Week 8

Not much has changed since my last post.  The only thing that is really hard for me to deal with is the tiredness! By the time I get home from work I have to immediately go lay down for a 45min nap or I feel like I am going to die.  I really wanted to keep up my workout routine but being this tired has made it extremely difficult.  I am 0 for 4 this week.  Oops. 
My new obsession..... shopping for strollers.   Last Sunday Jason and I spent the whole day going store to store trying out different strollers.  My favorite by far is the Mamas & Papas Urbo stroller.  Now I am on a mission to find it gently used and 1/2 the retail price.

First Doctors Appointment

Today I had my fist doctors appointment.  Everything went well...and they confirmed I AM PREGNANT! My due date is 11/27/2011.  Which is great  because I will get to be home with the baby and family around the holidays.  My next doctors appointment  in 4 weeks will be my first official prenatal visit, where we will hear the heartbeat, blood work; test for abnormalities, and so forth.  I wish this appointment wasn't so far away.  As it will also be close to the end of my first trimester and my chances of miscarriage reduce significantly. 

I have been so tired lately... I am  actually considering going to bed before 10pm on Friday night!

Pregnant Survey

How far along? 6 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss:  I don't want to know..hopefully 0

Maternity clothes? Not yet, but I really like my sweats and stretchy pants.
 
Morning Sickness: No, but the doctor told me I am not out of the clear yet. 
 
Sleep: Tired all of the time, need daily naps, but then I cant sleep at night and end up tossing and turning. 

Food cravings: Sweets- all I want is cake, pies, candy, cookies, pretty much anything where sugar is the #1 ingredient.  This is strange for me because I have always been a salty food person who rarely ate dessert. 
 
Gender: According to the Chinese Astrology calendar it is a GIRL...but we wont know for sure for a few more months. 

What I miss: My waistline, beer,  ENERGY
What I am looking forward to: Showing so I actually look pregnant and not just fat or bloated.
 
Other thoughts from the week: I am forgetful lately.  I thought this happened  later pregnancy, but I have found myself already forgetting to do things and "spacing out".
