8 Weeks!

I feel like 8 weeks is a milestone, I am not sure why, but I like it! So here is how I am feeling now. I am still tired, pretty much all the time, except on Monday, when I felt great! I started to worry something was wrong because I have felt sleepy everyday, and it was weird to feel so good and awake. But don't worry, the next day, the tiredness came back, I became a bit of a grouch, and I slept on the couch all night, while my sweet husband made the enchiladas I had planned on making. And I think his turned out better than mine, I think I am ok with him making dinner, I kind of like it! And today I am tired again, a slight bit of nauseousness, but I ate some crackers and it is totally gone, and I am now eating a huge bowl of soup for lunch, so I think I am good. My emotions have started the roller coaster ride. They aren't bad, I just notice myself crying a little more than usual, especially when I see a baby being born. I love watching TLC, and if you have ever watched A Baby Story, I hope you can understand. Everytime that show comes on I tell myself I am not going to cry, but it never fails, as soon as the baby enters into the world, I cry, and laugh because I am crying. Also, last week my mom showed me one of my sisters birth videos, and as soon as she let out her first cry, I cried! To top it off, this is the worst one. We took my little cousin Ocean to see Ice Age 3 on the 4th of July. Well I am going to ruin the movie for you all, at the end, one of the animals gives birth! No biggie, right? I mean, it is a cartoon! Not going to lie, I started crying. Wesley turned to look at me (he knows I cry every time) and he saw me tearing up, and he said, "Babe, are you crying"? Then he of course chuckled and I gave him a good nudge for laughing at me. I was like, um these pregnancy emotions are so funny. Thankfully these are my only crazy symptoms, so I don't mind. I can still laugh at myself afterwards, or even during these crazy moments. I know I will look back and love all the changes that happened during this exciting stage of life.

Another side note, I have gained a few pounds. I am not surprised either. My appetite is huge! I can not believe how hungry I am and how much food I have been eating. It is starting to worry me! Ok, it is really not. I love that I am using all my energy to create this baby, so if I have to eat more and get some chunk while I am at it, bring it on! I have always said, having a baby is worth the stretch marks and cellulite that comes with it. I will of course try my best to not have all those things, but if I do, it is worth it. This baby is a miracle and I am going to love this baby even if I get cankles doing it.

Tonight I will post my 8 week picture, no sign of a baby belly yet, but since I have been eating so much, my belly has protruded a little bit, at least in my eyes. Oh, and all you girls out there, there are somethings that grow at the beginning of pregnancy that you will love! I am sure you can figure it out, but I am loving the new additions, they make my clothes look great :)
