8 weeks

How am I feeling, you ask? Like I'm "coming down with something." Just this annoying combination of nausea and fatigue that's lingering about 75% of the time. The other 25% of the time is a relief to feel "normal." I'm looking...thicker...these days, too. And probably a little green, too!! I have a love-hate relationship with food, too. A meal can be totally yummy but I still have to kind of suffer through it, yet I crave stuff that doesn't taste that good. Weird.

I'm so excited to have 2/10(ish) months behind me!! I'm 1/5 done!!

New this week:



About as big as a kidney bean!

Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
