Baby Bump: Week 8

How far? Weeks 6 - 8

What's baby up to?  Baby has grown and developed from a tiny ball of cells to an inch-long, grape-sized baby with a beating heart and other essential body parts and facial features.

Weight gain?  Still at my pre-pregnancy weight - about 110 pounds.

Maternity clothes?  Nope!

Symptoms?  Sleepiness, bigger boobs, nausea, having to pee more, and CRAZY dreams.  Exactly the same as with Ava Kate… but the nausea is a lot worse.  With Ava Kate I felt sick pretty early on, but this time I didn't feel sick until about 3 weeks after we found out, and then it was on.

Sleep?  I could use some more. :) Ha!

Food cravings? I've craved a lot of different things.  BBQ sandwiches, Chick-fil-a sandwiches, and cold fruits & veggies… like oranges.

Food aversions?  Yes.  A lot.  No bagels.  No breakfast.  No donuts.  Anything that is dense and bread like.  I just can't.

Miss anything?  Nope!

I'm feeling... super excited and blessed!  We can't wait!

Best moment of the week(s)?  Just talking about baby brother/sister with Ava Kate.  She points to my belly (and tries to lift my shirt and poke my belly button, hahaha!)  We've told our family and a few close friends, and everyone is excited for round 2!

Looking forward to... Our first appointment (January 14th) and beginning on Ava Kate's big girl room!
