8 Weeks

I'm officially 8 weeks pregnant today (6/26/13).  2 whole months.  Baby is the size of a raspberry!  It's a little crazy to think about.  Most of what I have read says that your symptoms will increase between 6-8 weeks, but mine seem to have gone the other way.

Here are my symptoms for week 8:
-Slight nausea
-Horrible zit break outs all over
-Exhaustion
-A need to eat every few hours
-Hot flashes

Making a human being is really tiring.  I could sleep for most of the day and night and would probably still be tired.  I feel like the laziest person alive.  I swear, whenever Chris is home I'm sleeping.

I know, I'm lucky.  No morning sickness yet.  I hope it stays that way.  Women everywhere are hating me for not hovering over a toilet all day.  But honestly, I would rather throw up then feel nauseated all day.  I know...since I don't have morning sickness, how can I possibly know that.  Feeling nauseated sucks.  I'd rather throw up and get it over with.

This raised body temperature is what's really getting to me.  I am not used to being so warm all the time.  Okay...it's not really warm...it's hot.  My husband has a high body temperature anyway, and the two of us combined in our little queen bed is ridiculously toasty.  We have two fans going at night and sometimes I am still roasting.

For the most part, life continues on like it always has.  Sometimes I catch myself with my hands on my stomach dreaming about what will come in 7 months from now.  I think about how much our lives will be different and how adorable our new baby will be.  I am excited.  I think it's finally settling in that I am a mother.  Which is a hat I always knew I would wear, but had no idea it would come this quickly.

I'm excited for my baby bump to start showing.  To find out if it's a boy or a girl.   To start planning little blip's nursery and buy clothes and toys and stock up on diapers.  I can't believe it's already 8 weeks.  Time is going to fly.  It already is.
