8 Weeks today!

Today is a big milestone, 8 weeks (2 months)!  Originally we were planning on waiting this long to tell anyone, but we all know how well that went!  I'm tired a lot and nausous most of the day, but never really get sick.  Keeping food in my system helps but sometimes it's hard to eat when you don't feel well.  My appointment is still 2 weeks away and I don't know if I'm going to make it! AHHH! 

We know that we want to do a jungle theme in the nursery.  We have a friend that is a great artist and is going to do a mural on 2 of the 3 walls, which is exciting!  We have the bedding narrowed down to 2 or 3 different ones, I have pictures of them below with the name of it under the picture.  Let me know which one you like because we can't decide!

Here is what is going on with baby and me this week (Sorry about the bra talk Dad)!

Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

You may notice that your bra is getting more snug. Soon you'll likely need a larger size with better support. Rising levels of hormones cause breast growth and other tissue changes, all in preparation for lactation. Your breasts may continue to grow throughout pregnancy. Don't be surprised if you go up a cup size or two, especially if it's your first baby. Keep this in mind, and allow for room to grow when investing in a new bra.

Feeling fatigued? Hormonal changes — in particular, a dramatic rise in progesterone — may be contributing to your sluggishness. Nausea and vomiting can certainly cost you energy, too. And you may be having trouble getting a good night's sleep at this point, especially if you're uncomfortable or find you need to get up to pee.
