Week 8

So.  Growing a baby is exhausting.  Combo that with work and work and Thanksgiving...this momma is wiped out!  Short post tonight - I almost fell asleep standing up waiting for the dogs to go potty...


How far along:  8 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain: I haven't weighed.  Post Thanksgiving weigh in?  No thanks.

Maternity clothes: No

Symptoms:  So. Tired.  And the tatas have started to grow - that's been special ;-)

Stretch marks: No

Sleep:  Type faster so I can sleep sooner!

Best moment of this week: Getting told "You're looking big today" from a coworker.  Really?  I'm only 8 weeks...that's just my fat, lady.  Seriously though, we told the rest of the family so that was pretty fun.  Jess' grandma has already declared it's a girl and has named her.  That name is on the list but probably not the winner winner. 

What's new this week:   The baby is growing hands from it's buds, the tail is going away (whew, gonna want that to be gone), growing some lung buds, working on eye lids, and growing the colored part of the eye (please be blue, please be blue).  It's the size a raspberry...or a kidney bean depending on the pregnancy ap.

Miss anything:  Feeling awake?

Movement:  The only movement is the acid that keeps crawling up my throat...good times!

Food cravings: I haven't had any serious cravings yet - I'm kind of bummed because I thought this could be pretty funny!

Anything making you queasy or sick:  When I get sleepy and/or a headache I start to feel pretty yuck.  And early, early in the morning in the bathroom post shower with the door closed...little hot, little pukey.

Have you started to show yet:  I doubt it but apparently I'm delusional and something about me is growing...aside from my boobs. 

Gender:  It's either a boy or a girl, I think.

Labor signs: Definitely not

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off:  On

Happy or moody most of the time:  Today, moody

Looking forward to:  Going to bed tonight!
