According to my new favorite pregnancy website (thebump.com):
At 8 weeks Baby is:
- The size of a raspberry: .04 ounces and .63 inches and growing about a millimeter each day.
- Moving those tiny arms and legs like crazy!
- Has fingers and toes that are now only slightly webbed, and tail (yes, had one) is gone.
- Fun fact: Baby's taste buds are now forming.
Week 8 in Review:
- Biggest part of the week was Baby's doctor appointment and finding out the due date, seeing the ultrasound, and hearing the heart beat!
- I continue to feel overall pretty good. However, I think I might be sleeping through any morning sickness I could be experiencing. With my summer vacation schedule, I tend to sleep in until at least 9 on a daily basis. Well, Thursday I had to be at school early to help with interviewing--therefore I had to get up around 6. I definitely noticed a difference that morning and didn't feel the greatest. I held it together and was fine, but felt sort of icky that morning.
- I had my first craving--STRAWBERRIES--yep, I wanted them and wanted them ASAP!!!
- By morning, I am starving and more than ready for breakfast!
- Along with the food topic, I definitely am feeling more hungry lately, but it is sort of frustrating, because I am hungry, but I don't really know what I'm hungry for and normal things just don't seem overly appealing?! I am still really conscious about the food I eat (wanting to get good nutrients, etc, for baby). I also have a tendency to want meat! I miss tuna. The doctor said I can have one fish per week (limited due to the mercury levels in a lot of fish). I did have a can of tuna this week and it was delicious, but I probably won't make it a habit.
- I sort of freaked out in my mind when I was at school doing those interviews this week and our lunch was this huge deli sandwich. I had read that pregnant people shouldn't eat lunch meat due to a bacteria in it that could be harmful. Well, I didn't really have any alternative and I was super hungry, so I ate it! Hopefully that is ok?!
- I also had fun going to the Glenwood street dance on Friday--Johnny Holms--my FAVORITE band! I did have moments that made me feel sort of sad though, because I kept thinking that this might be my last dance before I am big, tired, and overly pregnant. I don't necessarily like the atmosphere of dances, but I sure do love music and dancing. I also freaked out a little whenever we were around a smoker...it drives me CRAZY and whenever I see a smoker, I want nothing more than to shove their dang cigarettes up their butt!!! My baby does NOT need to breath that horrible stuff!!!
- I don't think I see much of a baby bump yet. I think it was this past Thursday, I looked down and swore I noticed my belly being bigger, but then the next morning I looked normal?? I think it's mostly in my head, but maybe if I examine my belly really close it is a little bigger? I don't know??!!
