8 Weeks

{Note: I wrote this on January 12, 2012.  And I’ll start taking weekly belly pics around 12 weeks – I’m too bloated and nasty to photograph and publish it to the web forever and ever and ever.}

  • How far along? 8 weeks – baby is the size of a gummy bear
  • Total weight gain:  I am staying far, far away from the scale right now.
  • Maternity clothes?   No, but the looser and baggier the better. I. Am. So. Bloated.
  • Stretch marks? None!
  • Sleep:  Not great. Getting real nauseous at night, then waking up 3-5 times a night to pee. Very tired in the morning.
  • Best moment this week:  Refilling my Zofran prescription.
  • Miss Anything?  NOT FEELING NAUSEOUS EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. Being hungry. Being satisfied after a meal. Having enough energy to take care of the house and Luke.
  • Movement:  Not there yet.  (Unless this is referring to bowel movement? In that case, we aren’t there yet either.) ;)
  • Food cravings: On several occasions I wanted a hot fudge sundae this week, but I’m already over it.
  • Food aversions:  Everything. I’m already a vegetarian, but now the sheer sight of meat on a commercial makes me throw up. I also threw up at the smell of pizza. Food disgusts me.
  • Gender: TBD
  • Labor Signs:  NA
  • Symptoms: Nausea, nausea, nausea, extreme fatigue, heartburn, bloating, and I am alllll sorts of “backed up”. Oily hair, oily face, breakouts. Not glowing.  Kind of shining though, from all the oil.
  • Belly Button in or out? In
  • Wedding rings on or off?  On
  • Looking forward to:  Not throwing up all the time and getting my life back. Also – ultrasound and first doc appointment next week!

Whoa. First trimester this time around? No bueno. I have been vomiting daily for 3 weeks and it is taking a LOT out of me. I’m absolutely exhausted, I can’t walk or talk without intense nausea, I’m seriously oily and breaking out – I am really quite nasty. Sorry for over-sharing, but Future Me needs to know and REMEMBER THIS in case she gets any bright ideas about reproducing again.
