We have reached 8 weeks today and have decided to start a blog so that our family far away can still be a part of the pregnancy. Read when you want/have time and enjoy!

This weekend was the first progression of "cravings" beyond bread (which seemed to be my food item of choice for the past week or 2). As of Saturday, I escalated to a severe aversion to chicken/pork (just the sight, smell, or mention makes me want to get sick!) as well as some vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower). Instead, all I seem to want is bread/cheese. Pizza anyone? So far, I'm going on 4 days that I'd be perfectly happy eating nothing but breadsticks dipped in marinara sauce and a good saucy pan pizza. We'll see how long this lasts!

So far, it's been a blissful pregnancy with very little nausea/heartburn and haven't gotten sick (knock on some major wood!). 

Got my prenatal "Fit Mama" DVD today, will have to put it in sometime and give it a try!

I'll try to post a few back-dated posts and include pics from the first ultrasound from last week.
