! Other than that, what does a newborn really need? Lol, maybe I should open a book on bringing home baby.Jessica Bergman "TheOtherJessica"http://www.blogger.com/profile/05312276384590958618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461672577459799149.post-25389832675046161392015-03-05T20:47:00.001-08:002015-03-05T20:47:14.730-08:0034 Week Bump Update<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">
So, I know it's been ages since I updated, but I was starting to feel like things were getting stale because there wasn't much to share. Then lately I've been dying to write in here, but I knew I needed to do a bump update first. I'll post some baby bump pics below my update!</div>

It was a great Christmas! We had fun celebrating and eating with our families :)</div>

And she's not that far behind me. Her due date is the same that Michelle's was (May 28th)! We are all over the moon for her. It will be nice for Noelle to have a cousin so close in age to her (about a month apart), just like Michelle has with her cousin Nichole. Her and her fiance are so excited!<br />
<br />
To top off her great news, she's having the first boy in our family. 3 daughters, 5 granddaughters, and 1 grandson. Our immediate family is very excited to get a boy.<br />
<br />
However, outside friends and family are being ridiculous and insensitive. My mom made a huge pronouncement on facebook and got about 30 comments - they all said stuff like "oh Papa will finally have his boy to spoil" and even my own grandparents said something about this baby being extra special. My "announcement" from my mom got 3 comments. Haha!<br />
There's even talk of a fire truck baby shower. No mention of a shower for Noey (when I said this to my mom she said we can do a "diaper thing" if I want, but I can afford my own diapers). Maybe everyone forgot I'm also pregnant, and that Noey is special too. She will be about 1 month older than Ash's son.<br />
<b>I think every baby should be celebrated</b>. Regardless of sex or <i>who</i> is having the baby.<br />
<br />
Either way, Michael and I have enough love and excitement for Noelle, so we're not concerned about these random people. It's annoying, but we don't need anyone else cheering us on, we cheer ourselves on :)<br />
<br />
My sister's baby deserves to be celebrated, not because he's a boy, but because he is a new member of our family, and that is a wonderful thing. Here's to baby boy, we can't wait to meet him! <3Jessica Bergman "TheOtherJessica"http://www.blogger.com/profile/05312276384590958618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461672577459799149.post-59447208678224625542014-12-11T13:46:00.001-08:002014-12-11T13:46:32.621-08:00Some favorites<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We had a very fun Halloween here at the Bergman house! The weekend we found out Noelle is a girl, we went to my in-law's town to get pumpkins and decorate jack-o-lanterns. Michelle had fun running around the pumpkin patch and kissing piggy statues :)</div>

All week long, Michelle was excited and talked about trick-or-treating. We decorated the house and wore our most festive Halloween gear. <br />

<br />
The night of Halloween we walked around the block and then passed out candy to the kids in our neighborhood. We thought we'd get more kids, but we only got about 10-15 kids. I bought two bags of candy, but we used about 1/2 of one bag.<br />
<br />
Mish was so excited and polite while trick-or-treating! Everyone thought she was the cutest Tinkerbell ever. I have to agree :)<br />

So, last weekend we found out the sex of the baby! I was so excited to find out, and Michelle's reaction was the best thing in the world. I won't spill the beans until <i style="font-weight: bold;">after </i>this bump update, because I'm evil. Actually, maybe I'll slip it it.<br />

Do you have days like those, random reader? The end of last week was very rough for me, so that sad mood persisted into this week. I'm not able to let things slide off my back as easily as I'd like. Hopefully with the news of Baby B's sex tomorrow, my mood will lift and I'll be back to normal. My kids make me happy. Little do they know just looking at them makes me feel happier, stronger, and purpose.<br />
<br />
Just this week Michelle has made us laugh uncontrollably multiple times. She never ceases to make us laugh or smile. Here are two examples of things that she's done to make us laugh lately (according to my FB posts):<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Michelle just said "I'm a pretty princess!" and Michael said "well, I'm a cowboy." She said "no you're not a cowboy! You're a boofa!" hahahahaha!!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>I thought I was feeling the baby move, so I told Michelle. She ran over and put her finger in my belly button and said "tickle tickle tickle baby!" Hahaha!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lol! Isn't she a crack up? Oh, ps, "boofa" is our family's word for fart. She also called Michael a "sneaky snook" yesterday, which is what the child-pirates call Captain Hook on Jake and The Neverland Pirates. Lol. Oh goodness. </div>

