8 weeks! When I first found out we were pregnant, just barely shy of 4 weeks, I felt like 8 was going to be the magical number. Like I would feel more secure by now, after having a first ultrasound, first doctors appointment, and making it this far period. It certainly feels like an accomplishment, but it also feels like just about every other day!
I think my next mini goal is either 10 weeks or 12 weeks, not sure which one I'm looking forward to more, but if 4 weeks goes by this quickly then I suppose 12 weeks will be here before I know it! I wonder if I'll be able to feel my uterus by then? Not counting on being able to see it of course, won't get my hopes that far up! 10 weeks is when I'm going to break out the doppler, so I suppose I'm looking forward to it all!
This week has gone by amazingly fast, especially with going to work every day. The mornings are a struggle trying to keep my thyroid medicine down for at least 30 minutes until I can take my zofran, but so far I've been doing ok. I give myself at least an hour and a half in the morning to get ready, just in case I don't feel well and so I can take care of the girls and just mope about going as slow as I please, it really only takes me about 45 minutes total to get ready, but the extra padding is nice!
A snapshot of 8 weeks:
Symptoms - Pretty much everything is still the same, nausea is worse on some days more than others but it's pretty constant. I'm having more food aversions than not, and eating usually upsets my stomach rather than calms it. I'm still having pain in my left side, but it's not as bad as it was on Friday at the ER. I'm getting more tired as the days go on as well, though I'm not nearly as tired as I was when I was in my first trimester with the girls so I'm thankful for that!
Food cravings - Thinking about food makes me want to vomit, no cravings here!
Size of baby - A cute little raspberry today! Baby should be starting to move around in there now, can't wait until I can feel the movements again, I loved that about my first pregnancy!
