Week 8- Mom's birthday

So we celebrated my mom's 57th birthday by tailgating at the Notre Dame vs Michigan game. ND was victorious!!!! Too bad it rained a majority of the weekend. So far the baby is a good luck charm for the IRISH... we are 2-0. It is so cute because our ushers know that we are expecting. I told them just in case some crazy fans are around us that I would be protected. They always take good care of me anyways. For instance, last year I forgot a poncho and our Usher Eugene gave me one of his. So I feel the love in the ND community! Our baby is already receiving lots of attention as I get daily phone calls and emails from my friends and family asking me how I am feeling and it feels so great. I wish I would have thought to do that when I knew someone was pregnant. It just means the world to me that people care and take the time to ask.



So I have to say that this baby loves food, just like mama!!! I woke up at 3:45 Sunday morning (after going to bed around 10 the night before) and was super hungry. Jeremy fell asleep on the couch and I woke up noticed that he wasn't there and freaked out because he always sleeps in bed. Well I went downstairs and he was snoring like usual. I had to turn on the light and it did wake him up and I said I am hungry so I had some cereal. I went back to bed and then woke up at 8:30ish in the morning and was hungry again.... all I do is eat and sleep!

I talked this week with my cousin Pauline, she was my confirmation sponsor and I am the godmother to her daughter... needless to say her and I are very close! She is also expecting as well and its so awesome to be sharing this with one of my favorite cousins!!! We have called each other checking in on each other and its just so nice to know that someone can relate to what you are going through and the changes that you are going through. She is just so awesome to talk to....

I am very thankful that I haven't had morning sickness so far. So far its been pretty easy. I think I've only gained about a pound if that. I am still in my normal clothes. Jeremy and my best friend Andrea told me that my chest is getting bigger and so did my friend Tony. I've always had a big chest so to me its nothing out of the normal.....Jeremy is happy about that one though!
