They should really change the name...

So now we're about 7 weeks. The baby's head is starting to form now, but it still looks like an alien with a big tail.

Saturday was not a good day for me. I was sick literally all day long. Everything I ate made me even more sick. I finally decided not to eat, but then the hunger pains kicked in. I've decided to change the name from morning sickness to just plain pregnancy sickness. I hardly ever get sick in the morning so it just makes sense. Despite the baby hating everything I ingested, the weekend was actually a lot of fun. Grandma Judy and Aunt Beverly came to visit and I got to finally meet my great great aunt Joycie. She is an 85 year old woman living in North Richland Hills (??), not too far from where we live. Let me tell you, she is a hoot! She was cracking us up all weekend long! We went to see Aaron at the school he teaches at and Joycie heard the high school band practicing. So what did she do? Oh yes! She started shaking her little behind to the music...it was hilarious!

I have started telling Tony this particular phrase: "baby says..." I think so far I've said things like, "baby says mom needs cookies and milk." "Baby says daddy be quite so mom can sleep." "Baby says mommy needs to watch 30 rock." I use the last one when Tony and I disagree on what to watch on TV. For the most part it works to get what I want, but sometimes Tony doesn't let it fly. Oh well...I'll keep saying it anyway.

So far I've only gained 1 pound, which I am actually quite surprised at. I eat soooo much it's unreal. I don't eat a lot in one sitting necessarily, but I feel like I am constantly eating. If I don't eat something every hour and a half I get sick all over again...go figure.

Other than my constant eating, I also have terrible preggo acne. I absolutely HATE it! AND!!!! There's not a lot you can do because your hormones are still gonna be out of whack so my OB said it probably won't get much better. Great....just great. Thankfully there is some prescription medication I can take to help it.

I know it seems like I'm so negative about this, but I am really sooooo happy we have been blessed with a child so soon. We were told we were going to have a hard time getting pregnant, so this is literally a miracle baby. Tony and I are so ecstatic to become parents of a little boy or girl and cannot wait for the next 8 months to be over with. We want the baby now! We don't want to wait anymore. Perhaps we are being a tad impatient but oh well!
