8 Weeks

How Far Along: 8 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a blueberry

Total Weight Gain/Loss: None yet

Maternity Clothes: Don't need them yet, this weekend mom got me a really cute pair of plaid maternity pants. I'm so looking forward to needing them.

Gender: Only God knows at this point.. The heart rate at our sonogram today was 171 bpm. I hear there is an old wives tale that says if the baby's heart rate is high then it's a girl.... Scotty so wants a boy.... We shall see!

Movement: None yet, but I'm really looking forward to feeling the baby move!

Sleep: I'm sleeping wonderfully aside from a few crazy dreams and having to get up at least once to pee.

Symptoms: Some nausea, face breakouts, bloating (I think this makes me look more pregnant than I actually am), losing more hair than normal in the shower and feeling tired in the afternoons. Luckily my nausea comes in short spells. I feel bad but get over it pretty quick. I've only thrown up 4 times and they have all been early in the morning before I have much in my stomach. It could be so much worse!

What I miss: ???

Cravings: Mandarin Oranges and Taco Pizza from Ken's.

Best Moment this week: Our doctor's appointment! We got to see the baby and hear the precious heartbeat! They gave us a due date of April 5th.

What I am looking forward to: The baby growing and being able to feel it move!
