We're 9 weeks this week! Which means our little nugget graduated from being an embryo to a fetus! How exciting! In case you having noticed, there's a little baby on a ticker near the top of this page that says how far along pregnant I am. I just thought it might make it easier for everyone to know exactly where we're at. Hope you enjoy it!
Louise wrote me an email, and mentioned the great idea of having Phillip post on here (how selfish of me to not have previously considered the idea!), of course in suggesting this to him, Phillip slightly groaned, but said that he would do it... good job Mom! I think it will be interesting to get his perspective every now and then.
Phillip actually asked me the other night as we were headed to bed to rate how real the idea of pregnancy is to me... on a scale from 0-10 (10 is absolutely preggo)... I rated it a 1, and thats just because I'm so nauseated, not because I feel any different in any other way. He said that he would then rate himself at a 0.5.
Last week was not a great week for me. I just couldn't get in control of my nausea, I ended up getting sick something like 5 times during an 8 hour shift at work and three times on the way home. I felt like this had to have been the worst of it. This weekend I was able to take my Zofran on a schedule and didn't get sick for 2 whole days! Hopefully this will be a better week. My appetite is still gone... I have been drinking Ensure and taking my vitamins religiously to help our little nugget get the nutrients it needs, because I just can't eat enough for it right now. The only foods I'm interested in, every once in a while are salty foods (which is so not me, but totally Phillip). So there's something Philip and the nugget already have in common.
We went to Manhattan Saturday, to support Stef for family day. Her sorority house was absolutely beautiful! And had one of the neatest chandiliers I've ever seen in it... made me miss college life just a little bit, though Phillip and I agreed that we would never be able to keep up with the college lifestyle anymore... we're too old :)
Here is the onesie Stef bought for the baby the day we told her that we were expecting... it's pretty cute.. even for being purple.
Poor Danielle is broke, otherwise she said she would've bought the baby a KU onesie first.
Great Gremom Cornelson mailed us a package the week after having told her the news. She sent this SUPER cute blankey, that is sooo soft. We have to keep it away from Sneebie because he absolutely loves soft blankey's.
Phillip and I feel sooo incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful network of family and friends that are just so supportive and loving to us. Thank you all so much.
Also, tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of the death of Deputy Brian S. Etheridge, my dear friends husband. This week will undoubtably be an emotional week. We'll be going to Kansas City this weekend, for a girls weekend. Just keep Sarah and little Natalie in your prayers please.
Sorry this was such a modge-podge of thoughts, hopefully you could follow through... thanks for following!
