My brackets

So, I guess the baby must be mad too that Memphis disappointed in my brackets because he/she has been giving me some serious indigestion this week. Fortunately, it hasn't really been followed with any nausea so that has been a blessing.

I saw my brother today at the gym and he poked my belly and told me that "his nephew" was incubating in there. He said he knew I wanted a boy because boys are just so much easier. Haha. Ask my parents which one of us they thought was easier....

All the ladies at work and church are now starting to pat my baby bump. One lady at work today told me that I was looking "bloaty." Are you serious? Do NOT ever tell a woman gaining weight really for the first time in her life that she looks "bloaty!" Ask Nathan... one day he affectionately called it my "pudge." FYI...the list of acceptable terms to label my belly are: bump, bulge, pooch and pouch. If you call it anything else, be prepared to have a hormonal pregnant lady pounce on you!

Baby bump 11 weeks

I am starting to show with my little baby bump. I have never been so excited to gain weight in my life! I lost 10 pounds in the first 8 weeks of my pregnancy from all the nausea and lack of eating 3 square meals a day. Fortunately, my weight is increasing at about 1/4 pound each time I've been weighed.


My "cravings"?: For the most part, I would say I've had major food aversions. It has been difficult for me to decide ANYTHING that I might want to eat. But right now, the smell of onions, bananas, and fruity chewing gum really turns me off. The two things I find myself wanting a lot of right now are 1. Gatorade and 2. Lunchables (meat, cheese and crackers). It can be Lunchables of any kind, but I prefer the ham although the turkey and bologna run a close second.

This picture is from our exciting trip to Tampa where we surprised Nathan's parents with the news that they are going to be grandparents. We went to the SEC men's basketball tournament in Tampa to support Nathan's alma mater, Mississippi State (who won the tournament, btw!) and I sported my "Future Bulldog" shirt to see how long it would take for them to figure it out! How many times do you get to announce that you're pregnant to a thousand Mississippi State fans?

So yes, we're pregnant

I am 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. My baby is about the size of a lime! The last few days I have been slowly feeling better and haven't had near as much nausea. Nathan and I walked 2 miles last night and I was super hyper. He wondered what was wrong with me because my usual routine is coming home and going straight to bed after work! This past weekend I finally cleaned the house and finished my laundry. I can also finally make some dinner for my poor husband who has been living on ham and cheese sandwiches and take out for the last 6-8 weeks.

It's hard to believe that I'm 1/4 of the way through my pregnancy already...October 11th will be here before we know it!

Just thought it was time

I know everyone just wants to know so much about us so I thought it was time to start blogging so I can post pictures too!
