I have a reminder on my phone to take a few photos of me this weekend to document my progress. I think I have the starting of the bloat, at least towards the end of the day.
How far along: 7 weeks. She's generating about one hundred new brain cells each minute. Not only is her brain becoming more complex, but her heart is too. Also important: She's developing a permanent set of kidneys. Her arm and leg joints are now forming.
How big is baby: The size of a blueberry. Baby measured 9.31 mm today to be exact :)
Weight gain/loss: Still haven't weighed myself...
Stretch marks: No.
Sleep: Super tired! I still go to bed at about 9 every night now (yes, even the weekends).
Diet/Cravings/Aversions: Still not really feeling sick. Sometimes at night when I get up to go the bathroom I feel a little off. But nothing too bad at all. I find that one minute I have a huge craving for something, then I eat it and have no desire to be near it again. We had Anita's on Friday and it was amazing, but wanted nothing to do with the leftovers. We had Thai on Saturday and Sunday I couldn't even stand the smell of the leftovers. Aaron is definitely benefiting from this since he gets to eat all of my leftovers :)
Exercise: Still not really :( With the cramping and bleeding, I've been trying to take it easy. I'm still just taking Wally for walks. We ordered a heart rate monitor for me to use at the gym (the doctor said to keep my heart rate at or below 120). I'm just patiently waiting for that to arrive.
Gender: Still leaning towards being surprised.
Movement: No.
The belly: Nothing noticeable besides the bloat look at the end of the day.
What I'm spazzing about: The cramping and bleeding are still the big ones. I had a big scare Tuesday morning. The doctor reassured me again that it's completely normal and the baby was perfectly fine. However, I would really just like the bleeding to stop for my own peace of mind.
What I'm loving: Seeing the baby and hearing the HB every week :) And seeing how fast the baby is growing!
Symptoms: Tired. Minimal cramping and spotting now. Hungry all of the time, but then I get full really fast once I actually eat something.
What I'm looking forward to: Graduating from the RE next week. Although, I guess it's also something that I'm slightly not looking forward to since I won't get to see the baby as often then.
Best moment of the week: Seeing the baby and the reassuring HB :)
