8 Weeks

Written November 23

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 8 weeks
Size of baby: kidney bean
Gender: we've been referring to the baby as "her" for some reason, even though we have no inclination either way yet.  The nurses refer to the baby as "she" so I think we picked it up there. 
Maternity Clothes: none yet, but Thanksgiving tomorrow might warrant some elastic pants, lol!
Weight gain: ? Haven't weighed this week.  Thinking probably 1 lb

Movement: none,

Sleep: sleepy all the time, having CRAZY dreams

Symptoms: the nausea has definitely hit, but I haven't actually gotten sick yet, praise the Lord.  It's the worst when I'm in the car.  
Cravings: egg salad sandwich with lots of mustard, yum!
Best moment this week: Matt was finally able to attend an ultrasound today! It was so special watching our little kidney bean on the screen and hearing the "woosh" of the heartbeat together.  156 bpm!  I will always treasure that moment.
Best husband moment/quote: seeing Matt's face as he saw our little one for the first time
Notes: We are sharing the news with our families tomorrow on Thanksgiving...so excited!
