Sophie!
We got our first baby gift today :) Dan's mom surprised us by sending Sophie La Girafe with a post-it attached that said every teething baby needs a sophie.
I of course had no idea what "a sophie" is, but I did like that the box was in french! I googled sophie and found this cute story...Story about Sophie. Overall, I guess she's the number 1 toy on amazon, there is almost one sophie sold in france for every one birth, and was really hard to sell in the US at first (until celebrity babies were spotted using it).

8 weeks
Blah! I've been sick most of the week. I've tried emailing and texting my midwife and she hasn't responded...it's unlike her. Nothing seems to be an emergency though, so I'm just leaving it for now.
This week was our first week at making weekly to-do lists. We created a large to-do list a about a month ago but progress has been slow. I want to make sure I/We are as productive as possibly before I start to get too big to do much. I'm happy to say that even though I've been sick. i'm not too far behind in my list :) I didn't schedule anything on the weekend, so that will be my catch-up time.
This past sunday I bought a bunch of new bras. I was loooong over due for them before so I finally went out bra shopping - since everything I read says "get a good bra!" I got maybe 5 new bras for $70. Most of them are convertibles too, so hopefully I can use those instead of strapless.
My grandparents are coming up here for st patty's day and even though it will be a few weeks too early, i'm going to tell them while they are up here. It won't be too early though, about 11 weeks and we will hear the heartbeat (for the first time) just a few days before. I wanted some cute way to tell them so I made them a card (which was a checked-off item on my to-do list!). Dan thinks it's a little confusing but mom really likes it.

End of Week 7
Not much to report this week. I almost skipped my post; however, this was the first time I really had to explain why I'm not drinking....
So far at horseshoes Dan has been bottling ice tea for me in beer bottles so it looks like I've been drinking. We went to beer hall once and I just kept the stein in front of me while Dan drank my beer. But today, we were in a more intimate setting at my cousins house and had to explain why I wasn't drinking. So, what worked out really well for me is that Lent just started so I told everyone I have it up for lent. I wasn't going to bring it up if none else did, but it was noticed. I think at least most people bought it. It should work out well because I will share the news before lent is over :)
