8 weeks



Size:  You are the size of a raspberry this week!  Even though I can't feel you yet, you are squirming all over the place! You should grow about a millimeter per day this week, making you a fast grower!!! You are already over 0.63 inches long. your fingers and toes no longer make you look like a duck and your little tadpole tail is gone!!  Good thing because I'm not up to raising a frog :)

Weight:  0.04 oz

Total weight gain so far:  Still none!  I am down about 10lbs!

Sleep:  Still sleeping pretty well except for when I wake up on my back. Then I gotta pee and my back hurts til I get back to sleep!

Symptoms:  Still about the same with the nausea, fatigue, and low tolerance for cold!!!  The nausea is bad almost all day and gets worse with the heartburn! Today I had some fresh pineapple. You must like fruit because that made me feel much better! Still cold all the time. Im under a down comforter right now and its almost 90 degrees outside!!!

Cravings:  Mainly fruit. Stocked up at the grocery store today on pineapple, peaches, and mandarin oranges.  I have a weird taste for soups too lately. Homemade chicken noodle for supper!!!

Aversions:  Just about everything.  I am hungry most of the time, but nothing seems to satisfy my appetite. I keep wheat thins on hand to help if I just can't find something.  Bleh! 

Best moment of the week:  Shopping for your big brother's kindergarten list!!! He is so excited about starting school and he was such a big help picking out the pencils, crayons, and glue!!! Even got his backpack and grandma found him a good pair of scissors. He is all ready to go! He will have so much to teach you when you get here. He is going to be a great brother!!!

Big brother's excitement level:  A little less than enthusiastic this week, but mainly because I have tried to focus on him this week. We went to dinner and a movie, which is one of his favorite things to do. He loves to take mommy on a date!

Movement:  Still too early for that!

Gender:  Still way too early for that, too!

Next doctor appointment:  June 26, 2013
