8 Weeks!!!

I'm already ending my 2nd month of being preggers!! Can you believe it?? I can't!  We are so excited and we really are amaized at how wonderful the tiny little changes have been! I have been feeling a little more nautious and icky in the morning but nothing that doesn't go away with either a little more sleep, or just flat out time. With time it just turns into hunger :) with sleep, it either goes away or turns into hunger ha ha ha. Again I can't tell you how big of a blessing it's been for us to have me stay healthy! I can't believe how incredible it is.

Drew and I have been pretty normal this week it's gone by pretty fast which is always a good thing. We did decide that we want our baby to grow up to be one of those kids that clean the aggie floor between timeouts and stuff :) that and there was a girl yesterday on the other side of the stadium that was doing the scottsman by herself in the middle of the isle. Cutest thing ever. I vowed that our child will know the aggie songs as soon as they can sing :)

My weight has been super weirdo lately but i've gone down which is weird because i'm eating more than i did at first.  Either way... I've been a rollercoaster from 102 one morning to 107 other morning. mostly it was around 105 or 103. .. like i said. it was very different all week long. weird.

SO! my favorite part :) i get to talk about the baby :)
8 Weeks: (note the frequent change between he and she because i have no clue)
baby will measure just under 1 inch, and he will weigh in at half an ounce. Yet her central nervous system and major organs will be nearly complete. His heart has four chambers, and by now the heart rate is probably a good, strong 160 beats per minute. baby's head is more upright now, but it's still nearly the same size as his body. And her skin, although formed, is still nearly transparent. The baby's eye structures are complete, he has tiny earlobes, and her wrist, elbow, and knee joints are visible. breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone.Baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though I can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs, and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.


I'm super tired lately because the exaustion is actually super duper kicking in so i just cut and pasted :( how sad is that? I am soo excited but i didn't have the energy to write it all myself ...so if there are any weird repeats of facts or the words don't fit together right... i'm sorry. you'll have to forgive me :)

I love you all!!! and thanks for following along with me :)

Ps. anyone have comments on those names? can i just mention that i found out they're all within the top 100 names of last year... ugh. drew and i have had those picked out forever since we started dating. i hate not being original sometimes. just saying. my baby is unique and they should have a name that no one else has that's not weird.
just saying.

Pps... i have a different style of picture of what the baby is because i didn't like the kidney bean picture. Raspberries are much better than kidney beans :)
