8 Weeks Pregnant

Well, we made it to 8 weeks!  Baby is the size of a raspberry.  I feel bloated, exhausted, and nauseous!  It's a bit different than when I was pregnant with Gabe.  I remember the nausea, mostly at night, but this time it is allllllll the time!  I finally found something that has been helping about 90% - acupressure on the inside of my wrists.  I try to nap as much as possible and bedtime has been officially moved to 8:30pm.  I sure hope the second trimester comes with renewed energy and no nausea!!  Here's to hoping and a speedy 4 weeks to come!

We decided to announce our pregnancy right around Mother's Day.  I'm brainstorming some ideas but nothing is firm yet.  I'd like to have Gabe involved, so I've been on Pinterest, hunting for ideas.

Things have been busy with the semester wrapping up way too quickly at work, and also with our last bedroom renovations at home.  We stripped the wood paneling and built-in bunk beds, insulated and sheetrocked the walls, laid new hardwood flooring, installed a ceiling fan, and painted.  (And when I say "we," I really mean Craig, though I helped with demo and painting.)  We still have some trim painting to go, but it truly is transformed.  Gabe is gearing up for moving in later this year!!  "This is MY room!"
