8 weeks: "Olive you" :)

Along: 8w0d
Size of baby: Sweet Pea is the size of an olive, hence the title of the post. :)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm scared to look. I've been so hungry for so long, I know I've gained weight. So much for the What to Expect telling me a lot of women lose weight in their first trimesters...
Maternity Clothes: I bought a shirt last weekend, and I found some jeans at Target for just $18. They were so cheap, I couldn't pass them up. I don't really need them yet, but they were really comfortable. Hopefully they come in handy soon!
Gender: Not sure yet. I'm waiting for my appointment to hear the heartbeat to start judging by the wives' tales.
Movement: No movement, but some discomfort in my belly every now and then. From what I read, this is my uterus growing to prepare for the baby to get bigger.
Sleep: I'm sleeping like a champ whenever I can. I spent this Saturday in bed (more on that in a minute) getting lots of rest. I got up twice in one night this week, which was really frustrating.
What I miss: Diet Coke, lunchmeat and not being hungry every 2 hours.
Cravings: Ice cold white milk has tasted really good this week. I can't get enough of that. I had a craving for a snow cone this week, even though it was 45* outside!
Symptoms: Not many food aversions anymore, and I've gotten my super nose. I can pick out students' perfume, food smells and other random scents really strongly. Also being tired, and having a really strong salt craving. So much for my old sweet tooth. All I want are savory foods these days.
Best moment of the week: (last week) Telling my students at school. I showed them the picture from the ultrasound, and they were all really excited. Lots of them said, "I knew it!" because they thought I was having mood swings. I couldn't break it to them that I've always been strict and hard on them, now they just have an excuse to pin it on. :) They asked me lots of questions, including: "Have you told your husband yet?" "Are you going to keep it?" (sad...) and "Did your friends get mad at you for getting pregnant?" Oh, kids...
Worst moment of the week: On Friday, I had some "issues" that gave me cause for concern. I won't go into details, but I got really freaked out. The on-call doctor in my practice did not seem concerned, and suggested I get lots of rest (like the bedrest all day Saturday) and that I come in Monday for a "peace of mind" ultrasound. It's going to be a long wait until then, but I'm trying to keep calm and rest and not worry. I feel mostly fine overall, but any change from the normal can worry a pregnant lady! Hopefully I will have good news and a calm mind on Monday.
