Thank the Lord I have been able to get through the first 8 weeks without getting really sick (yet.) But what I have been struggling with is nothing other than pure exhaustion!!! I go to bed by 9:00 most nights and have to drag myself out of bed at almost 7 every morning. By the time I get home from work I'm ready to go to bed for the day, but force myself to stay awake at least until Alan gets home from work :) As I mentioned before I haven't gotten sick, but I have felt "puny" most of the day.
As far as cravings are concerned, the first few weeks after finding out I was pregnant all I wanted and could tolerate eating was chicken fingers and french fries. Needless to say, I gained 3 pounds in the first 3 weeks! But now all I want is cheese, bananas, applesauce, and yogurt. So, the fruit and dairy are taken care of... For those of you that know me well, you will be surprised to know that I have no desire to eat anything chocolate or really sweet.
It's taken a little while for Alan to get used to the idea of our family of 2 soon changing to 3, but he's beginning to come around. After I told him that I was pregnant, I wasn't able to mention the word "baby" for at least 3 days because he was so shocked. That being said, this "little one" was not our idea, but apparently God's!
I haven't taken any belly pictures yet, and refuse to call it my "baby bump." It may be strange, but I never really liked using that term. I may refer to it as the "belly explosion" later in the pregnancy! I'll probably start the pictures around week 10-12.
I'm curious to read what any of you think about my cravings and if it means we're having a boy or a girl. At this point, I just hope it's one baby and not two :)
Well, that's all of my ramblings...
Thanks for the prayers.
