Pregnancy Diaries - 7 Weeks

• It's been two weeks since we found out that I was pregnant and I'm definitely feeling it. While I'm not throwing up, I'm feeling more nauseous than last time and it lasts all day long. I've found that saltine crackers and wint-o-green LifeSavers helps. I may get a prescription from my doctor if it continues much longer.

• I am tired all the time and naps have become a welcomed friend. This also contributes to my extreme case of laziness. Making dinner has become a chore so we've been eating lots of cereal. My poor hubby and child (although Zander loves cereal so I'm sure he's ok with it).

• We've told Zander about the baby, but I'm not sure that he really gets it yet. One night, I was showing him my belly and talked to him about the baby in there. It melted my heart as he touched my belly, kissed it, and said "see ya soon" to his new baby brother or sister. He then proceeded to tell me how he had a baby in his belly too. 

• While I'm not certain if our little peanut is a girl or boy, EVERYONE keeps telling me it's a girl. My sister Kylie keeps having dreams about it. The Chinese charts says it's a girl. My friend at work stated something about the wise tale that girls take away your beauty (to which I was like, what is that supposed to mean? ha ha). I guess we will see in January. 

• Names the second time around are harder. We have a lot of time to decide, but Devin is pushing for Zoey. Ever since he was little, he's always talked about having a daughter named Zoey. 

• TMI: My boobs are huge and I have to pee all the time.

• In less than two weeks, I'll have my first OB appointment and ultrasound. I'm so excited to hear the baby's heart beat and see him/her for the first time.
