8 weeks today!

How far along:  8 weeks

Baby Size: A raspberry or a quarter

Weight:  122.6 (down .2lbs)

Symptoms:   

• The nausea has started.  It's constantly there, but at times it's not as bad.  Sometimes I can get up and do things, and other times all I want to do is lay down in bed.  Jolly ranchers have been helping me.
• And my boobs are hurting a lot

Maternity Clothes:  No, but shadeclothing.com had a sale and I bought 3 cami's and 3 dresses for $60 the other day.

Sleep:  It's been better.  Sunday night was pretty rough (I have a cold and was up most of the night coughing).  Last night I was up a lot, but was able to fall back asleep (although freezy pops helped and I ate several in the middle of the night).

Cravings/Food Aversions:  No real cravings, but when I wake up usually I'm hungry and nothing sounds good to eat.  I don't usually eat until later in the day and then  I want to eat everything.

Belly Button: In

Gender:  No guesses.  I'm still trying to convince Rob to be team green, but I think I'll probably give in and we will find out.

Name:  I 'think' we have names, but I'm not to worried yet.

Milestones:  Every day I'm still pregnant is a milestone for me. 

Looking forward to:  Hearing the heartbeat again.

What I miss:  I miss the feeling that I accomplished stuff on my day off.  All I do is sit around the house.  I miss sleeping with Rob.  He is always sleeping in the spare bedroom because I keep him up.

Appointments:  Thursday @10.  It's my first ob appointment. It will probably be the whole pee in a cup, take my blood, pap smear (Although I had one in December so I don't really need another do I?). I think I will have an ultrasound also.

Misc.  I developed a cold over the weekend.  I am thankful that I had yesterday and today off.  Yesterday was awful, today has started out a little better.  I have taken Robitussin which was on the 'safe' list, but I still get nervous taking it.  I've been using vapor rub and cough drops, and trying to drink lots of water. 

Keeping the pregnancy a secret really hasn't been that difficult.  Rob has had a hard time though.  My sisters in-laws all know, partly because Rob works with/for them.   

I did kind of want to tell my sister-in-law.  I saw her Saturday and she knows about the losses.  She was asking me about the progesterone and how it was going. I did tell her I was switched to an oral form.  She goes to the same office (different doctor), and we were talking ultrasounds and I said I would probably get an early one. She said she got one at 9 weeks and asked if I meant before that.  I said 'yeah, probably,' knowing that I've already had one, hehe.   I don't think she thinks anything though. I want it to be a surprise when we do share the news.
