donuts with pink frosting and sprinkles

It has been an interesting week. I haven't been very busy, so obviously this has given me more time to obsess. Work was super slow last week. I almost feel like God set all of that up to give my body and mind all the time it needs to rest and just realize everything thats going on. It still hasn't hit me completely. Today I went through a period where I thought I am just not ready for parenthood and wished for a second that I could go back and wait a little longer. But the little babe (which I understand is about the size of an apple seed right now) has definitly made its presence known. Today Ross informed me that my, um, chest has inflated a little bit. Sweet. Very sweet of him to notice :) And I already can't eat some of my favorite things anymore. I got a Costco sized bag of Tims Cascade Jalepeno chips and was only able to eat 1 small bowl (I can usually devour those things until the bag is half empty and my scalp is tingling from all the spice). Even that made me sick all evening. Did I mention the sleeping? I sleep about10 hours a day now (used to be 7)...and am EXCITED to go to bed around 9:30 on week nights. Its amazing to know that I can already feel different from such a tiny little being. I have read that these things are all normal. Appearantly this is a very crucial time for little Pat, because all of its organs are forming around this time. Again; maybe this slow week is a blessing. I'm actually not complaining, I'm just in awe of all of this. I have never been pregnant before, so I'm just soaking all this in. Ross and I are amazed at how our little one is already making changes :)

I have been craving fettuccini alfredo, spicy tomato juice, and donuts with pink frosting and sprinkles. I have been avoiding the latter because I don't need to become a cow just yet. In fact, the tomato juice is the only real odd craving- I think I'm just using pregnancy as an excuse for the other two :)
