Lil' Hoff Update Week 7

Well I am officially out of the first trimester. So far, not so good. Woke up my first day out of my first trimester and how a serious case of morning sickness. The rest of the day I had nausea really bad. Second day out of my first trimester I was eating saltines by 8:00 and a Sprite by 8:15. Third day out of my first trimester I was still eating saltines by 8:00. Fourth day, so far so good. This has me worried that maybe something is wrong with Lil Hoff, but Farmboy told me not to think like that and he is right. What am I to worry? I have prayed about it and Lil' Hoff is in God's hands and has been since the beginning so who am I to try to interfere?

What's going on with Lil' Hoff

1. Lil' Hoff is almost 3 inches long, about the size of a medium shrimp.

2. Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips.

4. It's veins and organs are clearly visible through it's still-thin skin.

5. Lil' Hoff's  body is starting to catch up with it's head — which makes up just a third of it's body size now.

(I sure do hope it's a rather small head) 

What's going on with Me

1. The news continues to travel. People are generally shocked that we have kept it a secret so long. 

2. I celebrated my first official "unofficial" Mother's Day and did receive two Mother's Day cards.

3. I fall apart when is see big bows on little girls heads. 

4.I also helped my niece get ready for her Senior Prom. I can't believe how time flies. I was only 10 years old when she was born and here she is off embarking on a whole new part of her life.

5. I had my first belly touch and there isn't even anything there! I'm not sure, but I don't think I am going to like that part about being pregnant. 

6. I am still missing caffeine, but I believe that I am starting to get used to drinking so much water. It is actually tasting good and refreshing.

7. I tried to clean my flowerbeds out the other night of weeds and it completely wore me out. I am totally blaming that on the pregnancy. 

8. The good side of being pregnant, we are having really simple dinners around here and Farmboy is helping prepare them!

9. I have had a few food cravings this week. Nothing weird or anything but one day I was craving Captain D's and then another Shoney's and then I saw a mexican pizza from Taco Bell and I wanted that too.

10. It is getting harder and harder to find something to wear in the morning. I still want to look nice, but what I really want to wear is a t-shirt with sweatpants.
