Hello World!

Hello world!

My morning sickness is gone! Let's all sing in a joyous chorus. I still have a touch of night sickness but I can so live with it. I am starting to feel like myself again. I just wish I had all my energy back. We're getting there just not as fast as I would like.

We starting debating (and I say debating because that is what this will be) about names. J thinks he's in charge at the moment and I love him but he is crazy wrong. He told me 5 names and tells me these are what you can choose from. Oh honey you have no idea what you have just started. We really are 2 big kids. We will be stubborn for the purpose of being stubborn. Something tells me that is what this is going to turn into. I totally get he feels a little out of control right now and he feels this is what he can control but he is starting something he will not win. Enough of that I thought I would update. It seems the past month it's only been my weekly updates. We're here and still alive!

11 Weeks

Total weight gain: Back to pre-pregnancy weight. J saw it on the scale yesterday at the Dr office and the first thing he said was I don't understand. I see all that you eat. How have you not gained any weight?

Sleep: A little better. When J sleep I sleep, but we have been having issues with allergies so it's been a rough few nights.

A quarter way there!

I truly lost my cookies last night.

J brought Oreos in the house over the weekend for some homemade ice cream. Ohh it was so good. So I have been a good little wife and I have been taking care of those pesky cookies each night. Well I go to brush my teeth last night and poof. It was that stupid wave of nausea all over me. I ran to the toilet as fast as possible and proceeded to lose my cookies. Lesson I’ve learned? No more cookies. They don’t taste so good to me anymore!
