Ah food, glorious food. I've hit the stage in pregnancy where if I don't eat shortly after waking, and every couple of hours thereafter, I get nauseous. I'm craving protein (probably because of the extra iron I'm needing right now), so while the boys have grapes for morning snack, I have a slab of meatloaf...which Joe finds amusing. I'm still incredibly tired, and am trying to figure out the best combination of naptime and bedtime so that I am still able to get stuff done around the house, and get work done, too. My pants are starting to get snug already (especially after meals) and that is kind of annoying, considering I'm not even out of the first trimester yet. I don't think I had to switch to maternity pants until I was four or five months with Dom, but I think it's going to be closer to three with this kid.
As for this kid, at 8 weeks she/he is about 5/8" long (kidney bean size). All appendages have continued to develop, and the respiratory system and neural pathways have started to form. Here is a 3-d ultrasound pic of a baby at this stage, courtesy of babycenter.com...
Kind of looks like a kidney bean, too. That's it for this week! Thanks for reading!
