8 weeks 6 days

Well it’s been a good couple of weeks since I have written. I tell my young life girls tonight. I really wanted them all to be here but of coarse some are busy or out of town. Oh well, I am nervous though. Today I haven’t been feeling well. I have been tired since yesterday, weak and lightheaded. I thought I would feel better after lunch but I just want to sleeeeep! I still have to go home and clean and cook dinner. Blah. I woke up this morning to the stench of cat litter, so Taylor is going to come over when I get off work to change it for me ☺ He’s been really good to me. We really haven’t had any problems so that’s good. We are going to start counseling on the 25th of this month, which should be good. His mom offered to pay for it. His family came in town this past weekend and everything was good except Caroline. Hopefully she will come around soon. I hope so. His mom said that she thinks everything will be okay. I agree, its just the process of getting there that is going to be hard. I really do appreciate her being so nice and open and welcoming to me though. That made me feel 100X better. So the picture is the baby at 8 weeks and 5 days. Huge growth spurt!!! S/he is now 1 inch long and will just get bigger and bigger. Its weird bc during the times I don’t have my ultrasound I feel unpregnant. Like I wonder if its still there and if everything is ok… but no worries, everything looks good so far! Dr. Serrano did say that I will probably need a C section, which is ok. I think it will be a good thing to have a planned procedure to make sure everyone from out of town can come in if they want. I am excited. My due date is February 9th but I will probably deliver mid-January. That seems sooo soon!! And I can’t wait to find out the gender and buy stuff for the baby and decorate the nursery. I am also really glad Taylor has been so good and supportive to me. I think he seems really excited and completely on-board. He wants to move in with me in August, which is also a scary step. I have only lived with one person, well technically two, and it did not turn out good. Hopefully counseling will help us to get prepared for parenthood and a lasting relationship. I think I can see myself with him. I hope everything works out. Every time we hang out I like him more and more and he has been treating me really well, so things seem to be going in the right direction.

Other than that I have been feeling well for the most part, with exception of today. This past 4th of July weekend was really fun. I even lost a pound according to my doctor. I guess nausea and lack of appetite will to that to you, even if you are pregnant. It still seems a little unreal but watching the ultrasound and seeing the baby move for the first time was magical.

Ill be updating!

Love,
Alyssa and Olive
