9 Weeks!

Now that I'm officially 9 weeks today! I decided to break the news to the blogging/facebook world! haha We told our families about 2 weeks ago and I've been trying to keep it a secret ever since. We were both so bad at that though- we couldn't hold in our excitement!

I'm starting to feel a little better than I have the past 2 weeks. Weeks 7 and 8 were horrible! I had morning sickness/all day sickness and then a cold/cough to top it off. Not Fun.

I've been trying to rest more and get better sleep but it's hard working full-time and going to school. This weekend I finished off my last class. I'm going to take a break for a while, at least until I make it to the 2nd trimester!

Since I'm not really showing yet I decided to post a picture of all the preggo girls on the team. Latisha (left) is due in April and then Sherree (right) is due two weeks after me!

Sherree is one of our new members. She broke the news to the team when we were doing a photoshoot for some sponsors. Our director, Tia, asked the three of us to get in a picture together. I was so confused and then realized that she must be pregnant too!!! I'm so excited for her and her husband! They've been married about the same time as Neal and I. It is so fun to have a friend that is close to my due date AND on the team!!! We'll be able to go through this together :)

So- here's my first official survey! :)

How far along - 9 weeks

Maternity clothes - Not yet!

Weight gain - 0, being sick might pay off for now :)

Stretch marks - No thank you~

Belly Button - Not pierced.

Sleep - I'm tired all the time! I usually take a nap after work from 5 to 6. I have an easy time falling asleep but I tend to

get up to go to the bathroom a lot.

Best moment this week - Watching Neal try to listen to the baby's heartbeat. hahaha He put his head on my stomach and genuinely tried to hear the heartbeat, he's hilarious and he's going to be the CUTEST dad! :)

Movement - The baby? Nothin. Me? Lot's of dancing! :) I love it and I feel so much better after I get out of practice, it's my saving grace when I feel like throwing up all the time. It feels great to get a good workout and be with all my friends!

Food I'm loving - Carnation breakfast drinks, cheese and crackers

Food I'm hating - Everything- unless I'm craving it! Strong smells make me throw up so its hard for me to cook. Neal has been amazing and he takes such good care of me :) He's stuck making most of the meals now :/

Symptoms - I still feel sick throughout the day but I think it's getting better- or I'm just getting used to it haha

Gender - We find out in 6 weeks! We can't wait! At first I thought it was for sure a boy but second guessing myself.

What I'm looking forward to - The 2nd trimester

What I miss - BROWNIE BATTER!!!! I was a sweet wife and made Neal some brownies last night. It tore me up inside to wash out the brownie bowl without eating some of the batter. It was a pretty low moment haha

Weekly wisdom - If I don't pay attention to my symptoms, I become a pretty tough cookie haha

Milestones - Letting Neal choose where to go out to eat. For the past three weeks we've had to go wherever I'm craving something. I didn't feel like anything so I let him choose for date night this weekend. He chose Bajio's and enjoyed a nice meal togeher- I even had some taquito's. The best part of the meal was my caffeine free diet coke :)

Emotions - All over the place. I've NEVER been this emotional. I can't wait extreme makeover home edition, oprah, or chick flicks. We watched Nights of Rodanthe last night and I couldn't even finish my ice cream because I was crying so much!
