It's My Baby, I Can Cry If I Want To!

8 weeks and 2 days!

Well, not much has changed. I am still incredibly tired. And uncomfortable in my own skin. I am feeling extra bloated, and feel unconscious in my clothing! I don't think I am suppose to be showing quite yet, but my belly says otherwise. And being so tired, makes it hard to get up and exercise! I am extremely emotional lately and no matter how hard I try, I can't stop the waterworks! Mark has been wonderful and even made me a candle-lit dinner last night. He has been very supportive and makes sure I know that he is there for me! (And he runs to the store when I'm craving chocolate chip pancakes! I hate pancakes!)

I can't wait until the second trimester. I heard things get better then! But I do have the fact that I am not sick to be thankful for!

The baby has graduated from a blueberry size, to a raspberry size! It's growing over a millimeter a day! The baby has begun to move, although I can't feel it quite yet. It's arms and legs are developed which have begun to flap around! And it's tiny hands have lost their webbing. My uterus is the size of a small grapefruit, and I often feel cramping upon it's growth. Of course I freak out each time this occurs, but Mark reminds me to "stay calm for the baby". I'm still trying to eat healthy, and not give in to my daily cupcake cravings. If you subscribe to Pintrest, you know this because I have begun to "pin" dessert recipes. Sometimes I have to stop myself from licking the screen!

I have begun to think about nursery themes. And I can't wait to begin decorating! I'll need some help though!

Once again, I thank you for your daily prayers! Maybe this week, you can pray for a peace that passes all understanding! I could use it! Thank goodness Spring Break is next week. That will give me a chance to re-group!
