How far along? 9 weeks 5 days
Total weight gain/loss: 0 pounds - back to pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes? Pants are still tight. I can actually feel a little bump starting to form!
Stretch marks? Not yet!!
Sleep: It is sew gooood! But I'm stinkin' tired ALL THE TIME! Sleep really doesn't satisify the exhaustion - it is so weird! A friend told me today that when you are growing a baby, you are doing more work when you are lying down than you would be doing climbing a mountain! No wonder I'm so tired!!!
Best moment this week: Seeing our little sweet pea dance around on the ultrasound! It was absolutely amazing to see a complete human that is no bigger than an inch long saying hi to mommy and daddy for the first time!!!
Movement: I can't feel it yet, but that baby is doing the macarena inside me!!!
Food cravings: Food is still pretty gross, but getting a littel better. I could eat frozen grapes all day long, though!
Gender prediction: who in the world knows?!?! Some days I think it is a boy some days I think it is a girl!
Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)
Belly Button in or out? still in
Wedding rings on or off? Still on....
Weekly Wisdom: Start planning now as far as what we will need to get: nursery stuff, feeding stuff, clothing, etc. SO MUCH STUFF!
Milestones: 1. Seeing our precious little one for the first time! 2. Having a Due Date given by the nurse - February 29th -Leap Year Day! 3. And looking at nursery bedding and dreaming about what we will have - boy or a girl?
My OB appointment is on Thursday. This is so amazing! I can't wait to see all that will come to be!

8 Week Survey
A friend of mine did this through her pregnancy, and I wanted to keep up with all the fun of our pregnancy, too! So... here it goes..
How far along? 8 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: -3 pounds (due to horrible morning sickness!)
Maternity clothes? Not yet, but my pants are getting a tad tighter. I bought a beautiful dress from Mimi Maternity, and a cute sweater from Old Navy. Can't wait to wear them!
Stretch marks? Not yet
Sleep: I get pretty tired around 8:30, but try to stay awake until 10 so that I will sleep through the night. However, for the past few nights, I've had to wake up around 3-4AM in order to eat something so I won't be sick in the AM!
Best moment this week: Waking up on Tuesday AM, and realizing I had slept through the night!!! Also, having Brooke come over and helping me clean my house b/f we go out of town!
Movement: not yet
Food cravings: more like food aversions!!! I can hardly figure out what to eat b/c everything sounds disgusting - esp meat of any type!
Gender prediction: girl but only by a teeny tiny bit. I had a dream last night that the baby was a girl.
Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)
Belly Button in or out? still in
Wedding rings on or off? Still on....
Weekly Wisdom: buy stuff now to spread the money out, while you see stuff on clearance :)
Milestones: Not any this week. Hope to have some next week!

We are going to be PARENTS!!!!
Oh my goodness! I can not believe it! I am writing this on Wednesday, June 27, but I won't publish it for a little while because I want to make sure all the news gets out to all my family and close friends first.
Chris and I found out on Sunday, June 24 that there was a little one being knitted together inside me!!! I am still in shock yet so excited! Chris is excited too, but can't believe that we find out our lives are going to change by a stick that says "pregnant" on it.
I will go in for my first ultrasound and blood work on July 30th. My Dr. won't see you until you are 9-11 weeks. I really cannot believe this miracle at work. We were reading a book the other day that tracks the development of a baby, and today it says our baby could fit into this peroid: . three times!!!!! Isn't that crazy?!?!
I haven't really had too many symptoms, but it could be because it is so early. They say morning sickness doesn't start until around week 6 a lot of times, so I think I have about 2 more weeks by the time that is supposed to hit. Yikes! Maybe that won't be one of my symptoms - hopefully!
Anyway, we are so thankful for the Lord answering our prayers. Continue to pray this will be a happy and healthy pregnancy!!! We love you and will keep you posted!
[ Update: I am updating and posting this on July 18th, and our baby is now the size of a pinto bean!!! He/She has been growing like a weed!!! Morning Sickness has definitely kicked in - better described as morning, noon, and night sickness!!! In fact, I feel like I have the stomach flu, or I'm getting over the stomach flu. It pretty much stinks, but I'm feeling much better this week than last week! I read today that the placenta starts forming during week 8 and that can take some edge off the morning sickness! Thank the LORD!!!! My Dr. actually prescribed Zofran for me which helps with vomiting, and it has really helped wonders. I've only taken it twice, though. ]
