Baby's first gifts
Baby Grant got Christmas gifts! It was very exciting. Uncle Glenn and Aunt Ricki gave the baby an adorable white teddy bear. Grandma Grant gave both our baby and Barry and Riley's baby some duck slippers, a duck onesie, and the book Fuzzy Duckling! All of these baby clothes are so cute....I think I am going to be broke buying all of these cute clothes. I am 8 weeks and 5 days today. My next doctor's appointment is on the 4th, where we will meet with the doctor before she has her baby at the end of January. I think I am going to soon have to buy some maternity pants, as my work pants are tightening up!!! I think that the baby is going to like spicy food, because I can't get enough of it--I had a buffalo chicken salad for lunch, and I am thinking about a baked potato with salsa for dinner!!!

Ultrasound - *Warning* Explicit photos
This morning Mary and I went for the ultrasound. It was incredible. We started with the ultrasound and saw the nurse practitioner after that. We had a list of questions and they were all well answered. Seeing the baby made it all seem very real and exciting. I think until this morning we were still kind of in disbelief. Not anymore. That butter bean is for real. At this point, the vertebra is developing and everything looks good, which we are so grateful for. Our due date is August 2nd, 2008. As of today, Mary is 7 weeks and 5 days along. She is doing an awesome job, she has kicked caffeine and I'm sure by the end of the weekend she will have read enough to earn a phd in babies. Oh - Sorry Christy - Only one baby in that belly!

Coffee
OK, so now I can't even drink decaf!!!! I love coffee, and had a hard time going from 4-5 cups a day to 2 cups of decaf. Now, I can't even drink that--it turns my stomach!!! I can't believe that my beloved coffee is doing me this way. I hope that after the first trimester I can at least have a cup of decaf now and then...but after trying it yesterday and today, I'm done...poured both out after a couple of sips!!!
On another note, I am loving grape juice! I guess that's my new coffee. Juicy Juice Grape is the best! 100% juice and very grapey!!!
3 more days til the ultrasound.....

Now I'm scared
OK, I had a freaky dream last night and now I am scared. I dreamed that Brad and I had a perfect baby girl. However, when we got her home, she grew ugly, pointy teeth and a ton of hair. When I tried to feed her, she spit it back at me. When I tried to wipe her mouth, she bit me. She could talk, to me only, and was really mean and ugly to me. She was devil child! She was perfect for everyone else, and only was mean to me when no one else could see. Only I could see the ugly teeth and hair...they went away when anyone else was around. PLEASE don't let that happen to me!!!!!

Six Weeks
Well, we're at six weeks! Today I am feeling really wiped out. I came home from work early and pretty much just laid around all afternoon. I was caught up at work, and have a very busy day tomorrow, so I came home and rested. I am not having a lot of pregnancy symptoms other than fatigue at this point. I really hope I don't get a lot of nausea like Riley is having. She is evidently very sick every day. I hate that for her, but pray I don't get that part of it!
We are going to tell Brad's family tomorrow night at his mom's birthday celebration. I think they will be excited. I am still cautious until we see the doctor, but it's less than 2 weeks now until our appointment and ultrasound.
I did another pregnancy test yesterday morning. I know it is silly, but I wanted to be sure. The positive sign showed up immediately, which made me giggly. Every day I get more excited about the baby!!! Until next time......
