7 weeks


As of Wednesday I will be 7 weeks pregnant and Baby Gibby is the size of a blueberry.
We have our first appointment on the 19th and I am very excited about that. I still plan to change from going to the Army hospital to the local hospital in town. It is a lot closer and they have a brand new maternity ward.

I have started to feel pregnant. Most days I don't feel so great but we are getting through it. Mostly eating very bland food like crackers and waffles. I look forward to the day that Gil and I can eat the same meal for dinner, together.

So we decided to give our baby a nickname so we don't call him or her, it for 9 months. In honor of Gil we will be calling baby, Gibby until future notice. It is a name that Gil has used for various things and it just seemed cute and appropriate for the time being.

I had a very nice surprise yesterday when Gil got home. He had a gift for us from our friends, Lane and Genevieve. They had a nice card for us and a book titled The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy, Or Everything Your Doctor Won't Tell You. It was a very nice surprise and I look forward to reading it. Gil has already read through the chapter on how to deal with your pregnant woman. It seemed to find most of it funny but he has been really great so far.

Well that is all for now. I look forward to updating again after our doctors appointment.
