7 weeks

Junior turned 7 weeks yesterday.

And is now approximately the size of a BlueBerry and approximately 10,000 times bigger than at conception

We told the rest of the family at dinner on Thursday about the pregnancy. I was nervous...But once the ball got rolling, we just had to tell everyone. From the hubs' side of the family to my side of the family, and then one of his nieces does this "Our family update" email and suddenly our news is being disseminated at the speed of the net!

It's weird. I have been feeling queasy on and off, not consistently. Sometimes when i'm hungry, or after I've had a bite of food, or after I've had my prenatal vitamins. And sometimes after smelling something icky. But never lasting v. long.

Now for a horrible testament to my cooking. Last night I had made dinner and we were watching the Olympics and at the crucial moment right before Michael Phelps was going to compete, the electricity died. We were going "grrr" but hung around for a bit, doing stuff outside while there was still some light to see by, and came back into the house after dark. The electricity was still off so I couldn't heat up the food. I took one bite of the coldish food and my stomach kinda twisted into a knot.

Long story short, we ended up at Chili's, about 7 mins away, where we watched the rest of the olympics, and lo and behold, I had no problem scarfing down all that deep fried, greasy fatty food. How terrible. Sorry, Junior. I promise to do better.
