Aside from you disliking my waffles on Monday morning, we have been feeling better this week, but still tired as all get out. I tried to get away with just having a smoothie for breakfast on Thursday and that didn't go well, I felt so faint from lack of food I had to go eat a bagel.
We have had a pretty boring week because your dad has been out of town. We did go to dinner with the girls last night and while they celebrated you being inside me, we drank water. I finally got around to uploading photos onto Facebook, so now everyone can see how I told your dad and the rest of the family.
I am so happy you are inside of me, but if we could stop being so exhausted ALL DAY that would be fantastic!

11 weeks
Dear Baby Strong,
We finally let the cat out of the bag and let everyone know about you. We tried to tell your aunt Kelly in person, but she was sick, so we had to call her over the phone. We told the Morgan's over Skype, we started the video chat with a pacifier in my mouth and they knew immediately what was going on.
It took a long time but we were able to call and text everyone in enough time to go live on Facebook last night. Nobody expected it, that's for sure. The quote I used was first came love (May 2006) then came marriage (April 2010) now comes baby Strong in the baby carriage (August 2012). It was so exciting to see everyone reaction!
This weekend we went to Anna Maria for your Gams' birthday. We tried some O'Douls, it was delish. We tried to eat a steak, but you really didn't care for the flavoring. I had a dream about wild tomatoes growing around the house, so that's all I have been eating/craving all weekend.
Of course we didn't get to go in the hot tub, but hanging my feet in was just as nice. No beach though, it was too cold and the girls all just got pedis and we didn't want to ruin them :)
Well that's all the updating I have for you now.

10 ish weeks: We got to see you today!!!
Dear little Fig (that's how big you are),
So your dad and I went in for our appointment this morning and the nurse and the doctor had a hard time finding your heartbeat. They decided its because I have a tilted uterus, so they couldn't hear you yet.
I was freaking out inside, your dad was as cool as a cucumber.
So they gave me an ultrasound and we got to see you move your little arms and legs. It took my breath away and we found out we are 11w 3d rather than 10w 6d. YAY! Your dad thinks I planned the ultrasound, but either way it was AMAZING!!!!!!!! I have also lost 3 lbs, but thats bc you won't let me enjoy anything. Last night your dad made delicious salmon and I made a side of garlic mushrooms. Guess what we ate? A bowl full of mushrooms. Thanks baby.
Now about that seafood experience we had last weekend. You had me craving snow crab, to the point that it was appearing in my dreams. So I order the largest amount of seafood and maine lobster on the menu and you let me eat one cluster and one claw. That was NOT cool kid. I'm known for my overeating of snow crab and you decided you were done too early. Luckily, you didn't reject it!
Here's a funny story for you. Your Aunt Kelly and I have been friends since the 2nd grade and your dad and I have been trying to find the time to tell them about you. Well Kelly has this feeling that I am pregnant. So instead of saying, oh I had no idea you were pregnant, its going to be more like, I told you so. Please, stay out of my friends dreams will ya?
This weekend we are going to the beach to celebrate your Gams' birthday. Please let me eat whatever I want!
Love you lots.
Here you and your cute self are at 11w 3d. Your head is at the bottom and your feet are at the top :)

We were doing SO good!
Dear little baby Strong,
STOP MAKING ME VOMIT! You used to LOVE banana smoothies, but this morning you rejected it, ice cold and all. Then I had a ginger tea to calm me down and we saw that too. COME ON! I am starving and I don't have any bland food with me, only food I WANT TO EAT AND NOT VOMIT!
Please, please I beg you. Let's get over this and QUICK!

9 1/2 Weeks
Dear little person inside me,
Please keep the no-throwing-up-thing, up. I've only thrown up a total of five times, but the last time was full of watermelon....my FAVORITE!! Your father is pretty sure you are going to come out pickled because thats all I EVER want to eat. It's sad too, I prefer to drink the juice over eating the actual pickle or pepper. Why can't they just sell pickle juice?? I really don't have anything new to report, although you are being nicer to my face by reducing the large amount of zits I had on it. I now don't have to wash my face obsessively three times a day :)
I am getting a little thicker, loosing my waist line, but since you don't seem to crave anything or have a particular liking of anything outside of the Chipotle menu, I'm still at the same weight I was the last time I went to the Dr. Tonight we are going to a dinner party and your dad and I have arranged a plan for me to "fake drink" since we still have to wait another TWO WEEKS to tell people! I took a bottle of riesling and made your dad drink it, don't worry he didn't complain. And then he poured white grape juice in the bottle so people will think I am drinking.
The people who are hosting the party are pregnant too, but she's only like six weeks along so it should be interesting to see her take on being pregnant.
Oh and your big brother Elvis is injured, he somehow hurt his back and now has to be confined to a crate for the next six weeks. Acey doesn't like it one bit!
Last weekend we went to your Aunt and Uncles new house and laid around all day, which is what you make me want to do anyway. It's really neat when the family calls to check on you and I'm always happy to say nothing new, same weird nausea and pickle cravings. I mean really, you are making me look the like the picture-perfect pregnant pickle monster. As long as you like them, I will continue eating them. Although, I do fear you will hate them later in life :) Also, you realllllllly love lemons, but they are SO bad for my teeth. I try to eat them secretly, but your dad makes that impossible.
We should have a nice relaxing weekend at home taking down Christmas decorations...yes its Jan. 13 and they are still up, stop judging me.

8 weeks
Over the weekend I hit 8 weeks and it has been pretty easy so far. We went camping in Arcadia with Cody's parents to celebrate the New Year. It was a lot of fun and instead of champagne I had sparking grape juice.
Cody's parents are so excited to be grandparents, his mom is already buying diapers and preparing for after the baby is born. On Monday Cody took me to the mall to buy fat pants and a new bra. Guess he got tired of me crying every time I got dressed. My new bra is a cup and a half size larger, it was the biggest bra they had in the store. I was in disbelief but I am SO much more comfortable. We also bought me fat pants because I am NOT wearing maternity jeans....yet. They are really comfortable and I'm glad we got them.
I had my second spout of morning sickness on Tuesday. My sinuses were clogged so I tried to clear them in the shower and the result was me getting sick in the shower. It was awful and I never want to experience that again! Then this morning Acey threw up and I had to talk myself out of throwing up next to him. It was not fun, but I overcame it.
Last night I had a league meeting and I met up with a girlfriends for drinking, like we do every month...I forgot I couldn't drink. At first I made up an excuse about being sick and not drinking, but then I decided she would totally catch on so I got a virgin bloody mary. I told the waitress to not say it was a virgin and she's like are you hiding something? LOL!
Its been smooth sailing so far, I just CANNOT wait to tell people! A girl I know just found out she is pregnant, but she is only four weeks and telling everyone. I think I'm just jealous that she is telling people and I am not. I really hope my friends aren't mad because I waited so long to tell them, but its something we decided on a long time ago. We just don't want to jinx anything.
