8 Weeks + 2 Days

July 4th marked 8 weeks of being pregnant and yesterday was a month since we found out!

What a busy busy month it has been! When I first found out we were expecting, I downloaded the "What to Expect Pregnancy" App on my phone. It gives daily and weekly updates on how you might be feeling and what is exactly baking inside. One thing that I really like about it is that it tells you about what size your baby is. In the past month we have gone from an orange seed to a green olive and it is about an 1 inch long! What a miracle! Just last week at the doctor it wasn't even close to an inch! 

I have bad all day sickness...morning my butt! I was going to try my best and not take any medicine the whole time. Well...after about two nights of not being able to sleep because of headaches (I quit drinking Mountain Dew the second I found out...my doctor told me I could ease back into this and I might. I still drink tea or a coke once a day because of the headaches) I took some Tylenol. 

At about 6 weeks the sickness came full force! I could not function- it was awful! I tried everything and finally I called my doctor and she called me in Zofran. That little white pill is a miracle pill! It stays in my pocketbook and with me all the time. The past few days I have gone and only had to take it once instead of twice of day. I feel most sick in the early morning, most of the time before I even get out of bed and then late at night. If I don't eat by 7- it's over and Zofran can't even help me. 

We go back August 2 and get to see the baby again...I am hoping on at least a guess on what it could be! I have some friends and their doctor was able to tell at this point, fingers crossed! I think I am pretty sure about a girl name and we keep going back and forth on boy names...decisions, decisions.

This is a kind of boring post- nothing exciting to report...I just want to remember things for myself!
