"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" Psalm 127:3-5a

Mommy/LilBit Update: Week 8

Starting this week, I'll do a quick update every two weeks on what's going on with me and LilBit (our nickname for the little peanut)! So....

WEEK 8

Feeling: tired all the time, yet still waking up multiple times during the night. But other than that, feeling great! No morning sickness so far! Oh and I get emotional a lot, especially when overwhelmed with happy thoughts (watching tv shows/movies, walking through baby aisles in the store...)

Cravings: (these have been for the past few weeks) bean burritos, pizza, breakfast food (mainly cereal)

Food aversions: chocolate ice cream/frostys (except for my chocolate mint cookie ice cream, thankfully!), deviled eggs (boo!), garlic

Weight gain: none so far

LilBit: The baby is the size of a kidney bean. His/her fingers and toes are poking out and he/she is constantly moving and shifting though he/she isn't big enough for me to feel anything yet! At the ultrasound last Saturday, LilBit's heartbeat was nice and strong!

Baby purchases: We found the perfect little lovey at Mast General while we were downtown on Tuesday, going out to eat for my birthday! A little Winnie the Pooh one! We want to decorate the nursery (once we have a house) in Winnie the Pooh since David and I both liked it growing up and because it is perfect for a boy or girl. I love the light pastels, especially green! We also plan on painting a Winnie the Pooh mural on one wall of the nursery too, especially since I've drawn the WtP characters many times over the years. We're pretty excited, not gonna lie :)
