baby update

How Far Along? 7 weeks 7 days (but I say I'm in my 8th week)

Symptoms: My symptoms this week have been fatigue and nausea. I haven't thrown up but I definitely get queasy and light headed.  

Total Weight Gain: Ok my weight has gone up to 160. :( Not too bad seeing as how I have about 4 more weeks in this trimester, but I need to try to not gain any more than one pound for the rest of my first trimester. So now I'm at a 5 pound weight gain. I was at 155 at my first doctors appointment,

Measurement: I'm adding this category now. I am measuring at 34 inches right below my belly button. So that means my pooch has grown an inch. It looks a lot bigger in person. lol. I know that this is just bloat or fat because my uterus is still behind my pelvic bone. Hubby was amazed last night and was like wow my baby is making your stomach grow already. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was just me and my fat. lol


Maternity Clothes: none yet. I am however about to go through my clothes and put away all my tight fitting shirts for a while since I'm kinda bloated and don't want anything tight on my tummy. Still haven't done this yet, probably this weekend.

Stretch Marks: none yet. I bought Palmer's lotion for stretch marks, but I don't think I like how it smells so i don't know if I will continue to use that. but I have started oiling up every day. I have been really lazy with oiling up. I think it's cause I really don't like the smell. I have to figure something out though.

Sleep: I'm always tired. no matter how much sleep I get. I heard this eases up after the first trimester though. Nothings changed here. lol

Food Cravings: No real cravings this week, more like I can't find something I like. I'm eat but I'm not really satisfied.

Best Moment This Week: Best moment is hubby talking to my stomach.

Movement: none yet.

Labor Signs: none! prayerfully not for at least another 32 weeks

Belly Button In Or Out? In

What I Miss: having energy to do things. having a clean house. lol

What I Am Looking Forward To: Hearing baby's heartbeat

Milestones: I guess my milestone this week would be making it through being sick.

Weekly Wisdom: stay away from sick kids!

I have been so sick. My nephew had strep throat and I caught it from him. And of course since I'm in my first trimester, I can't take any medications. I was so miserable. Luckily, thanks to rest, lots of fluids and a humidifier I'm now back to normal. Or what is now my new normal. lol.
Eventually I will get around to taking some pictures. I really want to do a weekly thing and keep it, but I'm still trying to decide how I'm going to do it. I think I'm gonna peruse pinterest for some ideas.
I have a pretty busy two weeks coming up. I have a doctor's appointment next Friday, Hubby performs next Saturday, 4th of July is the week after that, and I have another doctor's appointment with a new doctor to see if I want to switch. My current doctor's office only has one doctor and no nurse practitioner. This makes for long waits when the is at the hospital delivering babies. Also the patients in his office are kinda hood. Not really the place where I want to be for a large amount of time for the next 7 months.
OMG I just realized I only have 7ish months! That's crazy!
