Week 8 Wrap Up

How far along? 8 Weeks

Baby is the size of a: Raspberry

Total weight gain/loss: Down 4 lbs this week, and 15.6 lbs total.... So. Much. Sick.

Symptoms: Nausea and vommiting. It wasn't AS bad, but it was enough to make me lose too much weight :( So strange how you'd normally be pumped about this kind of stuff but now it worries me.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Belly Button in or out? In

Sleep:  Like I'm dead. CRAZY dreams. 

Food cravings: I wouldn't call them cravings in the sense that they pop in my head and I want them, but if someone mentions something I can't get it out of my head until I have it. Pickles. Pimento cheese. And chocolate.
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Meat, too thick textures of food, and being hungry. I have to eat a little something every hour or so.

Miss anything? Feeling like a normal person. I'm so miserable :( I don't feel pregnant. I just feel like someone with a puny stomach bug.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and emotional. Still SO tired and puny.

Workouts: Not so bad this week! Billy has modified my workouts and I've now had 3 days of pregnancy friendly sets. No more laying on my back or letting my head go below my waist. Every exercise we are doing is supposed to help prepare me for labor in some way. He says we will be focusing on my core and my back every single day. They've been really good workouts so I'm pleased that we aren't slacking off. 

The Bump: 37.5 inches

Have you started to show yet: I can't really tell. I think it just looks like I had a big breakfast. Like not quite showing but maybe I'm super aware and self conscious about it.

Stretch marks? No

Maternity Clothes? Nope. Not even the belly bands.

Gender Prediction: Still leaning towards a girl :)

Any Names Picked Out Yet: Same ones. 

Labor Signs: Yeah right

Movement: Yeah right

Best moment this week: Telling out parents!!!!! Seperate post on that later :)
  
Looking forward to: Telling more friends and our next ultrasound in 3 weeks.
