8 Weeks!

I went to the doctor yesterday and I am exactly as far along as I thought..8 weeks! I will be 9 weeks on Sunday and my official due date is January 16, 2011. The doctor said the baby has a strong heartbeat and everything looks great. I was in awe of the heartbeat. It just seems so surreal and unbelievable. Something that tiny with such a strong little heartbeat is amazing. It is beyond amazing to see. The baby's heartbeat is right in the middle (the darker spot) and his or her head is facing down in the ultrasound. Everytime I think about all of this..our baby and anything that has to do with my pregnancy..I am just so thankful. I think all moms and moms-to-be will understand what I'm saying...you cannot feel anything but blessed.

My next ultrasound will be July 6. The nausea has eased up (thank goodness!..as long as I'm not around uncooked meat..can't handle that) and I've just been feeling tired. I also cannot get enough Mexican food! I could eat tacos morning, noon, and night. It's too bad my husband doesn't share the same love for it! It's all I've wanted since the VERY beginning. When I flew home from Tennessee, all I could think about on the flight was tacos. I made Drew stop by Taco Bell on the way home. Truthfully, I had a sneaky feeling I was pregnant then. I think I even sent Drew a text telling him that while I was in Tennessee. Just like everyone always says, you'll just know when you are :)

And yes, I am eating things other (and healthier) than tacos :) So don't worry, grandparents!
