I'm not feeling as nauseous as I did at this point during Henry's pregnancy, but I'm definitely feeling the fatigue. I'm also way hungrier this time around. Maybe this baby will be chunkier than my string bean boy?
I was devastated to find out that my OB just stopped taking OB patients, the insurance was just too high for him. I really loved this doctor and I'm sad he won't be delivering Henry's little brother or sister, but what can you do? That's health care for you. Because there are still areas around here that have no power from hurricane Irene, it took me until today to speak with the office of the new Dr. I'm going to try. I'm seeing him next week to get checked out and hopefully pin down the due date.
Here's a fun little survey I'm hoping to use to keep a record of this pregnancy:
How far along? 8 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Somewhere between zero and five lbs. depending on the time of day.
Maternity clothes? Maybe not maternity clothes but definitely not the skinny jeans. I'm wearing sweatpants until I'm big enough for my old maternity clothes because last time shopping for them was such a pain!
Sleep: Tired all the time..and usually not sleeping well at night
Best moment this week: Making the doctor's appointment and loving the staff.
Movement: No way!
Food cravings: Ice cold lemonade, piping hot chicken noodle soup.
Gender: Probably would prefer a boy, but thinking girl.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? In. Mine never popped last time, but maybe this time it will have been loosened up.
What I miss: Being able to suck in my stomach.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing that little fluttering bean on the ultrasound screen.
Weekly Wisdom: When you're tired and nauseous, a little Yo Gabba Gabba and a blueberry muffin go a long way toward achieving peace.
Milestones: Told Henry there's a baby in my tummy. He didn't really react, probably doesn't believe it, lol.
