6 Weeks

I have been a bad blogger and haven't updated in awhile. Its been getting more difficult to get on the computer for any length of time. We have had a fun two weeks. She has been getting more and more active during the day and smiling now - Yes most of the time it's gas, but not all the time.

In the past two weeks she has been gaining weight, she is over 10lb now and doing well. She is much more awake during the day and is starting to sleep more at night. She is also getting on more of a schedule. We can usually get her to sleep between 10 and 11 and she sleeps until 3 or 4 am. Up for about a 1/2 hour or an hour and then back to bed until 7 or so.

I can't believe how big she is getting and how much she is growing up. Her eyes are starting to turn brownish green. I hope they stay that way, they will be like Mike's then and I LOVE his eyes. We made a trip up to the lake a few weeks ago and her cousin and her had a great time, even though it was chilly outside.

Gabby all bundled up. We put socks on her hands to keep them warm.

Mike and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary this past Saturday. It was a great day, my cousin Kim and her Fiance Craig got married on Saturday, so we got to spend the entire weekend with family. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary.

I am 5 Weeks!

I can't believe that I am about 5 weeks pregnant right now. It's crazy to even think that I am pregnant, but it's real. My body is telling me it's real. Wednesday while in a meeting at work, a woman was sitting next to me and started eating a yogurt. I almost had to get up and leave the meeting because the smell of the yogurt was awful. I apparently can't be around it at all. Mike had some chicken the other night and the container that he had heated it in was sitting next to me and I made him move it to upstairs, because the smell wasn't bad, but I just kept smelling it.

So luckily I haven't had morning sickness, but from what I have been reading that might not start until 6 weeks, so we will see what happens the next week. Cross your fingers that I don't get morning sickness :) 

I am getting super excited for my appointment on the 11th of January. I really can't wait to get an UltraSound. Hopefully they will do one at the appointment. I just can't wait until I get to that point and we can start telling people.

Mike and I were at a family event last night and my Aunt thought she had figured it out why I wasn't drinking. I told her no I wasn't pregnant. and then at the end of the night when the rest of the family was gone we told her, my uncle and my cousins. Swore them to secrecy. I hate holding it in. But Mike really wants to wait until we are 12 or so weeks, and I am going to try to compromise with him and wait until after our appointment, which will be at about 9 1/2 weeks or so. That way it's not as early as I want. Hopefully Christmas won't be too bad. I think now that my Aunt knows, it will help because she was really the only one that noticed and that was only because I was trying to stay away from Diet soda, caffeine and wine :) Otherwise I think it will be fine....I want to tell them all at Christmas, but I am trying to respect Mike's decision not to tell people, because it's his baby too.

Mexican Food Cravings....

Apparently Peanut likes Mexican food. All week long all that I have wanted cheesy chicken quesadillas, burritos, tacos, anything with cheese, rice, beans, onions, spiciness....We are going out with friends tonight and I am sort of hoping that something like that is on the menu. We will see, keep your fingers crossed. :)
