I am 7 weeks!

I successfully got through week 6 without morning sickness. I had a little nausea and my stomach is definitely a little more sensitive but I am grateful that is all it has been. I have heard too many horror stories about how bad morning sickness could be so I am praying that it continues to stay away! All in all I really cannot complain I have been really lucky!

Andrew and I have started talking about names. A couple years ago I came up with the name Everett Lee for a boy because Everett is a family name on the Ivy side (and Andrew's middle name) and Lee is a family name on my side of the family. SO we have pretty much decided on that if it is a boy. As far as the girl's name goes we are still hashing it out a little. We have talked about Emily Joy (we are sticking with E names, it just makes it easier!) and we have also talked about Emelia Grace (but we would call her Emmy). I am not too worried about it I am sure we will figure something else. After all we do have plenty of time!

We have our first doctor's appointment on Thursday and I have been having a lot of excitement/anxiety going on about that. The appointment is at 2 so I was thinking about taking a half day at work but I have not been very successful with finding a sub. So we will see! I have also been worried that I am going to get there and they will do the ultrasound and something will be wrong. I guess a lot of people worry about that but having to wait 4 week after you find out that you are pregnant to even see the doctor really is very hard. You wonder about all of these things and start to second guess whether there is anything really in there. I have also been worried about the needles. If you know me well you know that I do not do very well with needles. We have a hate/hate relationship as I would say. They have a really hard time finding my veins so sometimes they have to poke me several times. The good thing is that everything that I went through with my gallbladder surgery kind of helped with that a little. So I am not as scared as I use to be. Since I have gotten pregnant you can see my veins a little better also because of the extra blood you are producing so I am hoping that will help!

Oh and did you notice the new belly shot??!!
