8 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 8 weeks.

Size of Baby: The size of a large raspberry.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1.5 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: None yet.

Gender: Unknown - we don't plan on finding out.  I have had 2 or 3 dreams about our baby and they have been all girls.

Movement: Still too early for this.

Sleep: Getting better!  Weeks 4-6 were pretty rough for sleep as I had some nasty leg cramps, but they are now gone and I'm sleeping lots better.

What I Miss: Sleeping through the night.  I get up at least 2 times each night to use the bathroom!

Cravings: Hotdogs (I know...wierd!), apples & peanut butter, & celery & peanut butter.

Symptoms: Tired and Hungry.

Best Moment This Week: Telling all of our friends and family.  It is so much fun to try and predict peoples reactions to our news. 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Our 10 week appointment which is scheduled for December 22nd.  We are supposed to hear the heartbeat at this appointment!  I think hearing the heartbeat will make it so much more real!



8 Weeks - December 8th!
