I mean, honestly - just what were Olivia's friends thinking?� Yikes.� Sorry - I had to share.� No more, I promise.

I was horrified (yet completely entertained) to come across this amazingly funny blog, "Cake Wrecks," thanks to a tweet by my buddy, Laura today.� The blog features professional cakes that have gone "horribly, hilariously wrong."� Definitely check it out.Topics: Internet Fun, Bizarre, pregnancy, belly, little baby lump, Cake Wrecks

I had a fun little pregnancy milestone today: I broke out and wore my maternity jeans for the first time.� Let me tell you - you've been missing out.� I can't stress how incredibly comfortable maternity pants are.
I'm also 18 weeks today, which means Baby Lump weighs between five to seven ounces and is almost six inches long.� To stick with the food metaphor, this means he/she is about the size of a deli pickle.Topics: Weekly Updates, Milestones, holidays, shopping, pregnancy, little baby lump, Old Navy, 18 weeks, motherhood, maternity clothes

I'm not gonna lie, it's a little tough being preggers when most of my friends aren't even so much as thinking
about babies.� I'm at an age where my peers are most concerned with adjusting to post-college life; they're struggling with questions about careers, not childcare.� And while my friends have been nothing but supportive (I already have a pretty impressive army of extremely anxious babysitters), it's understandable that it's difficult for them to relate.
Here's where the Internet comes in!� I'm so lucky to have grown up as a "digital native" and have access to so many wonderful online resources.� I always knew there was a social network out there for practically anyone, so it was no surprise when I discovered Baby-Gaga, an online community for expectant and current parents.
The best thing about Baby-Gaga is the overwhelming number of young, soon-to-be mothers like me who populate it.� Most are in their early- to mid-twenties, with many even in their teens.� For me, it's been evolving into an excellent support system.� I can search for mothers by due date, age, location, and members often share advice, sonograms and general pre-motherhood concerns.
Currently, I'm on a hot pursuit to find the perfect "due date buddy." Wish me luck!
