8w4d appointment

We had our second doctor appointment earlier this week. Wow, the little gummi's have grown a lot in the last two weeks. At our last appointment they were about the size of a grain of rice. At this appointment they were almost an inch long already!


I think I've been feeling the typical pregnancy symptoms. I'm nauseous, mostly in the morning. I'm tired and have no energy most of the time. I have to get up a lot at night to go to the bathroom. I get heartburn occasionally, etc. I haven't had much for food cravings...but definitely some aversions. It's really smells that are turning me off. The smell of someone else's food sometimes makes me ill. I even have to hold my breath when I open the fridge. Not that my fridge is gross, but the smell of leftovers, or whatever, is sick. Even people's perfume, which I normally wouldn't notice can make me gag. Oh the joy of pregnancy. So far, it hasn't been much of a joy, but I hear it should be better in a few weeks (before it gets worse, of course!)


I'm hoping this blog will help those family members and friends who we don't get to see or talk to often keep up to speed with our soon expanding family.


I have another doctor appointment in two weeks. I'll keep you posted!


Until then, here is an u/s picture from this week's appointment:

    During my pregnancy I really liked babycenter.com. They give weekly updates of what to expect and LOTS of articles and comment sections to inform you about your baby, delivery and up to 5 years old afterward. I still love it! Check it out!
