8 weeks

Wow....it sure seems to be going fast.

I only got sick that one time.....I'm pretty sure it was what I ate. But today I've been pretty nautious all morning. I'm feeling better now, but it was touch and go for a while.

I'm still peeing constantly (I'm going to die at the u/s), still have sore bbs, and all my other symptoms.

I've been craving unhealthy foods this time around. I'm finding it so difficult to eat fruits and healthy foods for some reason. I have to force myself to eat well. I'd much rather eat chips than an apple...but I try to force myself to do it. I don't want to gain 50 lbs!!

I gained a lb this week....I'm back to my original weight now from when I first found out I was pg. My waist and belly still measure the same...but my belly definitely has gotten bigger. (I posted a pic in General pg forum). I think it's mainly bloating...I feel fat. I can't wait until I actually start looking pg! My jeans still fit fine (though they were big on me to begin with anyway), but when I wear shorter shirts you can see the little bulge. I hope it's not too hot of a summer because I discovered I can't fit into my shorts. I guess I'd have to break out my maternity shorts if it gets too hot. LOL

This week is a very scary week for me. So far, every pregnancy I've had, during the 8th weeks something drastic happens. With Ryan, Bob lost his job when I was 8 weeks pg. The last pg I found out I had a blighted ovum and had to have a D&C. So what will happen this time? I'm very scared this week. Even more scared as I have my u/s tomorrow. I'm excited....but scared out of my mind. I just want to get it over with so I can move on...either enjoy the pg or......

If all goes well, I will start getting Ryan involved. I was told by a friend of mine that I should get Ryan involved...have him help choose things for the baby and choose a name and take him the u/s, etc. (not this one in case things aren't right). That way it becomes "his baby" too and he feels he's a part of it. Hopefully then there won't be any jealousy. I think it's a great idea.

Wish me luck tomorrow. I will post an update after the appt.
