8 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  8 weeks
Size of baby:  Baby Herrman is the size of a raspberry!
Total Weight Gain:  Probably about 1 pound
Maternity Clothes:  None yet, but I've bought some new sweater dresses, tunics and leggings that will transition well to my growing belly!
Gender:  We look forward to finding out!
Sleep:  I can rarely stay up past 9:00 at night.
What I miss: Caffeinated pop, iced mochas from McDonalds and steamy hot baths (it's all worth it though!)
Cravings:  Junk food like french fries and pizza.  For lunch one day this week I ate half of a large cheese pizza (in my defense, it was thin crust!)  I've also craved a lot of citrus like oranges, grapefruit, lemon drops and limeade.  Most other food sounds gross to me right now.
Symptoms: Tiredness, nausea, vivid dreams, food aversions and feeling very lightheaded in the mornings.
Best Moment This Week:  Calling both of my grandmas on the phone to tell them the good news (technically last week, but still a great moment!)

Psalm 105:1-2 – "Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts."

U look great, Allie! Definitely seeing that pregnant glow! Before long, u will be posting news about the baby's weight gain instead of yours!

Allie you look great! In a month or two, you are going to feel the first little flutter in your tummy. It will be so faint you won't even be sure its not your imagination, but before long, those little flutters turn in to powerful little kicks, head butts, elbowing, etc . . . So enjoy your quiet time. You will love it all though. It is a very beautiful time that you will always treasure.
