8 Weeks

I am writing this post a day early because tomorrow is Christmas and I might be a little too busy to write.

Here we go:

How far along? 8 weeks

Weight Gain/Loss: I've lost a total of 7 lbs. so far. I'm getting a little nervous because that seems like a lot of weight to me. My stomach is still bloat/has a bump though. 

Maternity Clothes? I've been wearing loose shirts to hide the bump at work still and I'm wearing a be band on my regular jeans. 

Symptoms: I have morning sickness now, I actually started getting it the day after I wrote my 6 week post. I'm still trying to figure out which foods I can't eat and what actually makes me feel better. I have a lot of food aversions now, mostly because of the way they smell. Vegetables (especially cooked) are a big no no. What has been working for me is eating really small portions throughout the day. I think the baby loves chicken nuggets because my stomach is happy every time I have those. Nights are pretty bad right now. I usually can't eat anything at night otherwise my stomach is churning and I get a horrible stomach ache and can't sleep.


Best moment this week: This weekend we are telling Jesse's side of the family at Christmas. I also get to see my two sisters. They haven't seen me in person since I've been pregnant so I'm really excited for that.

Food Cravings? No cravings, I pretty much hate food right now....ugh!

Gender? I was so sure it's a boy and now I just have no idea. I really want to see the little bug soon though! 

Belly button in or out? In.

Stretch Marks? Not yet. I'm lathering on lotion every morning.

Movement? None

What Im looking forward to: I'm still looking forward to our doctor's appt. It's in 4 days! I really hope we can have an ultrasound at this appointment. 

Milestones: Our baby has formed eyelids, it's nose is starting to protrude, and lower lip is taking shape. It is now forming fingers and toes from it's arm and leg buds.  

Baby Size: Our baby is the size of a raspberry.
