MORNING SICKNESS?!

This morning I had "morning sickness", which really hasnt been present in this pregnancy. I was eating my favorite hawaiian food, the loft, leftovers. I cant even imagine eating there anytime soon. Really turned off....bleh. i'm 8 weeks and 4 days, kinda moving slow, lets speed this up to 13 weeks when I reveal I'm preggo and publish this blog to public! Why am I waiting? well I feel like waiting to the second semester is better for me, and the baby is more in the clear of a mischarrage or other problems. I really know wanna know what I'm having, and try to keep my mind off the subject.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BABY

I'm 8 weeks and 1 day today, and was thinking next thanksgiving our family will have grown and i'll have another reason to be thankful. I've been extremely exhausted and tired, back is killing me, still no morning sickness, I keep thinking it's gonna start any day. I did want to throw up yesterday when I opened my fridge to a strong onion smell, ewww. I threw the onions out even the container and put the trash outside. My sense of smell with baby is so super strong, I smell the weridest and strongest things.

Heres whats going on at 8 weeks:

By the end of your second month of pregnancy, your baby is about the size of a pinto bean and is approximately 14 to 20 mm long. If this is your first pregnancy, you still probably will not be showing yet. However, if this is not your first pregnancy you might be able to tell that you are pregnant. You will notice a slight change in how your clothes fit and your doctor can tell that your uterus is larger than normal. Before you were pregnant, your uterus was about the size of your fist. However, by 6 weeks of pregnancy, your uterus has grown to the size of a grapefruit!

Your baby is developing at an amazing rate during these early weeks. Eyelid folds and ears are forming. Your baby's eyes are still very wide apart on the sides of her head, but will eventually center themselves out. The tip of the nose is actually present at this time as well. On ultrasound you can see that the aortic and pulmonary valves of the heart are present. The tubes that lead from the throat to lungs are branching and your baby's torso is getting longer and beginning to straighten out. Just a few weeks ago, your baby's arms were tiny buds. Now the elbows are actually present and the arms and legs extend forward and have grown longer. Fingers and toes are becoming visible also.

One of the symptoms that you might feel around this time of your pregnancy is cramping or pain in your lower abdomen or side as your uterus grows. Some pregnant women feel tightening or contractions of the uterus. Do not get alarmed if you do not feel this though. If tightening of the uterus or contractions is accompanied by bleeding, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately. Many pregnant women also experience an occasional pain that begins in their buttocks and radiates down their back or legs. This is known as sciatic nerve pain and can be extremely painful at times. More than likely the pain is caused by the pressure on the nerve and it is best to lie on the opposite side to relieve the pressure.

ONE OF MY WERID DREAMS

I had a dream that I had the baby and I was pregnant the whole time and didnt know. I kept trying to see there the girls doctor, but no appointments. Funny thing is the sex of the baby was never revealed in the dream. AHH the werid dreams I will be having.
Felt this morning, kinda sick to my stomach and dont want to eat, exhausted, and the girls woke up early, but since its saturday no timeline to get out of the house. Thank god. Last night I woke up around 245am with a stomach ache and being really hot, opened the window and turned on the fan, took some tums, eddie was so mad to wake up to a freezing cold bed room, felt good to me!

INTRODUCTION

I've always wanted to blog my pregnancy but never did, this time around I will and stay to it!
I'm 7 weeks 2 days pregnant, my third child, I have two beautiful girls, angelina 3 1/2 and leilani 22 months. I'm really excited to document week by week, ultrasounds, doc. appts, cravings,ups and downs. Especially with dealing with two toddlers and running a household.

I found out at 5 weeks and 6 days, went to the doctors, to confrim by urine, and ultrasound. Heart rate was so fast. I have decided this will be my last child, so im excited to go through this pregnancy and sad knowing this is the last. Since I have two girls, I'm really hoping for a boy, but more than anything just want a healthy baby.

**EVERY WEEK I WILL POST WHATS GOING IN WITH MY LIL BEAN!**

This week your baby has an amazing growth spurt. At the beginning of this week, your baby is approximately 4 to 5 mm and by the end of the week it has more than doubled to 11 to 13 mm! Your baby weights approximately 0.03 ounces. Most women are ready for the world to know they are pregnant. Even though you have not changed very much yet, it will come soon! You might have gained a small amount of weight by now, but it should only be a couple of pounds at this time. It is not unusual to lose a few pounds or remain the same though. Internally, cervical mucus is thickening and will form a plug in the cervical canal. The plug seals your cervix throughout the pregnancy and it will be expelled prior to delivery when your cervix begins to dilate.

Your baby's leg and arm buds are longer now and they have divided into segments where the hands and feet will be. The hands and feet also have an area where the fingers and toes will begin to form. At this point of your pregnancy, the heart is bulging from the body and it has divided into right and left chambers. The brain's hemispheres are continuing to grow and the air passages into the lungs are visible. Your baby's eyes are beginning to get pigment. The nose is developing and the beginning of the face can be seen. The baby's abdomen is developing quickly and the appendix and pancreas are already present. Your baby's digestive tract is beginning to form and the hindgut is present. The shape of the talk can still be seen, but it will fade in 3 or 4 weeks.
