Week 7 ( technically almost 8 ) has been a crazy week. Friday I was at work but around 10 am I realized something was wrong Manuel rushed to get me and  It was a scary 5 1/2 hours in the ER but everything ended up being okay. We got to hear  lima bean's heart beat for the first time. We have nicknamed you lima bean. The tech said it was beating at 150 beats a minute, while mine I am pretty sure was ready to explode. There are many things I am not good at ( i.e dancing,whistling, simple math and cooking without a receipe) but  I know without a doubt i am ready to be a mother.

 

I have spent this last week collecting ideas ( mostly from pinterest ). I am so ready for us to move into our new home so I can begin nesting. I feel a bit stuck in this apartment but I know this move will be a big one so we want to find the perfect home!

 

Here are a few highlights of week 7

 

Still have not had any morning sickness ( thank God ) although this morning I opened my prenatal vitamins to take one after breakfast and it smelled rancid, like fish, I did not take one.

 

Lately, I have been only wanting to eat foods that sound appetizing. For instance, If i can't eat pasta,  then I don't want anything else. It has been like this for about two weeks. I am still eating in moderation but the foods are not as healthy as I would like. Nothing I can do about it though except just keep listening to what my body feels.

 

Saltine crackers have been my go to snack.

 

Peanut butter is always good.

 

We have picked out the names Malakai and Nora but we are still deciding on middle names.

 

We still haven't made an offical announcement, so far family and a few friends are in the loop.

 

I have started using coconut oil religiously, in my baths, as a facemask, and on my body to help with stretchmarks

 

I am thankful that I have always loved water, so drinking water and nothing else is normal to me.

 

I still need a sprite or sierra mist every now and then to soothe nasuea.

 

I am sleeping better at night, a few weird dreams, but no insomnia which I am thankful for.
