8 weeks.

So we're 8 weeks along with 32 more to go!
Although I would be dead shocked if the baby was born around 40 weeks.
Olivia was born at 37 weeks so I'm thinking this baby will be a little early too.

I can not believe how much my little tummy is growing. 
It is still cute and small now but oh my gosh, I can't believe I already have a tummy at 8 weeks.
It is just crazy to me.
When my tummy looked like this when I was pregnant with Olivia I was 20 weeks along.

Well besides the fact that our little raspberry is growing so very quickly the only other real symptom I've had is the morning sickness.
And it has been bad.
Really bad.
I don't want to complain about it because a huge part of me is so relieved when I wake up sick in the morning because I know our little one is safe and sound, but the other part of me has really been struggling.
It's been hard to take care of Olivia and have all our usual fun together as well as do all the other things wifes do like cleaning, cooking, and laundry when I feel like I need sit by the toilet all day.
But it will pass.
And as hard as it is be sick and emotional all day everyday, I couldn't be more grateful for our little baby. And I honestly would go through anything to get them here.

I had my first doctor's appointment.
I met with a nurse and went over a bunch of things and then had a bunch of lab work done.
They prescribed me some anti-nausea medication but it makes me so tired I can hardly function.
So it looks like I'm going to have to deal with the sickness.

So enough about the sickness and more about our plans for this baby.
Well name plans at least!
I really would be thrilled to have either gender.
I think Michael would prefer a boy but he did say he would be excited about another girl.

Here is our name list:
 Girl: 
Clara Rose
Charlotte Isabel
(Not 100% sure on the middle names yet)

Boy:
Joshua Michael
William Michael

We still are not 100 percent sure on boy names. We just know we would want his middle name to be Michael.

But I guess we'll find out in like 12 weeks!
Oh my gosh it seems like forever.
I can hardly wait!
