Weekly Updates:
How far along: 8 weeks
Baby’s size: Kidney Bean – Your baby, now comparable to the size of a kidney bean (just over 1/2 inch long), is constantly moving and shifting.
Sleep: I have been taking fewer naps throughout the day, but I have been sleeping really well at night (for now).
Maternity Clothes:Same as last week. I am in my comfy clothes since I sit around the house all day. 🙂
Food Cravings: I have had two this week. I wanted a Whataburger Chocolate Shake and Darrell was kind enough to oblige over the weekend. And the other item I want is a BBQ bacon cheeseburger with the fixings. Yummy! I am hoping to talk Darrell into heading either to Red Robin or to Chili’s to fulfill this one sometime soon.
Food Aversions: Still a no-go on a lot of sweets 🙁 I’m hoping that changes as the holidays are coming up and I have so many recipes I love to make and eat.
Symptoms I have: Nauseous & Dry-heaving — nothing seems to be helping. I need to see about those sea-sick wristbands that my cousin told me about, maybe those will help. Today was the best day this week, but who knows how long that will last.
Doctor’s Appointment: Next Monday!! October 29. We will be going back to Ft. Worth and will be seeing our little sprout again.
Movement: None so far. I have felt lots of movement in the tummy region, but it isn’t Sprout.
Belly Button: Innie.
Gender: Unknown until birth. (at least that’s the idea for now)
What I’m looking forward to: Monday and making sure Sprout is still growing like (s)he is suppose to and still has a heartbeat. And getting the NT ultrasound at 12 weeks to make sure there are no neural tube defects
What I miss: We just got our order of wine from Navarro that we ordered in June. I wish I was able to enjoy a couple glasses. I might have a couple sips though :). Good thing we ordered the grape juice as well. 😛
