Journal #5: Week 8

How far along? 8 weeks

Baby size: Raspberry

Total weight gain/loss: No idea, it seems to fluctuate a lot! Maybe 2 or 3 pounds

Maternity clothes? Nope, but my jeans are getting tighter. I have to unbutton them after I eat lol
Stretch marks? Nope, been moisturizing every day!

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good, but I’ve been sleeping late this week, a little too late

Best moment this week: Realizing I only have 4 more weeks left in the first trimester! And feeling better, and having more energy this week!

Movement: Maybe not the baby, but I can feel all of my organs moving. The baby is starting to move its legs and arms this week (of course I can’t feel that yet) but I’m pretty sure I felt my uterus actually move when I put my iPod up to it…

Food cravings: Changes every day- chili, spicy beans and rice, pizza- but I always crave fruity popsicles! That is a constant crave. And cantaloupe

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not as much! My nose seems to be a little back to normal, it’s not as overwhelming as it used to be. But that may change again. Usually when I eat something I feel better

Have you started to show yet: My lower abdomen is a little tougher, and when I was at Walmart yesterday, I looked down at my stomach and it was totally sticking out! I looked pregnant! And then I sucked it in and I looked fairly back to normal. So… I sometimes show, if that counts J

Gender:  Definitely a girl. That’s my gut instinct.

Symptoms: A little tired, some queasiness, occasional headaches

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Looking forward to: Tomorrow. I just want to enjoy one day at a time!