Those are the name choices we've nailed down for our little Baby B. I am so anxious to find out the baby's sex! I want to know what to call my little baby! I want to get the nursery started, and I want Mish to get used to calling the baby by its name.<br />
<br />
I don't really have much to say today, but I'm feeling antsy and my fingers are itching to type. I've been in a funk for a while, and I don't think I have much bubbly fun stuff to talk about. But I'm trying my best to pull myself out of this, so I figure I should get back into the swing of things in other ways.<br />
<br />
No one reads this blog unless I advertise each individual post, so I think this will be a fine place to work out my crap :)Jessica Bergman "TheOtherJessica"http://www.blogger.com/profile/05312276384590958618noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461672577459799149.post-61189411646472647202014-10-14T19:21:00.000-07:002014-10-14T19:21:02.649-07:0014 Week Pregnancy Update<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 20px;">
Yep, I'm pregnant! I was nervous to come back to my blog because I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret, and I didn't want to share the news too early (like I did on my side blog, then I had an early miscarriage and it just broke my heart). So I waited ages to start posting here, but I'm excited that the cat's out of the bag!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21.559999465942383px;"> - Misha! She has started speaking in much longer sentences, and the things that come out of her mouth are hilarious! She is always saying "take a look" and is such an actress! She loves to kiss herself in the mirror and laugh at her own jokes :)</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">I did NOT like it that much. SO many people raved about it, but it left me feeling blah.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">The whole Harper Connelly series by Charlaine Harris (4 books total)</span></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">They started off GREAT! I loved the first two, but then they started getting repetitive and incestuous, Lol. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">The first half of the </span></span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">Aurora Teagarden series by Charlaine Harris</span></li>

<li><span style="color: #222222; line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">I am in love with these books! I am only halfway through the series, but since we're moving in two weeks I haven't checked out more books because I will slack on my packing.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">The Probable Future by </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.559999465942383px;">Alice Hoffman</span></li>

My friend Cassie is so clever. She decided to throw a pinterest party on the Saturday after our birthday (we both share a birthday) and it was so fun! I didn't get as many pictures of the crafts as I'd have liked, but I was busy photographing our cute kids!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She has the great idea of putting on Frozen so we could craft without too much distraction. It was fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After they watched a film, they even joined in on the fun by painting on their own canvases :)</div>
Cassie made some delicious pizza and we vegged while gabbing and crafting. Perfect!<br />

I made a veggie pot pie, two platters of enchiladas, Mexican rice, and a blackberry cobbler. It was 100+ degrees outside today, and baking all day didn't help with the heat, but I'm excited to have a few days of dinner already cooked :)<br />
<br />
For my birthday Michael bought me the nicest Canon DSLR and I have been going picture crazy! Speaking of my birthday, Michael took the day off and took Michelle and me up to Oregon where we played in Ashland at Lithia Park, shopped in Medford, and got ice cream. We got dinner in Yreka, and ended the night with cake at home. He is so sweet.<br />
<br />
Of course I <i>have </i>to post some of the pictures I've taken with my camera ;-) Here they are below.<br />

Seriously, it has flown by so quickly and I had no clue July here! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">So, I came across this list on a vlog channel that I like to watch weekly, and she did this June Favorites video. I thought to myself "Hey! This would make a good thing to try on my blog", so here's my first installment. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">I'm liking the questions that she answered, but I might switch some up over the coming months as I fill them out and see how relevant some are to my life. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">I'm two days early, but I think I'll be too busy the next few days to write out a proper post. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
Well, here we go!<br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;" /></span></b>
<b>1. Funniest Thing That Happened</b><br />
- A few weeks ago Michelle woke up and immediately farted. I said "whoa boofa!" and she said "haha baby-boofa-butt!" and started laughing. Bahaha! Also, she's been adding "ia" to the end of everything so she sounds very Italian. Sounds like "Momia, Dadia, Auntia,". Which always has us laughing :)<br />
<br />
<b>2. Book(s) you read</b><br />
-Seriously? None! I have been such a failure these past few months when it comes to reading. I've usually got a huge reading list and a book to cozy up with, but lately I've been so consumed with projects and plans with family that I haven't read anything. Boo. I would love suggestions for good reads though!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Shows/Movies you liked</b><br />
-Ok this one is easy (lol, no time to read but there's <i>always</i> time for tv!). At the beginning of the month I was just finishing up a Dexter binge watch, but couldn't get myself to start the next season. I really liked Jula Stiles character, so I was bummed that she left. So, I caught up on the new season of Orphan Black (SO GOOD!), watched Modern Family reruns, and then stumbled upon Law & Order SVU. There are so many seasons - and there's no real "end" to each season, so it's easy to just continue watching the next episode. The only downside is that the content is dark (nothing <i>too</i> graphic, but the whole show is about some kind of sexual assault - including kids and elderly- so obviously it can be hard to watch).<br />
<br />
<b>4. Something you accomplished/made you proud</b><br />
<b>-</b>After months of planning and prepping, I was so proud of the <a href="http://jessandmikeplusone.blogspot.com/2014/06/michelles-birthday-elmo-party.html">birthday party we threw for Michelle</a>. It was fun, cute, and very successful. Mish had a blast and loved singing the Happy Birthday song with all of her friends and family <3<br />
<br />
<b>5. Foods you tried/loved</b><br />
<b>- </b> I didn't really try anything new, but we did eat at a new restaurant in Yreka that was freaking delicious! They make the best veggie burgers and everyone there was very friendly. We also had some really good Brazilian food in Berkeley last weekend that was so good. I just got a salad, but it was so spicy and flavorful! We ended our meal with Dole Whips, which I've never had (I guess I have tried something new! Duh!) and it was SO good!<br />
<br />
We also had AMAZING fried olives at Bistro Don Giovanni in Napa for our 10th anniversary. Yum. So much yum.<br />

