I didn't blog when I was preganant with the girls, but I've decided that I'll document all the milestones for this one.
Week: 8
Baby Size: About the size of a blueberry. The girls have nicknamed it Peanut!My size/weight gain: I'm down 2 pounds this week.
Clothes:
I'm looking forward to the maternity jeans soon! I feel like my body is already changing alot! I did buy a maternity bathing suit (my first EVER) this week. I plan on swimming a LOT in Lolly's new pool!
Cravings:
I'm craving lots of meat! I really want salty, greasy food. I know that's bad, but I'm sure it will change.
Symptoms:
Extremely tired - especially around 3 in the afternoon. Luckily, the girls are extremely understanding and let me "rest" on the couch before dinner.
Sleep:
I'm waking up around 4 every morning! This is not like me at all! I am quite the sleeper and could probably sleep through a tornado if it wasn't for me needing to go to the bathroom.
Stories to not forget:
We told our families over Easter weekend. We gave a gift to our parents that was a little onsie that said "Hi I'm New Here". Everyone was very surprised and very excited!! Landrie's initial reaction was tears - she was very worried about the attention the baby would be getting. By the next morning, she was really excited though and she talks about the baby constantly!!!
The girls have had tons of questions, mostly about how long I'll be in the hospital and who will take care of them while I'm gone.
Our due date is an interesting one...12-16-11 is the day before State Championship Football in Texas. Considering that we have been to the last dance the last 2 years, we'll definitely be discussing a scheduled induction for this baby.
More to come soon...I need to do an Easter post soon!

Congratulations!!!! Thanks for sharing.
God bless your pregnancy.
Congrats!! Oh the joys of being a Coaching Family never stop. Our second was induced and part of the reason (only part) was because she was due right around state basketball tournament time. I understand. Congrats again!
We are so excited!!!
Love this......and can't wait for more of the blog about baby to come. And please reassure Landrie and Karsyn that Gigi is already planning to help take care of them when baby comes.
Congrats!! So fun! And glad you are blogging about it. It will be neat to go back and reread your blog later to relive it - and what great documentation for your new baby ;-)
Congrats!! So exciting! Blessings for your pregnancy =)
