So my bestie Jamie gave me a great idea to let everyone know what's going on with the baby week to week, which I'll list below. Of course, I'm having one of those days where I feel extremely nauseous and tired. Oh and did I mention EMOTIONAL!!!??? Who knew this little nugget could already be causing so much havoc on me! Luckily James talked to our good friend Abraham (Double A) last night and his wife is 16 weeks pregnant and he promised me the sickness and tiredness would soon subside. I just hope I make it that long! And being the neurotic control freak I am, I'm worrying about all kinds of things that I can't control and/or don't have to worry about for at least the next 7 months. How is this baby, who will supposedly end up the size of a watermelon, exit from my body?? How bad will the pain be? What if I'm in labor for 20+ hours??? And what happens when the baby gets older and starts getting sick? What will happen to me when my baby throws up??? And what if I get the virus too? These are just some of the questions that I find myself freaking out over on a daily basis....I keep trying to remind myself that it will be my child and I'll love HER no matter what and it won't be so bad if SHE'S the one who is sick, but who am I kidding? I don't do throw up!
On top of worrying about the baby and how this is going to affect me, I'm also worried about the present. I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open all day at work. By the time I get home the last thing I get to do is help James with the kids or dinner or cleaning up even! I'm what I like to call a "dish nazi" and the dishes are piled up. I hear that the first trimester is really hard and it's okay if I let things go around the house, but I still feel guilty. And the dishes are definitely NOT doing themselves!
So now that I've gotten all the negative nancy stuff out of the way, I'm going to try to stay positive and happy :) Here's what's going on this week with me and baby....
HOW FAR ALONG: 8 weeks (baby is the size of a kidney bean)
SLEEP: As much as possible! (last night was almost 12 hours, but I find myself uncomfortable during the night)
FOOD CRAVINGS: Not too much so far, this week is grapefruit (thanks Mom!)
WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO: confirming that I will be having a beautiful baby girl :)
WHAT I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO: pretty much everything I listed above.
BABY NAMES: I love the names Emily, Sophie, Samantha and Christina for a girl. Anthony or Daniel for a boy.
I would love to hear your ideas for names too! I'm hoping this weekend me and Joli can have a girl's day and maybe go shopping and check out some cool baby stuff.
Love, Diana :)

You are going to be a great mom...barf and all. You've already had to deal with kids (by that I mean James and the little ones) throwing up before, so you will be fine. If I have kids and they start barfing, I am sending them to your house. By then you will be a pro :)
Love the names you have picked out. I like Adelynn and Lillianna for girls (Dustin hates them both). Never really thought of boys names.
I'm sending my kids to you too when they barf. I do NOT do barf! You know that! haha
Names: Love Emily! I considered adding it to my list of girl names. Love Adelynn! It's one of my favs right now. Caylin is one of my favs as well. I also like Brynn and Lauren a lot. Marcie is the best name ever though.
I like Reese for a boy or girl!
Boy names: Daniel is cool! Haven't heard it in a while. I also like Jacob, Ryan, Alexander, Dylan, Logan and Lukas!
Names and shopping, those are the easy parts! Sophie is my fave.
