Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

The Raspberry Punkin

So as many of you know, our baby has a different name each week. On the bump.com, there's a chart where it tells you what size the embryo or fetus is. So far, we have had apple seed, sweet pea, blueberry, and this week, we have Raspberry. Its fun, and funny. Speaking of names tho, we ( I ) decided that Anna Finleigh will be the girls name. Anna after my Mom (Mimi), but we will just call her Finn. And boy names...welll... we're undecided and its a touchy subject, as we have completely different tastes in names. BUT the middle name will be Finn, So either way the kid will be called FINN. Boy or Girl.
There are some things that I will not budge on, like Anna or Finn, but Ben can have some say in the boys name lol. They all have his last name, so, yeah...
I pretty much have it in my head that its MY vagina that's gonna be ripped open and blood and guts and all that good stuff, so I feel have the right to be picky and choosy.

So I've been having alot of nausea, and vomiting, which I could handle if fatigue wasn't mixed in with it. I am so tired and my blood sugar drops, so I hope it ends in the next 5 or 6 weeks. Friday was my last full time day at work and I left early for all of the above. From now until I quit work in February, I will work from 2-5:30. So, that's good!
I have some foods that I cant stand: marshmallows (smell like butt), spaghettios-which i really want to eat, but it gives me tummy aches, I throw up anything greasy including pizza, and hamburgers, and fries. So I'm pretty much sticking to a diet of applesauce, fruits, pb&j, waffles, carrots and ranch. That's all so far though.
I've been a zombie and I haven't done ANYTHING around the house except find the bed or the toilet. Ben has been doing everything from laundry to dishes, to cleaning, not to mention dealing with my moodiness and the crying. Yesterday i looked someones wedding pictures that I dont even know and I started crying. I actually felt better today and went with ben to get a few groceries and did a load of dishes and started cleaning the bathroom. He is so good and I really appreciate him!!

This is a pic of us on our first date back in June of 2007. I love it! lol

TMI ALERT.
IF YOU DONT CARE TO KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING INTERESTING AND COOL, THAT HAS TO DO WITH PERSONAL INFO, THEN STOP READING.
I MEAN IT.
TURN AWAY. 
BUT.......
Today ben and I were looking at a calendar to see what day we found out we were pregnant. July 9th. and then we remembered that  July 9th was the 4 year anniversary (not that we keep up with it each year lol) of our first time, if you know what i'm sayin..lol 
My aunt says that must be our lucky day or something. I don't know, but we think its cool.
