8 weeks, 3 days!

As many of you already know Thomas and I are expecting our first baby. We are both extremely excited. We just started calling the baby our little "Mexican jumping bean" because that's about the baby's size right now. We don't feel right calling the baby "it" so that's what we've agreed on=) I've been feeling okay lately. I'm always tired and naps have become my favorite after work activity. I'm nauseous at random times throughout the day, but it usually only lasts a few minutes. I'm thirsty all the time and that's probably due to my 30 trips to the bathroom every day, not including the 3 times I wake up during the night. Lately I've been craving anything with marinara sauce, which I didn't really care for before the pregnancy. My regular pants are getting pretty snug so I've been wearing anything that's stretch material. To everyone else I just look like I'm getting chubby but Thomas and I can notice my belly getting a little round shape. Every time I say I feel fat Thomas is there to make me feel better by saying, "You're not fat, you're pregnant! Our baby is making room to grow big." It's actually pretty cute. He's being great with everything. He's been right by my side at every doctor's appointment and hospital visit. The greatest moment so far was when we saw our little bean's heartbeat. That was such an amazing thing. I can't wait to hear the heartbeat. At our next appointment on June 30 we should be able to hear it. I'll be almost 12 weeks at that time. It's all so exciting!
