6 to 8 Weeks

So it's been a while since I have had a chance to post any belly pics or do my weekly updates. I have been really busy with work the last few weeks, so now I am hoping to be more regular with my updates! Especially since my belly is getting bigger by the day :) 

I am now 8 weeks and 3 days! Even though I didn't have a chance to get Matt to take my picture every week, I did decorate chalkboards for 5, 6 and 7 weeks. All the pictures will be at the end of this post. 

The past 2 weeks I have been dealing with morning sickness. It is really more like all day sickness. I feel like I have a hangover or the flu all day long. I have found that eating small snacks more frequently throughout the day helps me feel better. But honestly I am still enjoying every single day of this pregnancy. I know that the more symptoms I have, the healthier our baby is. We have our first doctor visit on Friday, so we will find out how things are going and how many babies are in there! :)

Baby B is coming in October!

My husband Matt and I found out on Sunday that I am pregnant! We have been trying to get pregnant since September 2012. We are so happy to finally be able to start the next chapter of our life. 

During my pregnancy, I will be documenting each week with a chalkboard. I know this idea has become very popular in the last couple years, but I just think it is such a cute way to keep track of all my future belly pictures. I got this great idea off of pinterest, of course! Chalkboard Inspiration Also, I will be doing a weekly survey along with the chalkboard pictures.
