Raspberry...

8 Weeks:

8 Weeks

Our little raspberry, the baby's size this week, hit a huge growth spurt 

At least that is what I am thinking considering the huge change in how I felt this week 

Previously my days were marked tiredness and naps throughout the day

This week I had tons more energy (yay!) and I was thankful for it

Considering I have never been so nauseous in my whole life

Morning sickness hit and hit hard this week

Even causing me to miss several days of work 

Apparently its hard to have a session with your therapist if they keep leaving to be sick 

The kids I work with don't know I am pregnant yet and we will wait to tell them 

But they have all noticed how many saltines I eat now at work 

And some have even been requesting crackers for their snacks...haha :)

We filled our cupboards with saltines, gingerale, lemons, peppermints, etc...

Basically I tried any and every home remedy that was offered to me

The winner of the week ended up being...Cheerios!

This made me smile because its the only thing that calmed my mom's stomach with me 

We are thankful this week is over and thankful that nausea means our baby is growing


Another big change this week was that I slipped into maternity pants
Although I am not really "showing" yet I have begun to feel really uncomfortable
I found that if my pants were tight I felt even more nauseous
My mom had sent a giftcard for the GAP, my favorite store, to buy some things
I was so excited when my new pants arrived in the mail and fit great
The pants are really comfortable and yet look just as cute as my regular pants
I'll be picking up several things online over the next few months I am sure 

"Lord, I depend on you for the very strength to get me through the day"
