Update at our 7.5 week point

We are still keeping this a secret from most people, so far we have told family and some friends... Mostly people have been guessing and it is so hard to lie face to face. I have never been one to be able to just keep a secret, so holding it in that we are finally pregnant is a battle... I know that once we get to see the baby next week at our ultrasound appt that I will feel so much safer. After loosing our baby in July around the 5th week was hard and I knew I couldn't go through that again so soon. I hope later when we do tell everyone that people do not feel hurt that we didn't tell them right away, but just rejoice with us that we have gotten through the beginning and are still going strong.
 Our first appointment is on Friday - 23rd of Sept at 9am to go through my new chart and talk with a nurse about having a baby here in Germany. She will also make our appointment for the ultrasound :) Donny is still on mid shift and I pray he gets home in time to watch Kiefer, otherwise I will be a little stressed out having to take him with me. I hear though that the OB unit is kid friendly, but I haven't seen it myself, so the first time would be nice to go kidless... I do want Kiefer to come to the ultrasound appointment though, he asks me in the morning if the "baby sleep ever?" which is what we ask him meaning that we slept through the night :) He also puts his hand on my tummy to hold the baby... I have a feeling he is going to be supportive through out this process, lets just hope that he loves the baby as much on the outside....
    Had a crazy week last week, out of a carton of eggs - 7 had double yokes!!! I pray that isn't a sign....

This week has been a whole lot easier, last week I was so nauseous all of the time and didn't want to even think of anything sweet... BUT the week before that I was eating a carton of ice cream a day... Every time I stepped into the Xchange I want, no I needed ice cream...
SO OPPOSITE of Kiefer.... I wasn't sick one second with him and never had a single craving, but with this one NIGHT AND DAY!!! Smells, thoughts of certain foods give me immediate aversions... I am not impressed with this pregnancy at all right now... OH and my hair is falling out like crazy!!! Like huge amounts, I have to clean the drain everytime I shower and when I brush my hair it is insane how much comes out... I pray I am not bald in 8 months...

I just wanted to start a blog about this baby, now that we are almost to 8 weeks I feel safer saying something... I just can't wait to hear a heart beat and to see a little jellybean in there...

This picture was taken at our 6 week point... I did run the 10K remembrance run knowing that I had been pregnant for around 3 weeks, that is the reason I did not push myself to finish in a certain speed. I kept at a steady jog that kept my heart rate down, hens being able to talk in the video's and keep everyone updated on facebook...


We love you all...
