Weekly Update: 8 Weeks

WEEK: 8

MONTH: 2!! Woot woot! 4 more weeks till the end of the first Trimester!

TRIMESTER: 1

GENDER: Still unknown!!

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

THE BABY SIZE: The lil baby is now the size of a Kidney bean! Woot Woot!

WEIGHT GAIN: Steady 2lbs so far whew!

SYMPTOMS: Same as week 7! So far I feel great! Other than random bough's of extreme exhaustion and annoyed by perfumey smells. Some smells smell super duper over the top strong to me. I have switched my lotion, body wash, face moisturizer and roll the window down in the car with people who smell good because it no longer smells good to me!

CURRENT MOOD: Happy! I have been less tired the last couple of days and that makes me happy!

CURRENT CRAVING: I have been only wanting to eat light food and mainly Top Roman. Yum. Anything heavy and that makes me full makes me feel very sick and nauseous. So I am trying to eat small meals through out the day!

CURRENT WORRY: Finding a girl name that I love!
