Nugget Report!

Friends, Family and Internet Crazies I hope you feel special because I am blogging instead of taking a nap right now. You are loved.

I haven't posted much about Obi-WanAhsoka (Jack decided if we're having a boy his name should be Obi-Wan Kenobi. If it's a girl she should be Ahsoka so until he/she is born and we know which he/she is, we're referring to the l'il nugget as "Obi-WanAhsoka.") but here's the skinny:
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and pretty much feel like death. I don't throw up everyday, but I wish I could. I'm nauseated all day long everyday. I'm not as sick as I was with Elisabeth, which is nice, but I AM more sick than I was with Jack. Pretty much I have to choose between eating or moving. Can't do both. It's been hard to feel like I can't really take care of my family like I should--we ate out more in the month of December than pretty much the entire 8 years we've been married! No exaggeration! So while I grow a person, Scott does everything else. I can't help but think that's unfair since he works hard all day and to have to come home and do my job too just makes me feel bad. I'm lucky he's willing to do it!
I had an appointment with my midwife yesterday (have I mentioned how much I LOVE her? She's seriously wonderful.) and it was pretty cool. She does an ultrasound at each appointment and it was so cool yesterday to see the little nugget, not as a nugget like he/she was last month, but an actual BABY with a facial profile and arms and legs! It never ceases to be breathtaking. Christy (our midwife) mentioned that it's no wonder I'm so sick, this little baby is crazy active! He/she was kicking and punching and turning and...wow! This little friend is going to keep us running! It was great. We were talking about how cute the little dude(tte) was when he/she turned his/her face and looked right at us. Christy said, "Oh! Hello little guy!" (She's referring to it as a boy because she's hopeful on my behalf that it's a boy. See? Love her.) She said, "Look! He's looking right at us with those creepy alien eyes! See them? Have you ever seen such sweet alien eyes?" LOL. I had not. So it was a very fun appointment and it made me so excited to meet the little muffin! Of course, as I left her office, I  stopped at a stop sign and knew I was going to be sick and didn't have time to pull over. I had to open the car door, hold back my hair and hope my aim was good enough to miss getting anything in my car. Gross! Luckily no one was behind me, although a car DID pull INTO the parking lot and a nice couple got to see me ralphing in the parking lot like a frat boy. LOL. 
Oh the joys!

Frat boy. *snort* That was funny.

Congrats! Hope things improve during the second tri.

Your post made me go "Wait, you are pregnant? That explains so much!" then it made me go "I wonder if Peggy is familiar with Coach Hines that Carrie introduced me to?" If not you should really check this out to truly appreciate the he/she comments:
