Pregnancy

I like to record pregnancy info in my blog to have later (I've already referred back to my posts with Caedon to see if I could find out how long my morning sickness lasted in his pregnancy!) so here's an update for ya!

I will be 8 weeks pregnant on Thursday.  My all-day sickness started 2 weeks ago (Brian asked how long I've been sick and I said two weeks and he said ONLY TWO?  It's seemed longer....).  As has been the pattern with me, my sickness is much worse this time around.  It's gotten worse with each pregnancy.  FYI, I'm DONE after this one.  I don't want to see how much worse it can get than this time!  Thankfully, I still don't throw up much.  I did throw up for the first time this morning but mostly, it's just nausea all day.

I've lost about 4 lbs....but....my pants are already starting to feel a bit snug!  I think I'm going to be showing even earlier with this sweet little one!  I'm very ready to get from this stage of pregnancy into the FUN part - feeling and seeing the baby move, finding out gender, picking out a name, planning for and dreaming about a new little life!

We're hoping this baby is a girl. Melissa really wants it to be a girl b/c that means the baby will eventually move into her room and she can have BUNK BEDS!  Yes, this is her main motivation for wanting a sister....  I just really want to do all the pink girly stuff again.  Melissa doesn't let me pick out her clothes anymore and I miss dressing a little girl!  Plus....we already have a girl name picked out and can't agree on a boy name :)  We will, of course, be thrilled with either gender.

Anyway...pray with me that my sickness is gone by Halloween.  Or at least takes a break for that weekend. :)  I'm going on my scrapbooking retreat and I REALLY want to be able to eat all the yummy food all weekend (I can start working on gaining back that bit of weight I've lost!).
