8 Weeks

This should of been posted on Saturday, but I was too busy sleeping! No belly shots yet since well, there's no belly yet. I just look bloated. Hopefully in the next week or so.


How far along? 8 weeks
How big is the peanut? The size of a raspberry
Total weight gain/loss? At my 7w2d appointment, I was still 145 with jeans and a t-shirt on, I need to get a scale
Maternity clothes? Nope
Sleep? Like a rock! I slept from 7pm to 6:30am on Sunday night! Waking up once or twice a night to pee
Best moment this week? Getting to see the heartbeat on Monday April 30th! Such a wonderful sight! Didn't hear it yet but we have another appointment on May 14th with the high risk OB, so I think we'll hear it then
Symptoms? Nauseous, nauseous, nauseous! I wish I could throw up so I'd feel better! My boobs are so sore and feel like bowling balls
Food cravings? Everything I see until I start eating it, then it doesn't satisfy. I really need to stop watching Food Network and the Cooking Channel! Last week I was craving ice cold water and this week I can't stand it. Cranberry juice is the only thing satisfying my thirst this week. Also, I can't brush my teeth enough. My breath is so bad (at least to me it is) that I am brushing my teeth 3-4 times a day!
Food aversions? Any raw meat. I haven't cook dinner in weeks, thanks baby!
Gender? Team green, not finding out
Labor signs? Heck no
Belly button in or out? In, way in
What I miss? Eating a normal meal that doesn't include saltine crackers
What I'm looking forward to? Our appointment on May 14th to see the baby again and hopefully hear the heartbeat. We're still not telling anyone till Father's Day, I'll be 14 weeks then and we'll have had the NT scan. So we'll know if all is ok with the peanut
Milestones? Nothing yet
Bump? Not really a bump but my lower stomach is bloated and hard. Not really able to suck it in anymore so we're just rocking the bigger t-shirts

Congrats! I just caught up on your story, and I am so sorry about your loss. I know that you know that it was God's way of telling you that it wasn't a healthy pregnancy, but I know it is still hard. I can't wait to follow your journey!!
