I realize that I don't have a baby bump yet, but I'm so excited to start my "Baby Bump Series" on my blog. I mainly want to start it this early so I can blog about all the details of my pregnancy. I know that it goes by quickly so I want to soak up every moment of it!!
how far along? 8 weeks
how are you measuring? ????
size of baby? size of a kidney bean
heartbeat? ???????
total weight gain/loss? -2.2 pounds
maternity clothes? I'm still wearing my normal clothes and they fit just fine!!
stretch marks? No
sleep? I can't get enough sleep. I am absolutely exhausted when I come home from school. I go to bed around 8 or 8:30 almost every night. I think the latest I've stayed up since I've been pregnant was 10pm. I usually squeeze in a 30min to 1hour nap on weekdays and I've been taking a 2-3 hour nap on the weekends.
best moment this week? During week 6 we told our family we were expecting. During week 7 we told close friends and Matt told his boss and I told my Kindergarten team. This past Sunday when I was one day shy of 8 weeks we told our ABF. It has really made the pregnancy feel real now that it's not a secret anymore!!
movement? I'm not feeling anything yet.
food cravings? No cravings yet.
gender predictions? I honestly have no idea.
what i miss: I miss having energy. I feel so lazy when I come home and sit on the couch all evening. I just have to remind myself that I am growing a little baby inside of me, and that is why I am so tired.
what i'm looking forward to: We have our first sonogram on Thursday. I am super excited to see our "Little Link" growing inside of me. I really hope we are able to hear the heartbeat. I hear that sometimes you can and sometimes you can't at 8 weeks.
how are you feeling? I am very tired, but I haven't been sick one bit. I really feel great!! No nausea or no vomiting, NOTHING. I feel so lucky. Somedays I have to remind myself that I am pregnant because I really don't feel all that different.
My gender prediction is a boy. Carson would love to have another boy cousin to play with even though they will be almost 3 years apart. I'm so glad your pregnancy is going so smooth. It sounds exactly like mine with Carson.
ReplyDeleteI hope it stays that way!! I've been so sick I've been hospitalized. I'm 15 weeks, and I'm just starting to feel a little better, but still nauseous all the time!! I hope it's smooth for you! No matter what, it'll be worth it.