<br />
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">6. Song/Album you listened to most</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">- If we're talking in general, Mumford and Sons will top my list every month. I have their two cds in my car and they are <i>always</i> on. But other than my guys, I've been playing "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith and "All of Me" by John Legend a lot! Those songs just get me right in the heart, man. So good!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">7. Youtuber/Blogger you enjoyed the most</span></b><br />
<div>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">-That would have to be Anna Saccone and The Saccone-Joly's. I follow a lot of really good vloggers and bloggers, but I <b>love</b> that family. They'd probably top my list every month too, so I'll just jot down my favorites in general (since this is my first monthly favorites blog).</span></div>

<div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">8. Health/Beauty product you used a lot</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">- Hahaha. Ok, so I fail at putting on makeup and doing my hair daily. I guess the thing I used the most would have to be my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-Rechargeable-Toothbrush-Sanitizer/dp/B00FZ2NGRC/ref=sr_1_6?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1403811606&sr=1-6&keywords=sonicare">Sonicare toothbrush</a>. It's pricey, but so worth it! Brushing with a regular brush is great and all, but this thing makes your teeth feel like their going to the spa everyday. Whiiirrrr</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;"> </span><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">9. Favorite item you bought</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">-Uh oh. I spent too much money this month and we definitely felt it towards the end. My very favorite? Definitely our new panini press! I have been eating paninis and toasties like crazy, so it only made sense to buy one to save money. I also went crazy at the Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Sale. New bras and undies! I'm also really in love with the new rug I bought for our family room. It's so plush and pretty :)</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">10. Something you learned </span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">-That my friend Wendy is having another GIRL! Such wonderful news! She already has one of each (Liam and Cambria), so adding another girl into the home sounds like heaven to me! Then again, I'm biased. ;-)</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">11. Goals for next month</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">- Get out more and/or go camping!! I mean, yes, to get out more is my top goal, but I've been dying to camp! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">12. Something you're looking forward to</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">- 4th of July, my friend's Pinterest party, my 28th birthday, and (hopefully) camping!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Whew! That was a long one! Did you stick around until the end? Is anyone even reading this? Lol</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Actually, I'm adding my own last question!</b></span> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><b>13. Favorite Picture(s) from the month!</b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">Because I got the <i>cutest </i>pictures yesterday, I'm going to toss them in. They make me smile <3</span><br />

Jessica Bergman "TheOtherJessica"http://www.blogger.com/profile/05312276384590958618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461672577459799149.post-5179093081492515052014-06-28T05:00:00.000-07:002014-06-28T05:00:00.961-07:00TEN.Ten years ago Michael and I were talking on the phone, both of us trying to muster up the courage to make our relationship "official". We had gone on a date the week before, but on the 28th, we decided that we wanted to become an exclusive couple. He still says I stole his thunder because I asked him two seconds before he could ask me. Haha!<br />
<br />
BEST.DECISION.OF.MY.LIFE!<br />
<br />
I can't believe, at 17, I met the man I would marry and have children with. We were babies! These past ten years have seriously flown by so quickly. I remember the butterflies in my stomach during our first date, our first kiss, and when I <i>knew </i>I loved him. Each year has gotten better. We went from teens in love, to moving out on our own together, to home-ownership, marriage, and having a beautiful baby. I truly grew up by his side, and because of him I have the <b>best</b> life. His love and encouragement got me through college, childbirth, and every other day in between. Every amazing memory I carry in my heart is associated with him. He's my rock. As corny as it sounds, I wouldn't be ME without him.<br />
<br />
Here's to ten more! And ten more! And a whole lifetime together. I love you so much, Michael <3<br />

