I am craving so many different foods today! Which is better than the thought of any food at all making me sick. The thing I want the most is La Carreta's queso dip and a chicken quesadilla! Tonight is lasagna for supper, and I am super excited. My snack today was frozen fruit, and I found out I do not like mangos. Just mango flavored things. I'm pretty sure, the source of most of my cravings is TV commercials. Also, I am so hungry, and we have very little here to eat. I cleaned out the fridge this weekend when I was hating food, so I threw out a lot of stuff. Most of it was bad, though.
I ordered my kindle today! Josh and I have been saving money after we got some other fun/necessary things for the car. Kindle arrives Thursday, and I am sooo excited!

Early Morning Musings
Okay, so 9:00 am is not that early, but I'm up all by myself here and no good Sunday cartoons are on TV. (On that note, I'm investing in dvd's for my kid's cartoons. These days, they are scary or dumb. Hello, Muppet Babies and Fraggle Rock.)
We have decided on a girl's name. If she's a she, Sophie Hart. I think it's so pretty. Almost makes me hope for a girl, but I'm trying not to hope to much either way.
If he's a he, it's William [middle name]. It's always been William, after Josh's dad. (That's where Hart came from for the girl, too.) We are still playing with nicknames, but I'm thinking not Will or Willy. And we also aren't sure on a middle name. I thought Tyler was nice. I don't want it kind of playful because "William" just sounds so serious and official by itself. I don't want his name to sound like a bank. William Chase. Nice, but not for me.
The nursery will be Dr. Seuss. It's a little hard to find things, though, except for the recent movie version of products. Obviously not what I'm looking for. I did find some fun things on Etsy. Also, there's just so much to choose from for both boy and girl specific nursery themes. It's so hard.
But, we did get the room cleared out yesterday with the help of my mom. Don't ask where most of the stuff ended up. We'll have another (different) room clearing day soon. The walls right now are dismal grey, so we still have to pick a nice color for the room. I'm hoping for a pretty blue or calming green. For a boy or girl. No pinks, and my nieces' room is purple - no copying.
Also, everyone should know that earlier when I wrote "dvd's," I first put "video tapes." I miss them. :P

Ultrasound!
Today was the first ultrasound. I am 9 weeks along, as we thought, and the baby is 2.5 cm long.
The tech showed us the head, heartbeat, little arm, and timy little foot. The little foot is at the bottom if you can see anything at all. :P

Tums, Tylenol, and Flintstones
These past couple weeks have been rough! I'm experiencing the Inconvenient Truth about pregnancy. I don't know when I'm supposed to morph into Hungry Hungry Hippo, but it's not yet! Just the thought of food makes me nauseous. I do still love cereal. Mmmm - Crispix. Waffles are also saving me. Anytime I need something carby and quick, and I don't have bread for toast, waffle it is. Mostly because I hate saltines. I'm also tired of Sprite. And I am over chewing on pink chalk, but Tums is a necessary element of pregnancy. I don't have morning sickness, but I feel so sick every day. Mornings are generally okay (if I slept the night before), but after lunch I generally go downhill and nighttime is just awful. I just sit there making zombie noises and requesting things that are annoyingly close (such as juice or a pillow and blankie). Poor, Josh. Our house is in disarray! I'm working on the laundry right now. Today is actually a good day. As long as I keep the tums and Tylenol within reach and take my Flintstones vitamins twice a day. :)
I'm waiting on the doctors office to call me back so I can make my first appointment. I guess I'll be hearing from them tomorrow.... I would very much like to start seeing the doctor. My original motivation was to make everything finally feel real. But now, I know it's real - I feel it constantly. I do want to see a sonogram. Also, I want to complain to even more people about being so icky. ;)
