8 Weeks

Okay, it must just be me, but I feel like the first trimester is crawling by real slow. With Kai, my pregnancy was so easy and the only time I had problems was towards the end of my pregnancy. This time around, morning sickness (more like 24/7 sickness) is kicking my butt. I literally feel like this baby is draining my energy. I keep looking at Kai to keep myself motivated, knowing that all of this will be worth it in the end.

I purchased some sea bands the other day and that seems to be the only thing that helps. I tried everything else (preggy pops, ginger candy, eating every 2 hours, eating saltines, drinking ginger ale, etc.) but nothing worked. I hope the next 3 and half weeks goes by faster. I just want to feel some sort of energy to get through the day.

Anyway, here's my first survey. I didn't do it with Kai, so I thought it would be a great idea to do it for this little munchkin.

How far along?: 8 weeks and 4 days
How big is baby?: The size of a raspberry and in a few days it will be as big as a green olive.
Weight gain?: too scared to look at the scale. Based on last doctor's visit I think I gained 3 lbs.
Stretch marks?: still have the ones from my first pregnancy.
Maternity clothes: maternity jeans and avoiding tight tops. I am showing earlier for this pregnancy.
Sleep?: What is that? I have to wake up at least 2x every night to go pee.
Best moment this week?: Buying my Sea Bands. :)
Food Cravings?: Pancakes and fruits. I cannot stand fried/oily/ or any fast food.
Gender?: I have no idea. It's too early at this point.
Movement?: Nope.
What I miss?: Having energy and not feeling sick all the time. I also miss being able to eat a lot.
Belly button:  Still in.
What I'm looking forward to?: Getting through my first trimester.
Milestone: "Your baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy."-Thebump.com
