Morning Sickness

Well first things first, the baby (if we're at the week we think we're at) is the size of a blueberry! 1/2 in long :) yay for Bitty G!!  Also, starting two days ago, the morning sickness has set in.  It's also actually in the morning too, so imagine me, at Starbucks, feeling sick, trying to pretend not to be, and keeping on going.

It's not as bad as it could be though.  There's only a nausea feeling though, nothing actually coming out (thank goodness!)  I will survive, and get through hopefully only a few weeks of this feeling in the mornings.

Bitty-G!

So you may have noticed, or heard it said, that we are calling our unborn child Bitty Baby Gruber... aka: Bitty-G! Since we don't know the sex, or even exactly how far along, we figured a nickname was best. We're rolling with it and it seems to be popular with the family.
Speaking of 'along', we're freaking out and stoked and we can't wait for the doctor's visit!

We saw a bunch of pretty gender-neutral and all natural baby clothes on major clearance at target and almost bought stuff... also contemplated clearance diaper stockpiling.. We'll see, I guess.

Anywho, that's all for now.


Peace

The Final Persons!

Today we finally got to tell Aaron, Jenny, and the kids we were pregnant. The final persons to tell for the next 2 weeks until our baby doctor appointment. It was awesome, and so very funny, thanks once again to a little girl named Elanor Gruber. Caleb at once was excited as was Ellie, then when everyone else was talking she turns to me and says, "If it's a girl (she's thinking about this very hard) she can be my sister." I proceed to tell her that they couldn't be real sister, but maybe like sisters or best friends, which she was ok with. She continues this think and then says, "We could name her...(pause) ILoveJesus." haha so sweet and awesome. I'm sorry though Ellie, even though you can't read this Uncle Tim and Aunt Brittany won't be naming your cousin that. After that both Caleb and Ellie proceeded to hold hands and spin in a circle yelling "yay yay yay." I am so tired and exhausted after staying up late last night, still waking up early this morning (not on purpose) and spending an awesome day with my parents. Good night everyone :)

Prego Her Eggo!

Tim here. It's so nuts to think my wife is at least 6 weeks along, MAYBE MORE. We can't wait to find out way more in a few weeks at the Doctors'.
We told our parents and siblings over the last few days, and everyone was so pumped! It was nice to finally have other people to talk to about it all.

My dad gave us this today, it was just a fun (and tasty) gift.














"For Tim, Brittany, and Da Lil One!"

It's a big carrot cake cupcake that has been frosted and dressed as a cute ghost!



More coming soon!

(Also Brit had her first cry-down today randomly... "welcome to pregnancy," she said.. -Tim) 

The + on the test!!

Big Big news!!  We just found out yesterday October 16, 2010 that we are having a baby :)  It's so exciting and scary, but a good scary, a great scary! The only stinky part, we aren't telling anyone yet!  Oh my goodness, I just want to be able to tell our family and friends, yet we made the decision to wait until we go to the doctors before we tell everyone. (sorry to family members who are reading this at a later time.)  We decided today to keep a blog about my experiences being pregnant, and Tim's job of dealing with me while I'm pregnant :)  As of this point, we're not sure how far along we are, but tomorrow I'll call the Doctors and set up an appointment, and hopefully we'll find out soon!

Anything weird with pregnancy I've experienced yet?!  A newfound love of MUSTARD!! never liked it before, LOVE it now...

until a later time,
Brittany and probably her poppyseed :)
