Week 7

Date: 2/16/15

How far along: 7 weeks, 3 days

Fruit-size comparison: Blueberry

Maternity clothes: Not yet.  

Weight gain:  I don't own a scale, but I don't think I've gained any weight.  

Stretch Marks: Not yet.

Sleep: I'm tired all the time and I'm mostly sleeping well.  

Best moment of the week: It's been a mostly uneventful week, but I have been developing more symptoms, which I'm hoping is a positive sign.

Movement: Not for awhile, unfortunately.  

Cravings: Not really.  I want sweets, but that's typical.

Gender: I can't wait to find out.  

Anything making you queasy/sick: Nope

What I miss:  Having a dreamless sleep.  I usually don't mind remembering my dreams, but they've been all been disturbing and/or sad lately.  I've had several dreams about losing the baby, bad work dreams, and one about my cousin who passed away five years ago.  
What I’m looking forward to: My ultrasound next week.  I can't wait to see the progress my baby has made!

Symptoms: The past few days I've developed a lot more symptoms.  I still have no nausea, but I've been having a lot of food aversions.  I tried to be good and eat some salad and fruit yesterday and I could barely choke them down. I've also been lightheaded, have had a stuffy nose and a lot of headaches.  Yesterday I was lazy all day and I finally got up to make dinner and got a migraine. I guess I have a good excuse to be really lazy.:)  Oh, and lots of breast tenderness.  I've already had to go up a cup size in my bras.  

Emotions: I'm mostly excited, but I struggle a lot with anxiety.  I can't seem to stop worrying that something will happen to the baby.  I'm not sure if it's the long road it took to get here, the miscarriage, or my natural inclination toward worry.  It's probably a combination of all three.  

I would have posted a baby bump picture along with this update, but I don't really have a bump yet.  Also, I'm going to try to post one of these every week, but don't feel obligated to read.  These are mostly for my benefit.  I want to remember everything about this pregnancy!
