It was a cold and rainy afternoon today as Aaron and I drove to our second Doctor appointment, and had our very first ultrasound ♥

Recently I was featured on topbabyblogs.com, and a woman who saw my blog through this site sent me a message.

“Hi Sherry,  I found your blog through top baby blogs (yours was the featured one). I cried with joy for you when I read about your pregnancy test! How wonderful! It is wonderful how God works.  God does give us the desires of our hearts.  I will be eagerly following your pregnancy and can’t wait till you’re due!  -Rachel”

I love getting messages like this.  I love hearing about women like me who read my blog, and are going through the same journey.  Let me know you’re out there! I would love to hear from you!

This week I feel as though I’ve finally went through some sort of pregnancy right of passage.  I puked.  I puked while I was brushing my teeth.  Yuck.  Nothing came up though.  I just had horrible dry heaving.  I actually did feel some relief after that happened, and later that morning my hubby got me a McGriddle sandwich and I ate all of it.  Later that evening, I cooked some carrots and potatoes in the crock pot, but I couldn’t eat it :(  It seems like once the evening rolls around, I always feel worse, and I just want to go to bed.

I think it’s time for a new bra.  I haven’t really had much breast tenderness.  It’s just that once I get out of bed I feel like I’m carrying a couple of densely packed cantaloupes.

I’m really bummed about Thanksgiving.  I don’t see myself feeling better in just 4 days.  I don’t think I will be sitting down to huge Thanksgiving meal this year.  Lately, it’s the smell of meat that make my stomach crinkle up like a raisin, and also any strong smells like onions or garlic.  Still… I am hoping I can make some stuffing or pumpkin pie on Thursday.  I look forward to Holiday baking all year long!

Here is a video update on baby! …

This week was pretty much like last week.  Still nauseous.  I lost 5 pounds.  Aaron went out to get me some raspberry sherbet.  That’s the only thing that sounds good to me right now.  I’ve tried to drink ginger ale,  peppermint tea, ginger tea, and eat Altoids.  It doesn’t take away my sour stomach.  Nothing does.

I did well on my Biology exam.  It was the most difficult exam yet, and I was feeling very sick when I was taking it.  I was predicting I would get a C.  It turns out I got a B.  I know this is a good grade, but I just want to keep striving for A’s.  I don’t want to just get good grades.  I want the best grades.  

Also this week, I took a test online for my other class I’m taking; Interpersonal Communications.  I had an hour to complete the test online.  I got it done in 12 minutes, and I got a 25 out of 25!  Yay me!!!

I’m thankful for the progress I’m making academically.  I’m also thankful that my husband has been so helpful these past couple weeks while I’ve been feeling so bad.  

Pregnancy is really a blessing when it’s planned, and prepared for.  I waited for God to bring my Husband into my life, and then we prepared for a family.   It’s a wonderful feeling to know that my Husband committed his life to me before he committed his life to fatherhood.  Our baby is going to be one lucky kid! ♥

I am 8 weeks pregnant, and here is video on baby’s progress! …
