Introducing Baby "L"

Let me tell you about this new world i have found myself in... It is a world of hope and dreams of this baby morykon, we are calling baby "L" since both names we chose for a girl or boy start with L. This has been a time of reflection, excitement and uncertainty. I have no idea what any day will bring. Most days i feel pretty crappy, this nausea stays with me all the time. Like yesterday i almost missed our appointment i felt so terrible! We went for our first ultrasound and i finally met my new doctor, Dr Phemister. I'm so excited he is so great! The baby was so adorable. In this picture her head is the biggest ball then the ball to the right is her body you can see her arms and legs too. We could see her moving and got to see the heart beat it was so cool. I didn't think it would be that big of a reality check for me, but i surprised myself and actually cried when i saw her. She is about an inch long, the size of an olive right now. I am excited about this new life with baby "L" but really wish i could get past this morning sickness. According to the doctor who told me i could take motion sickness medicine in the mean time, said that i was in the worse part and it should be over soon.

i sleep so hard at night it is difficult to get up. I've been sleeping on my back which is weird, i usually sleep on my side. I know soon i will only be able to sleep on my side, left side that is. (so i heard) I am always hungry. These days all i think about is where is my food, my snack. I don't really think about regular food: pasta, steak or dinners of any sort but just snacks. That's all i seem to handle any more. Cheetos, ricecakes, and fruit.. i eat tooons of fruit, that's what keep me going. I knew i was one to enjoy food b4, but this thinking about it all the time is out of control. I'm "one of those" who carry's snacks in my purse now! i swear i'm munching on something all day long. I've gained at least 3 pounds and i know many more to come. I've already started seeing my big belly. What's with the back love handles tho? where did they come from? i had a panic moment this morning b4 i got in the shower. Oh my gosh i'm only 9 weeks i'm going to be a whale by the time this baby comes!

I have neglected all of my known friends they probly wonder if i'm still alive. I am, we are. Me and her just trying to get thru this hard time. Today has been a good day. Brian and i spend the morning together that was nice. I haven't felt to sick.. time for a nap tho. keep us in your prayers. Thanks for reading.
