8 Week

8 Weeks:

How far along? 8 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I think I have stayed the same basic weight.
Maternity clothes? I'm not wearing them, but I would be more comfortable in them I think. My pants just seem way tight already.
Stretch marks? Not new ones.
Sleep: I continue to sleep fine but am still always exhausted.
Best moment this week: I got my pharmacist license and get to start working for real and are one step closer to a house.
Miss anything? Not having to be really stressed about whether or not things are going okay and if baby is still doing good in there. I can't wait until I can start feeling movement because I think that't going to be the best way for me to start feeling more secure in this pregnancy.
Movement: Not yet. I can't wait!! I really hope it happens soon!
Food cravings: none
Anything making you queasy or sick: the thought of eating eggs, but really I haven't been all that sick yet. I got a little overheated/dehydrated at the parade and felt pretty crummy all day after but other than that it's been good.
Have you started to show yet: Not really, I just already had some pudge to start out with so I already looked pregnant.
Gender: I keep going back and forth on what I think it is. I really just don't have a strong feeling one way or another. If it's a girl though she's not going to have a name because I can't decide on anything.
Labor signs: Hopefully none for a good 31 weeks or so.
Bell button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: This has been a very rough week. I ended up getting hand foot and mouth and was really stressed about how that was going to affect the pregnancy, luckily I only had a fever for about 12 hours, which is the scariest part of HFM during pregnancy, but because I haven't felt very good I have been really moody and grumpy so it's not very good. Luckily it's been getting better and better each day, but it still hasn't been the easiest week.
Looking forward to: Just one more week until my first prenatal appointment with ultrasounds so we can at least have a starting point of seeing things be okay with this pregnancy.

You can't see the baby in the picture, even when it's a clear picture, but it shows the tracing of the heartbeat nice and strong.

Your Baby is as Big as a Raspberry

• You can't feel it yet, but she's moving those arms and legs like crazy!
• Her fingers and toes are now only slightly webbed, and her tail (yes, she had one) is gone.
• Fun fact: your baby's taste buds are now forming.

Now she weighs in (yay!) at about .04 ounces and measures about .63 inches. This week, she's growing about a milimeter each day.
