Godparents? Whats the deal? Since I found out I was pregnant, I have had people fighting over who was going to be the Godparents. I don't exactly know why its so important to these people and I really never thought of it as a big deal. I was baptized a few years later then normal, when I was about 5, I remember everything. The way I see it is that you don't need a title of 'Godmother' to feel like your special in the childs life. If you want a special part, be a special person and be there. Its that simple. I'll wait and choose who Steve and I would like to be the Godparents. I'm done hearing about it :).

I told my dad. All is well and I feel relieved, very! Steves mom said she would also be there for the baby, which is a step up from before. See, I knew that would happen :).

Yesterday, I found out baby dosn't like Alphaghetti's. So thats two things, including Shrimp. Gross.

Not much to say today though, I'm very sleepy.

Two weeks and I hear that heart beat!

Moving onto week 9 now. The baby is offically a fetus and is about 1 whole inch! This week the babys muscles are starting to form, which means the baby will be able to start moving its legs and arms! I can't believe I have this tiny miracle inside of me :). I love it to death and I can't wait to hear the heart beat. Oh come sooner August 11th!

More news though, I'm not really thrilled about.. My weight, dropped more. about 5 pounds more, which some people say "that happends, your pregnant, your sick". Actually, I don't really have morning sickness and I eat a lot. So I'm worried about it! I have been taking my vitamins and all that good stuff though.

I'm also telling my Dad today. I'm nervous about that, but the good thing is that his girlfriend hes dating now was also pregnant at 18. Now he can't freak out too much, so yay! I'm hoping Steve will come over when I tell him, and perhaps talk to Dave & my Dad. We'll see how it goes I guess!

By the end of August, baby will be the size of a peach!

Today I was going to post some pictures of the babys stuff.. but it seems like my camera is dead and the charger is lost. Pictures will have to wait.

Yesterday Steve and I (& Britt too ) were in Wal-mart looking at baby things together. It was the first time we did that together and it felt good. We're both pretty excited about it too.

This week is the 8th week. Which means this week baby has lips, nose, eyelids, legs, and its back is taking shape. It's heart is also beating 150 times per minute and its make spontanious movements. It's too small so I can't feel the baby move yet.

You know what I'm excited for? The first time Steve and I feel the baby kick. I really like that we're both excited together. I can't wait to see the baby. A little more than 7 months, but so excited.

FINALLY! My room is clean. My Nanny (Baby's GG) took all the baby clothes with her to wash them and put them in storage containers. One thing less I don't have to do.

I have to say, I've been thinking a lot lately.. about how much life has changed.

It changed within seconds,
and yet it has brought me so much joy.

Hmm, sometimes I'm not sure what to write because I know so little about the baby and the only thing that comes to mind are appointments or sickness, both of which I haven't experienced within the past day.

If anyone has questions though,
feel free to ask.

Today, I am very ill.

Blurred vision, fainting.
Throwing up, migrains.

I feel so weak.

I still love you baby,
even though I'm sicker than I have been in my whole life.

I'm so excited to hear the babys heart beat! The baby now has a jaw, a liver, a kidney, and two black spots where its eyes will be (I keep reading what happends each week). Its really exciting and I have to call for my first altersound soon. I'm really excited to see him/her.

I really hope its a boy, but either way I will love it. I hate saying "it" referring to the baby. But I don't know what else to call 'it' :). It's a bit bigger than a jellybean now and its growing rapidly (or so I read).

I still have to clean my room and put all the baby clothes away. Theres so many cute outfits, I can't wait!!

Seven and a half months!

Oh baby,
you make me feel so sick.

Dizziness and fatigue.

But I still love you so much.

बेबी ब्लॉग १

I've decided to keep a blog to fill you all in on the next 8 months. I feel like its a good way to keep everyone up to date on the baby and I. This is the first blog, the first of many. And for some reason, the titles turn into some language? Apparently english isn't my native language lol. But it says "Baby Blog 1".

Today we went to our first doctors appointment and daddy was sleeping so he missed out. Lucky him, it was all paper work. But we learned that mommy lost a whopping 13 pounds in the last couple of weeks and that her blood pressure is low! I guess thats what happens when you can't eat anything. I constantly feel nauseous, so its hard to eat a lot. The doctor said that will end soon, and we hope so! Peanut butter and Jam sandwiches have been a favorite, and LOTS of water.

Anyways, the doctors appointment went well and we have another one August 11th. Plus I have to go get blood work done. Me and Daddy also have to decide if we want to get screened for Downs Syndrome or other difficulties. I'm weary because either way I plan on keeping you, and the doctor said it comes back false a lot and I don't want that extra worry around.

Me and Nanny.. that sounds weird! Well anyways, me and nanny picked out so many outfits for both a boy and girl. I would looooove a boy, so theres a lot of boy clothes. My names so far are Chase, Noah, and Brody. However, me and daddy are having trouble choosing a name we both like for both a boy and girl. However we decided we both have to love the name and you will take daddys last name.

Things are going alright. Everyone knows now, minus your Poppa! Its difficult talking about it too some people and I fear he will be the hardest to tell. We have a lot of support from my family, and support of all of our friends. It's good to know everyones hear. I'm a little dissapointed because Daddy's family didn't take the news to well. But I guess they will have to get over it and reilize their going to be grandparents too!

We also bought a diaper genie, picture frames, room decorations, bottles, bibs, blankets, and so much more. Poppa Dave also bought the first stuffed animal, Winnie the Pooh. I hope you like Winnie, cause everything is Winnie the Pooh! Oh, and don't tell Daddy, but we kinda are getting him a Red Leafs outfit for you... even though they suck! But Daddy will be happy to see that!

I have been taking my vitamins and they don't go down well. They are for horses! I decided to take them at night because taking them in the morning + morning sickness = not too pretty. Being pregnant is hard work let me tell you! Although I'm not minding people treating me like a princess! We have been working on the room to make room for everything and organize it all.

I have also been making the baby a play list on iTunes. So far I have the following songs:
Love You 'Till The End - The Pogues
Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root (Matilda Soundtrack)
JCB - Nizlopi
Hold My Hand - Matilda Soundtrack
I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden
Hallelujah - Teddy Geiger
You Belong To Me - Micheal Buble
Bubble Toes - Jack Johnson
Better Together - Jack Johnson
Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson

This kid is going to like some good tunes! Jack Johnson is a favorite because of his lyrics, my favorite is Better Together. I like it because it makes me think of how excited and happy I am to meet you and to watch you grow up. "I tell you one thing its always better when were together, yeah we look at the stars when were together". I'm excited to watch you, see you, feel you, play with you, and every little thing. I can't wait to take you swimming for the first time, or camping, I can't wait to see your face just light up with excitement. This is so exciting to me. I can't wait to hear your heart beat next appointment and see you at the altersounds! Your so small right now but we're already close. I can't wait. 8 months can't come soon enough! Your my little baby, my little star. I can't wait to see you sparkle.

This is perhaps the longest blog I have written but I'm just so excited! I don't ever want to dissapoint you, I just want you to have the best life possible. I hope you are everything you can be. I sound like a mom already gesh. Honestly, now I know why parents are so greatful of everything. I may not get what I wanted.. But I was wrong, you are what I want. There is nothing greater than this feeling and it can only get better. I can't wait. I'm sure Daddy is just as excited to meet you and I know he will be a great father. Your a blessing, I love you already.

P.s. I'm actually about 5 weeks and a half! On too the second month Yeppie! Febuary can't come soon enough! I'll give you more updates soon.. and if you can think of some good songs let me know!
