Symptoms

I start week six today! According to "What to Expect":

Your baby's jaw, cheeks, chin, eyes, ears, and nose are beginning to form what will eventually become one adorable face. In addition, her kidneys, liver, and lungs are developing, and her heart is now beating 80 times a minute (and getting faster every day). All this and she's still no bigger than the length of a nail head (about a quarter of an inch) from crown to rump!

And I should expect bloating, queasiness and cravings! YAY! Yesterday the combination of pizza, popcorn and baby movies got me excited. Tara and I watched Juno, Knocked Up and Baby Mama. I think everyone is getting excited as its sinking in. My mom is already planning a baby shower in October. Right now I feel uberly nauseous and my boobs hurt. Taylor tells his dad/family today. That makes me nervous. I still havent told my dad, hopefully he will be ok. It is still weird to think that I am going to be a mom in February. I calculated my due date to be on the 12th but I still need to make an appt with the ob-gyn. Still dont know where I am going to live or where I will go to school... These decisions are hard and I want to make sure I am making the right choice for me and my baby. I think the prenatal vitamins make me sick but I need to take them so poppy gets her nutrients. Tara already wants to make bets as to what the gender is. My mom said boy twins! Haha... greaatt! Crazy thing is that twins run on both sides of my family. So, I really do have a good chance. That would just be insane.

I was looking up some names last night. I want the baby to have a good name. Its hard but I still have time. I like Avery for a girl and Taylor and I like Landon for a boy. We always have :) But we will just have to see. Tara is excited about the gender cake party, so is my mom and Taylor. So thats probably what we will end up doing. I am gonna shower and go look at baby stuff :) :) :)

Lots of love from Poppy and Aly <3
