8 Weeks :)

Today marks 8 weeks along!

Baby is the size of a raspberry

I am so happy to say that the 24 hour nausea and total exhaustion have started to ease and I am feeling much more like myself :) Maybe the baby was just excited for Christmas and can now just relax and keep growing. My belly seems to have slowed down in the growth department but after I eat it is quite obvious. Today Lucy and I went shopping and found two maxi dresses for this summer for only $5 and $10! Never too early to stock up on my maternity wardrobe, especially when its not from a maternity store. I am craving anything sour/pickled; bring on the sauerkraut, pickles, olives, and salt and vinegar chips! My usual sweet tooth has taken a back seat to these cravings and the mound of Christmas cookies in the kitchen have really been untouched for the most part. I did get some sour worms though that may not make it many more days ;) This happened when I was pregnant with Lucy too, as did me actually eating potatoes which only happens when I am pregnant. Unlike my first pregnancy, I am HATING water! I force myself to drink as much as I can stand since I know all three of us need it from me. More of our family and close friends found out the news on our Christmas card where we dubbed the baby "Baby August." We still don't plan to find out the sex ahead of time so maybe this will be the name until baby's arrival!
