8 weeks

I must say I am so happy to not have heavy morning sickness. Except for feeling queasy now and then I'm feeling great. The tiredness still a issue at times ... one I cant do anything about so I just push through it.

I am so happy to be a 8 weeks. So happy to know my little baby is growing inside me. I feel so healthy and relaxed. This pregnancy surly is off to a great start !!!

We went for a ultra sound this week. Lexi was fascinated about what Heidi was doing and barely looked at the screen, cause all she was interested in was the devise Heidi was gliding over my tummy. She was nervous it would hurt and wanted to know why my tummy was wet (gel they use). Ruby was so snotty with flu and barley interested. Lily was so disappointed that she  couldn't see anything looking like a baby. We weren't able to see much unfortunately. BUT what we did see was a teeny tiny little flickering which was the heart beating. Oh man, soooooooo precious !!!!!!! Heidi said baby had a good strong implantation and luckily at the top of my uterus  far away from my cervix (the exit). Baby measured to just over 7mm, oh my gosh how sweet.


 
Even though you cant see much on these images I look at them and remember seeing that little heart beating. It really touched me so much. After my recent miscarriage I think I didn't really connect yet with my pregnancy and it hasn't felt real. I think I've been trying to protect myself from getting hurt again, by not getting attached. OMW but when I saw that little heart beat all protective barriers melted and I fell in love ... hopelessly !!!! Since that moment I've been very emotional and I feel so in touch with my little baby. It was love a first sight and no turning back or taking it slow my heart belongs to that little 7 mm baby.


At 8 weeks our baby is now a fetus, meaning "little one". Baby has a strong heart beat, and can you believe it baby's taste buds are developing this week.
