8 weeks tomorrow

I'm lagging again!

Tomorrow I will be 8 weeks and I have an Ultrasound on Monday, I'm so excited. This past week and a half I've been plagued with some pretty gnarly nausea, lasting from morning till night. I'm very thankful I haven't gotten sick yet, though at times I wish I would so the nausea would go away. I'm of course very tired yet have a really hard time falling asleep and toss and turn for hours sometimes trying to get comfortable. I'm definitely not complaining, just some of the joys that come along with pregnancy, it's well worth the uncomfortableness.

Baby Update:
Size: Raspberry
Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

Of course the biggest question is what sex I think it is, I have no idea. I've had no dreams or feelings. I don't have a preference of the sex, I just prefer I have a healthy baby with all 10 fingers and 10 toes. As far as names go, I of course have names I've loved forever but I'm no where near a top 5 or anything like that.

  1. Throwing up is no guarentee the nausea will go away. When I was sick with Lucas I would sometimes throw up 7 or 8 times in a day and the nausea never stopped. You can take Unisom (althoug there are two types and one is not safe...so ask your doctor about that) it will help you sleep and for some reason it helps with the nausea too. (Maybe cause you sleep it off...haha)
