7 Weeks!

This last week has been pretty uneventful. My "morning" sickness went from mild to moderate and seems to be all day with a spike in the evenings...unless I eat constantly. The scary thing is that I know that what is moderate to me is often severe to others so I really hope I get to stay with "moderate" and that it doesn't get past the nausea stage ever! lol

I have been taking belly photos (unfortunately eblogger is retarded and won't put the pictures I upload into my blogs for whatever reason) since last week. When I looked at this weeks picture and compared it to last weeks my belly has popped a bit so that's pretty exciting. :)

I did confirm with Steven that he doesn't want to talk names until we're out of the first trimester - which I can understand and am okay with. However, he also said he didn't want to fully decide until the baby arrived...I'm seriously hoping he's pulling my leg. Just in case he wasn't I let him know this wasn't going to fly with me since we're not finding out the gender and I'll need to have it narrowed down to at least a couple of first and middle names per gender and then I might be okay with the waiting until the baby arrives idea. lol

I don't have much else to report...other than that I am cold all the time - except for when I'm boiling! lol

Can't wait for Friday, first ultrasound! :D
