Bumpdate: Week 8

How far along? 8 weeks! Crazy to think about! This time is flyyyying by!

Total weight gain: about 2 lbs! 

Maternity clothes? Not quite yet, but we're getting there. My pants are getting tight & I can't stand to wear them for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time. So leggings & skirts it is!

Sleep? Still sleeping a ton, but I'm getting better. My naps are getting shorter, and I feel like I have more energy most of the time!

Best moment this week? Getting to see Jeff! It had been about 3 weeks, so it was overdue. Also, Paige pointing to my belly and saying "I see a baby!". It's the cutest thing.

Worst moment this week? Driving for 5 hours straight on winding, West Virginia roads. Oh boy did that do wonders for my all-day sickness.

Have you told family and friends? Yes! All of our immediate family officially knows! Makes it much easier to complain about how sick I'm feeling ;)

Miss anything? My pants! And Jeff. But that has nothing to do with pregnancy haha! 

Movement: Nope!

Food craving/aversions? I've been craving fruits and cheeses like crazy! Just ask my mom how many packages of strawberries & raspberries I've gone through! Not to mention the cheesesticks & babybels I've downed.

Have you started to show yet? Yes! Mostly after I eat, but on a good day, you can see a small bump! So I've been wearing a lot of loose shirts lately! Here's a picture I took a couple weeks ago to send to Jeff. 

Gender? We don't know yet, but I have a feeling. But if we're being completely honest, my feelings are usually wrong.

Symptoms: Ah, I've exited the all day exhaustion and entered the realm of all day sickness. It's great. Also, motion makes it so much worse. So having a toddler that refuses to stay still has been really helpful!

We're so excited though! We have my first doctor's appointment in 2 weeks, so we're super looking forward to seeing our baby for the first time! Also, it's pretty exciting that I'm almost done being sick (for the most part!) 4 more weeks until relief!
