7 Weeks


how far along: 7 Weeks, 1 Day. According to my app.

size of the baby: A raspberry! A cute, tiny little delicious raspberry.
 
baby is: Over half an inch long! It sounds SO tiny, almost like it's not even there.
 
movement: No movement, too early obviously. I'm moving pretty slow though. Very tired and very nauseous.
 
gender: No clue, don't care. I mean, if I'm choosing, I would love a boy. But I just care if it's healthy and happy.
 
total weight gain: Actually, with all this nausea and puking going on, I haven't gained any weight. I haven't been too diligent in keeping track but I am at 146 this morning.

symptoms: So much nausea. I spent the last two days (Saturday & Sunday) eitehr in bed or on the couch. Watching The Office and Selling New York on Netflix. I'm tired, ta-tas hurt, stomach is hurting from all the nausea, I pee constantly and I can smell everything.

stretch marks: None that I can see, but I haven't been checking very hard. I'm sure if I see one, I'll be all over it, but now it's not really a concern. Mostly my nipples have gotten darker and larger.
 
maternity clothes: None but I hate wearing jeans. They're so constricting and I just can't seem to want to look nice, mostly I want to be comfortable.
  
sleep: Yes PLEASE. If I could be in bed all day err day, I would.
 
missing: Feeling like myself. Can that be a thing? I really feel like my body has been hijacked and I can't wait until this dang first trimester is over and I can go back to actually caring about food.
 
cravings/aversions: Basically all food sounds gross except for bread/carbs. I live off saltines and ginger ale. Hence the weight loss.
 
cries: Jesse was joking around with me the other day and said "Is the rest of your pregnancy just going to suck for me?" referencing my inability to do basically anything around the house, and I lost it. I screamed and cried because how DARE he think he has it so difficult when I'm the one with the raging hormones and morning (let's be real, all day) sickness.
 
Jesse is: so supportive. He basically does anything I ask, gets me whatever food I need, takes care of everything around the house and comforts me when I'm crying, nauseated, tired, everything. He also bought me a gorgeous rocking chair and I just sat in it and cried for 10 minutes.
 
best moments: Telling my parents. My mom just hugged me and cried and said oh my god, oh my god, over and over.

not so best moment: Last night. I attempted to take my prenatal, because I've heard it's a lot better if you take it at night, and I tried to swallow and my gag reflex and nausea made me puke. It was awful. Goodbye lasagna, hope we meet again in my second trimester.

looking forward to: Tomorrow is our first ultrasound! I'm super nervous. I can't even feel excited because I can't even believe there is something in there. But I pray pray pray there is!