And I've been sitting here thinking about it nonstop. I <i style="font-weight: bold;">am</i> proud of my decisions, and I think that's why I am usually so open about my life; why I share so much and why I don't really have shame about opening my life to a blog. And while all this is true, I don't want to fill up this space with venting and random rambles that might get deleted later.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 15.359999656677246px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I mentioned a while ago that I have another blog that's less about pictures and fun adventures, and more about my rambles and more of a place for me to vent. I've been updating over there quite a bit because it's not advertised anywhere (like via my instrgram, twitter, or facebook). So while it seems like this blog is being neglected, it's just that I've been typing away over there :) </span></span></span><br />

My poor little lady is sick right now and all she wants to do is sleep, nurse, and cuddle. No time to write a cool 100th post, so I decided to make a [Life According to...] blog entry. I love sharing pics, so it makes a great 100th post. </div>

We need the space in the garage for a project we're working on, and we wanted to get the baby stuff organized before I get pregnant again. It was super weird to go through those boxes and see everything. I still think of Mish as my little baby, but looking at that stuff made me realize how much she's grown. My little baby bean is a kid! Waaah!<br />
Of course I type that and she crawls over to start nursing. Ha. Yeah, my 2 year old is <i>still </i>nursing. Anytime I mention stopping, she has a little freakout. Aye yi yi.<br />
<br />
I wonder how Mish will react to a new baby. I really need to introduce her to a small baby to see how she interacts with it. I can't imagine life where Mish isn't the sole center of my universe. She's so used to being the center of our attention; I don't want her to feel like she's not loved or important if we bring another baby into the mix.<br />
Maybe this is something all parents think about and I'll laugh about it later, but it's something that has me so scared. I <i style="font-weight: bold;">always</i> want Mish to feel loved, important, heard, and seen. She's so important to us, and I always want her to feel that way.Jessica Bergman "TheOtherJessica"http://www.blogger.com/profile/05312276384590958618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461672577459799149.post-83713808320877876652014-06-13T22:02:00.000-07:002014-06-13T22:02:25.286-07:00Michelle's Birthday Elmo Party!Michelle's party was on the 7th and she had so much fun! She wore the rag skirt I made, along with her elmo shoe bows and a cute ruffle shirt. She wore it for about 30-40 minutes before all the kids changed into their bathing suits and ran through the sprinkers ;-)<div>

For the actual day of Michelle's birthday we took her to the zoo! Mish loves animals (especially monkeys, giraffes, and elephants), so the Oakland Zoo was a no-brainer! We debated the San Francisco Zoo, but they don't have elephants (boo, but understandable since it's smaller and on the edge of the city in Golden Gate Park). Mish had so much fun the whole day!</div>

Mish was really into the goats and kept calling them dogs when we first got to the petting zoo. Lol! After a while, she called them all "mommy goat" and "baby goat" depending on which size it was. It was so adorable!<br />

All in all, I <b>know</b> she had a great day! We had a picnic in the grass, road the little train, and left the zoo with <i>two </i>stuffed animals! Then she got her very own ice cream cone! Lucky girl <3<br />

My sweet, strong-willed, adventurous, smart, crazy little girl is two. Where did the time go? I look into her beautiful face and I feel like no time has passed since I first laid eyes on her. How have two years passed?<br />
<br />
I've been avoiding my blog because I knew writing this post would make me feel all sad and nostalgic. My little bean isn't a bean - she's not an infant, a baby, or even all that little. She's a sharp, witty toddler with likes, dislikes, and a voice. She knows what she wants and she's determined to get it. She amazes me. I wish I could be more like her every single day.<br />
<br />
Michelle, at two years and 0 months old, is inquisitive, spunky, funny, so sweet, and fierce. She loves to read, has amazing manners (please, thank you, and bless you!), shows compassion for others, absorbs everything and is eager to learn (especially about animals, numbers, and songs), loves to give and receive kisses, tells jokes, sings, and dances for others, and isn't afraid to give a stern "no!" when she's unhappy.<br />
She's a complex, interesting, amazing little girl, and I'm constantly surprised by how awesome she is.<br />
She likes being naked, hanging out in the dog kennel, climbing things, Mickey Mouse, giving people checkups and watching Doc McStuffins, and monkeys (well, after visiting the zoo on her birthday yesterday, all animals!).<br />

Right now she's decided she's done playing with her toys and that she wants to read a book in bed.
