Week 8 Update

Total weight gain:

Apparently only 1 pound or nothing yet. I'm not sure if I started at 123 or 124, but I am 124 now. My scale has been wrong which made me feel better when I went to the doctor this week.

Body changes:

Strong nails. Itchy skin at times.

Sleep: 

Not bad but not as good as right in the beginning of my pregnancy.

Best moment this week: 

Hearing the heart beat, and seeing the ultra sound of my little munchkin.

Gender: 

I'm really torn, I can't tell yet.

Food Cravings / Aversions: 

Yoghurt and granola. Salty foods. Hummus and crackers. I've even been craving red meat lately. I think I need the iron. I caved over the weekend and had Ria's spaghetti bolognese. It was the first time I had red meat in a while. Still can't drink coffee, my body just avoids it. Also stopped eating my daily fiber one granola bars. Just not in the mood for it. I've definitely been craving yoghurt more, and I practically cut out almost all dairy from my diet. Now, I started eating greek yoghurt again with strawberries. Yumm. I haven't had a sweet tooth at all this past week, it's been more of a craving for saltiness.

What I miss:

Taking a bath.

Symptoms:

Thirsty, especially in the mornings. Strong sense of smell. Tired but not as much anymore. Pregnancy brain, of course. Feeling better over all. Between 6-8 weeks I was having occasional bouts of nausea, but very mild. Now it seemed to go away.

Movement: 

No.

What I am looking forward to:

Our trip to Switzerland.

Milestones: 

Finishing chapter 5.

Thought of the week: 

I'm so grateful for this baby inside me.
