eight weeks

eight weeks

that's how far along i am.

it is totally crazy.

-

right before thanksgiving i found out sus and chris

were coming home.

and with grandpa dying in july...

i just felt like we needed to procreate.

-

it took a lot of praying and convincing cameron.

but around christmas we decided to start trying.

-

christmas day was the 'official' day cameron said we could.

i say it was my christmas present.

-

that month we didn't reaaaaalllllly try

so we didn't get pregnant.

-

but in january we tried...

and what do you know....

Feb 1 i found out!

-

i ran into the bedroom (it was 6:00am)

and asked cameron what he wanted to name our baby.

of course he was still sleeping... and he didn't know what was going on.

and i had to ask him a couple times.

then he realized what I was saying, and

we both just kinda freaked out!

-

i was hesitant to put it on the blog this early,

but i waited a long time for me...

and decided either way i was just going to do it.

-

i knew you would all be so happy!

my little blog friends.

-

you people without kids wouldn't think,

but i have already gotten MUCH unsolicited advice

and MANY rude rude comments.

-

Like Katie said during her pregnancy.

I will ask for advice when I am ready,

and then I will take it to heart.

But seriously people don't be rude.

that's just, well, rude.

-

here are the things people have said:

person-are you finding out the sex?

me-yes we are b/c i am tye A and have to or i'll die

person-wow that's really disappointing

me-well, you have had 2 kids, and you got your chance, this is mine.

-

person- wow, this is going to be a longgggg pregnancy

me- no, it's going to be 40 weeks, just like everyone else, why?

person- b/c you told everyone so early, and it's you

me- (bahhhhh annoyed... stalking away)

-

person- where are you going to deliver

me- mountain midwifery down the street

person- ohhhh, do you want me to tell you some horror stories

me- nope, heard them all, thanks

person- really? i could tell you a lot to change your mind

me- no thanks, i've made an informed decision

person- but you work at a hospital

me- yup.

-

-

-

really people?

wow.

-

the things we know are?

-i go see the midwife when i am 10 weeks on march 15

-

-at 6 weeks i was getting nauseated mainly in the morning but then

it started going alllllll day, and yesterday i puked for the first time.

boo. so far, today i'm good.

-crackers, gingerale, smoothies, toast, tea, none of it helps.

-

-i crave different things, last week it was baked potatoes

and the funny thing is that sometimes i crave it,

get it, then can't eat it, b/c it makes me wanna barf.

-

-i'm not showing yet, i just have a really really

bad muffin top, which makes my pants not fit.

which sucks. BUT seriously, why doesn't

everyone wear maternity pants?!?!? they're awesome.

-

-we want to find the sex out, and we can at the MMC

-

-the MMC is 2 blocks from my hospital Swedish,

so IF a promlem arrises, the have made the national standard

of "decision to incision" of 30 minutes, in 7 minutes.

They have a great relationship with the Docs there

and have several accepting physicians.

My insurance covers both places.

-

i have read a million books

but that was all before I was even pregnant.

now i havent picked up one.

-

we have a long list of names picked out.

i don't mind telling people at all.

but i think it's annoying when they wrinkle their nose at

certain names.

hello... you got to name your own kids

so shut it.

-

what will hans and schnooze do?

who knows.

i think hans just wants it to get big enough to play ball with him.

and i think schnooze will protect it.

-

have you seen all there is baby.

i mean just walking into target it scary.

let alone looking on amazon.

ahhhhhhh.

-

what are essentials, good to have's, and didn't use once items.

-

what books did you read and recc?

-

names you like folks?

-

it's the size of a grape!

ahhh!!!!!
