7 weeks

This week we have begun telling more family and a few close friends about our pregnancy. It is so fun to see Corey so excited. I think it took him a bit more time to finally realize he was ready to start trying for a baby, so to see him like this has been great. This Sunday, I had a miserable day. I felt nauseated all day, and had a headache. I didn't even get out of my pj's and spent most of the day in bed. Corey was such a fantastic husband (not that he isn't always), and spent his day cleaning the kitchen, doing 4 loads of laundry, raking leaves, taking over dog duty, going to the grocery store, and finally bringing home dinner for me! It was nice to be so taken care of.

During the week I don't feel as bad. Makes me wonder if my body realizes I need to be able to get up and function at work, and on the weekends the tiredness and everything just catches up with me. Sunday (my sick day), I found out that a dear cousin of mine had passed. This weekend, we will be traveling to Columbia for her funeral. I am really looking forward to seeing my extended family even under such horrible circumstances, but also hoping I won't feel so bad this weekend while traveling.

I have so many friends and a cousin that are all expecting also, so Corey and I are looking forward to having a child the same age as them. Corey has already started tossing around name ideas, and thankfully so far we don't disagree on many that we do or do not like. For once we seem to agree on a lot of things :) Now that we have seen the ultrasound it seems real that I am actually growing a child in there! I had a freaking out moment this weekend when I realized that we are actually going to have a baby to care for! Thankfully it lasted just a split second and then my excitement took back over.

We still have a few more weeks until we go back to the doctor, but I will post if anything new or exciting happens.
