~ Seven Weeks ~

Seven weeks already! Less then one week until our doctor's appointment! We can not wait to see our baby!! This week has been the same as the last few. I am constantly exhausted, bloated and experiencing waves of nausea. I can't go grocery shopping anymore... my food aversions are too bad! Simply looking at certain foods makes me feel sick so the store was very overwhelming for my tummy! I have been experiencing headaches this week pretty bad. I feel dizzy and headache when I stand up too quickly. I have read online that it can be caused by dehydration. This is so crazy to me because I have been drinking three times as much water as I normally do! It is amazing how much water baby needs!! I am going to just have to step it up even more!!

Overall, despite all of the negative symptoms we are so excited that I can't stand it! I keep thinking of all of the fun things that I already love to do and realizing how much more fun it will be with children! Christmas morning, trips to the zoo, sitting on the porch outside.... the list goes on and on. I just imagine a little boy catching bugs or a little girl seeing zoo animals for the first time. I can't wait to make arts and crafts, and play pretend... I know all of this is a ways away but it is so neat to think about how our lives are changing forever!

The more that Kevin and I discuss being parents, the more I feel completely certain that he will be a wonderful father. I know he is so excited... He is already looking at family friendly cars, and planning a budget, thinking about how we can re-arrange the house to have a play room, etc. We have always made such a great team, I know that we will be awesome together raising this little one!

Anyway... I am keeping this post fairly short because I know that next week I will have a LOT to say after our doctor's appointment!!
