8 weeks

Surprise! As many of you found out a few days ago we are expecting. We are still in shock and adjusting to this new phase of life. There have been days that I have totally lost it and thought there is no way I am ready to be a parent. I'm too selfish. We want to travel and have fun like others our age. And there are days that I've come to grips with reality and know that if anyone can do this, we can! I truly believe that whatever happens, happens for a reason. I know that if anyone knows how to take care of a newborn and young child, that is me. And there is no one more capable of caring for a teenager than my crazy kid-like  youth minister husband. We have decided to do weekly or bi-weekly posts  (like the one below) to document this new journey. You might not get bare belly shots until its evident there is a bun in the oven and I'm not just fat. But we promise to post pictures with each posting so you can watch along with us how fast baby grows!

How far along: 8 weeks

Baby size: raspberry

Sleep: sucks! I have to get up every few hours to pee and I’m always nauseous when I wake up.

Movement: Nope!

Food cravings/aversions: Seeing food on TV makes me really nauseous. Saltines are my friend but no real cravings.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Super nauseous all day, everyday. Cross my fingers I've only actually gotten sick a few times.

What I miss:  The energy to get up and go. Sleep. My list goes on and on but really the biggest thing would be not feeling so sick to my stomach all the time.

What I'm looking forward to:  Our first ultrasound in December!

Milestones: First doctors visit which consisted of 1000 questions and NO ultrasound.. I was not a happy camper. Its just hard to believe I'm actually pregnant without seeing proof.

Best moment this week:  Having one whole day of feeling absolutely normal! What what!

Moments with Jason: Jason has been so good to me. Every time I’m sick or not feeling well he gets me whatever I need and doesn’t make me lift a hand. Super love this guy! He is going to be a rock star dad!
