Whippet8

How far along are you/due date?  8 weeks, August 27th

How big is baby? Raspberry!

Any appointments this week?  Today!! It was my first appointment! DH went with me, and we were able to see the little flicker of a heartbeat.

Bought or Wearing Maternity Clothes? I have a be band, and that's pretty much it. I'm wearing really baggy tops (but that's not really new) to hide my bloat. I did take advantage of a really great Old Navy clearance sale, and I got a few tops and a dress.

Weight -Loss or Gain? up 2 pounds

Stretch marks? not yet...I'm definitely expecting it.

How Are You Sleeping?  Fine for now. My SIL gave me a pregnancy pillow, so I'm excited to use it when I need to.

Any Baby Purchases? Not yet. We did pick out the paint color, though!

Any Movement? nope

Food Cravings? fried pickles, hummus and pita

Food Aversions? pretty much anything. ugh it's so hard to eat. The thought of alcohol is discusting.

Other Symptoms? exhausted, and a constant wave of strong nausea. My boobs also feel like sandbags, and I feel like I can't move at night because they feel so sore and swollen.

Belly Button in or out? In

Names picked out? A few, but we'll narrow it down once we know the gender.

What do you miss: I miss enjoying my coffee. It makes me want to throw up now, even decaf. I also really miss the ability to go in a hot tub. Every time I think about going on vacation, or planning a few nights at a spa for us in april, I get really sad that I can't do the hot tub!

What are you looking forward to? A hot bath with a glass of wine...I'm stealing Eskamo's answer!

What was the BEST part of this week? Our appointment!

What was the WORST part of this week? The fact that DH's family still doesn't know, and all they talk about is "who is going to have the next baby" or "when you're pregnant"...

Weekly Wisdom: Keep eating continuously throughout the day...when I'm eating, I don't feel sick. Also, apricots helped combat my nausea nicely.

Any Milestones?

PIP any bumps! Here's my bloat!

 

and here is babybocker! the dark circle in the top left is the sac, and the white blob inside (not the really small white dot, the larger blob) is the baby!

QOTW: What kind of delivery are you planning on? Hospital? At home? Midwife? Water? C-Section? hospital with my OBGYN, and I'm planning on no meds. I just don't like the idea that you can't feel the lower half of your body, when that's what you need to rely on.

How far along are you/due date?  4W3D, due Sept. 21

How big is baby? Poppyseed

Any appointments this week?  Nope, first is next Monday. 

Bought or Wearing Maternity Clothes? Bought a few on sale on Target.com last week. 

Weight -Loss or Gain? No idea, I haven't weighed myself

Stretch marks? Only ones that I already had.

How Are You Sleeping? Pretty well, I am like a personal heater, though

Any Baby Purchases? A couple small art prints and some pregnancy books

Food Aversions? Anything fried. Yuck. 

Other Symptoms? Boobs are really sore, gassy, burpy, really tired

Belly Button in or out? in

Names picked out? We have a few ideas

What do you miss: I missed having wine with our anniversary dinner last night. I smelled DH's wine. 

What are you looking forward to? having a bump that isn't pudge and bloat.

What was the BEST part of this week? the BFP

What was the WORST part of this week? Seeing DH's family and not being able to say anything. It's not easy!

Weekly Wisdom: Trust your body to do it's job. 

Any Milestones? Nope. 

PIP any bumps! Just pudge for now. 

QOTW: What kind of delivery are you planning on? Hospital? At home? Midwife? Water? C-Section? We live a block from the hospital, so I'll have either my OB or midwife there. I'd like to go natural, no meds, but I want to be able to have meds if I change my mind.
