Check out this website! www.eyeslipsface.com It is Neiman Marcus make-up and they are changing their packaging so everything is A DOLLAR!!!! When you get to checkout, type in "carolina" in the coupon code area and it takes half off if you spend less than $15. Great quality make-up and cheaper than Covergirl!!!
So everyone has been asking about names. Yes, we've picked two out. Girl: Charlotte, boy: Aiden. Now, I love Charlotte, not Charly. And I love Charlotte with the middle name Ruth (my mom's name for those who don't know), not Russe. GRRR. Why do people do that? Everyone has tainted my love of the name Charlotte Ruth because of the blasted clothing store in the mall, Charlotte Russe. gag. "Oh cute, you mean like Charlotte Russe?" NO. If I wanted it to be that, I would have said it. So I need a new middle name. I would love for it to start with an 'R'. Also, Aiden's middle name will be Jex. End of story.....
Well yesterday was my first appointment. It was dumb. I don't think the doctor even touched me. Now don't get me wrong, I really am NOT looking forward to the next 7 months of my privacy being ULTRA invaded... But I was expecting maybe a little more than questions regarding my family medical history, why my acid reflux is SO bad and if caffeine (aka. Diet Coke) is "technically" safe for me to drink. But, my next appointment (TWO WEEKS!!!) I get an ultrasound, YAY! I finally get to see this little bean that is reeking havoc on my insides! It's funny, as each day goes by, I really am getting more and more excited to be a mother. George is getting really excited too. He is going to be a fabulous father. He is so good with our nieces and baby Drew. I hope we get a little boy. I know, I know... I'll be happy with either, as long as he/she is healthy. But really, I would love a family of boys. They have way cooler toys.
Thank you all so much for the comments and advice for me. I really appreciate it. I have actually had a good couple of days. I only threw up once yesterday and so far, nothing today. I've discovered that my new favorite place to lose it is in the kitchen sink. I don't know, a little more glamorous than the ceramic bowl on the ground. And I can stand up, barf, clean up and go on with my life...... gag. I hate this. Yesterday I went shopping for some new clothes because mine are fitting tight already... yes I know... I'm a fatty. It was so so fun though. I went into the Motherhood Maternity (you were right Teira, way claustrophobic) and found tons of cute stuff. They even have this pillow thing that you can strap around you too see how humongous you'll be.... yeah, depressing. I felt like a tank. And none of the dresses fit because I'm so tall... grr. So much for being a hot pregnant momma at church. :o) Anyway, it was a nice experience and other than the constant nausea and daily vomiting, I felt a small connection with this child of mine and realized just how excited I am to be a mom, yet also thrilled that it's still 7 months away!
Well, I was going to wait a little while longer, but I am in need of advice. I am officially 8 weeks pregnant!! This coming Tuesday is my first appointment and I might be able to hear the heartbeat! I am so so excited, but so so sick. I really hate this and my mom wasn't ever sick while she was pregnant. I've tried a lot of things but can't seem to find a remedy that works. Any ideas?? Let me know asap!
