How far along?:  8 weeks 2 days

Maternity Clothes: nope, back in my reg jeans...they are uncomfortable when I sit though. 

Symptoms:  nausea/gag reflex is very touchy/ lots of throwing up. heightened sense of smell. extremely sleepy..like sleep 12 hours a night and still being exhausted after being awake for 2 hours..It is uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach already.

aversions: chicken, bananas, chicken, milk, chicken, oh and did I mention chicken?

What I miss: I've had a weird craving for margaritas...so alcohol? lol That sounds so bad..

Milestones: The excitement, nervousness, and freaking out phases have passed, so now time is going by faster cuz I'm not constantly thinking about being pregnant...which is nice because I'm SO impatient. 

No bump to take a pic of yet. Maybe in a few weeks. :)

I DO have some other news though. 

I have a little habit of getting excited about something, posting about it, and then plans change...that's kinda why I'm been MIA lately..cuz I'm waiting for a final "yes" for these plans....

BUT I'm like 90% sure this is happening, so I might as well share. 

We are building our first home. 

Plans are being drawn up and we should be going to the bank to talk details this week.

I can't even begin to explain how excited I am about this. 

My dream has ALWAYS been to have ONE home that my children grow up in.

The one place where they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. 

I cannot wait to make our home together. ♥
