8 Weeks

How far along? 8 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: back to my original weight, the 1lb i gained last week, is now gone.

Maternity clothes? No, but I have bought a couple things since summer stuff was on clearance and that's when I'll be biggest.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Sleeping surprisingly well.

Best moment this week: Saturday was all together just a great day, didn't feel as nauseous, and had lots of energy.  I also saw two rainbows.

Miss Anything? No, haven't even wanted coffee.  Appetite still dwindling and very specific.

Movement: Nope

Food cravings: Fruit juice.  I've got cranberry, orange, apricot and mango lemonade waiting in the fridge.  Apricot being my new favorite!  I never had it before, who knew!?  I also want buffalo chicken frequently, and salty things like potato chips or french fries.
 

This is what nausea looks like

Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes pretty much anything if I smell or think of something too long I'll make myself feel sick.  I've figured out that if I get up and walk around or move around I feel much better, quicker.  This past week was pretty bad on the nausea side but I still haven't thrown up. I've purchased PSI Bands (which have worked wonders), Ginger Chews by Chimes, crystallized ginger, hard candy, and Duchy Shortbread cookies, because I read that Kate Middleton ate the Duchy shortbread cookies during her extreme case of morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum.  Silly?   Maybe, but the mind is powerful, and lately I've begun to convince myself that a lot of my nausea might be mistaken for my own anxiety of being pregnant.  So I shall eat with the Duchess eats, dammit.



Bye, bye six pack

Have you started to show yet: Well my six pack is gone.  ;)  Ha ha!  Ok, so no, I didn't have a six pack, but I've never been this "Bloated".
 

Gender: I keep saying he and him as does Eddie.
 

Special things I'm focusing on:  Not throwing up.  :)  I don't wanna! 

My crossfit plan currently is not working.  I only made it once last week, but got in a long walk and a run as well.  Hopefully this week will be better on the active scale.





Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Mixed emotions.  One day I'll be happy, but I had one day this past week, where i just felt sad, angry and cried.  It was all completely irrational, yet uncontrollable.

Looking forward to: Not feeling nauseous.  It really sucks to feel so yucky after spending the past couple of years cleaning up my diet, exercising and feeling amazing to feeling like poo everyday for a majority of the day no matter what you do. I'm praying that the 12-13 week marker of morning sickness going away is spot on, or hopefully even less!
