Week 8 - I Think I'm Sick

So on top of the morning sickness, I think I am getting sick. I have been hacking up a lung for more than a week now and spitting up mucous (lovely I know). I have doctor appointment in about 2 weeks but I think Josh wants me to go in earlier. For those of you who know me really well know that I can get bronchitis really easily, and it's starting to feel like I'm getting it. I really hope not...I hate it.

I keep reading all this stuff about being pregnant and everyone says my clothes should be fitting a little tigher and that I would be gaining weight, I haven't yet...I'm still the same. I guess since it's my first pregnancy I won't notice this yet. Oh well, I guess I'm just excited about getting a belly...I kinda wish that when you found out you were pregnant the belly just appears! Now wouldn't that be interesting. I am so excited about being pregnant...I just wish I didn't have to go through the sick part.

Even though I haven't seen my baby...I know that it's been growing a lot. Here's a glimpse of what's happening from WebMd.com.

Your baby's facial features continue to develop. Each ear begins as a little fold of skin at the side of the head. Tiny buds that eventually grow into arms and legs are forming. Fingers, toes and eyes are also forming

The neural tube (brain, spinal cord and other neural tissue of the central nervous system) is well formed. The digestive tract and sensory organs begin to develop. Bone starts to replace cartilage.

By the end of the second month, your baby, now a fetus, is about 1 inch long, weighs about 1/3 ounce, and is virtually all head (1/3 of its body is head).


To my baby:
Hey there little one. You've only been inside your little waterbed home for 8 weeks and I'm already in love with you. It's still hard for me to believe that you're growing inside of me. I'm so excited to be your mommy. Everyday I pray for you, wondering if you're going to be little boy or my little girl I've always wanted, wondering what you are going to look like. I love you even though you are making me little sick right now. :) Can't wait to see you. Love, your mommy
