Week 7

Week 7 has nearly come and gone!  We took our week 7 bump pic the day before Thanksgiving and then we both got out of work, we headed to Etown for the break... thus little time for updating the blog!  Though I do have lots of updates to give :)  We have told both our immediate families in the past couple weekends!!

We told my family on the 19th over dinner at home.  Cam had previously found out and somehow coerced David into coming home for Olivia's academic team meet that weekend so the whole fam was there which was awesome.  I asked Mom to order Chinese food for dinner and we were planning on using the rest of the fortune cookies that I originally used to tell Andy.  I assumed everyone would eat and then open their cookie but while we were icing glasses before dinner, Olivia cracked hers open.  We watched her read it over and over again to herself and then she comes up to me and asks if I'm pregnant! The rest of the fam took a minute to catch on but they were all pretty excited :) David officially thinks he's going to be the coolest uncle ever and Olivia is super concerned with it being a girl :)  I had found a cute little poem online to break the new baby news so gave that to my parents along with a sweet little ornament that said "Best Grandparents - David and Jackie."

We decided to tell Andy's parents over Thanksgiving since his brother would be home.  We kept it a secret throughout dinner and afterwards, we gave them our Christmas card which also had the little poem inside.  His mom was completely shocked and apparently was not expecting this until after I was finished with school... nonetheless very excited though :)  They also loved their little Christmas ornament!

I've been feeling pretty "vomitus" off and on throughout the days though I am yet to actually get sick... though I've thought I was going to have to run out of patients rooms a couple of times to be sick.  I'm also still pretty sleepy :) Slept for 9.5 hrs Saturday night, took a two hour nap on Sunday and was still ready for bed around 9 that night!  It's a struggle not to be a slug whenever I get home from the hospital and it's so cold outside :)

Tomorrow is our first big ultrasound so we are very excited for that! They typically scan around 8 weeks and I guess it's just to date the pregnancy and count the healthy babies ;)  We are excited to hear a heartbeat and feel comfortable enough to tell a few more people!
