OH MY GOODNESS.....
Today is the last day of August!!!!!!!!! How is time going so fast??
I remember feeling this way when June ended. That feels like a week or so ago.
Not good, I need to get working.

Late post, more bloat, no new updates!
Life has been relatively uneventful since my post a week ago. I've been tired and felt too lazy to update- sorry! Here's my delayed 8 weeks picture/survey:
(Picture taken by me with the auto-function on my camera. Mr. Beaver was asleep and I felt bad waking him just for a picture...)
How far along? 8 weeks... 20% done I guess? 8/40 weeks, right?
Total weight gain/loss: I'm thinking I put on a couple of pounds, but I fluctuate so much during the day, I'm not sure.
Maternity clothes? Nope but I'm seriously considering getting a be band thing I keep hearing about. I got a few baggy shirts because all of my stuff is fitted, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm the only one noticing my bloated belly!!
Sleep: Some days I feel fine, but most days I am still sooo tired. I have been sleeping the same at night, but wake up feeling like I did an abs class the day before!
Best moment this week: hmm... I guess finishing two of several projects I've got going on. Unrelated to baby making, but I am waiting to finish all of my projects before telling work the big news, so kinda relevant.
Movement: just the flickering heartbeat on the ultrasound
Food cravings: not much... I did want hard or sour candy the other day, which is very weird for me. I didn't have any, so I had some seltzer with cranberry juice and some lemon squeezed in, which was yummy.
Gender: ?? Not sure yet if we even want to find out.
Labor signs: nope
Belly Button in or out? I have an outie, so it's always out. I guess I'll report if it seems to be more out later?
What I miss: not feeling tired and crappy,
What I am looking forward to: still the same...My 1st appt on Sept. 9. I am hoping they will try to hear the heartbeat on the doppler! We may start telling family after that.
Weekly wisdom: As tired as I feel, it usually helps to get up and do stuff!
Milestones: I guess hitting the 1/5th of the way through mark

Spanx+mocktails
I felt so blah today, I wore my spanx to try to hold in the bloat. It worked pretty well!! I don't think I felt like I looked bloated at all, the whole day! Win!
I had to lie to friends about drinking again- second time in a week. I wish I had stuck to my plan to not drink all the time while we were trying, so that when it happened it wouldn't be a sudden change. I either lie when I tell them what I am drinking (because they ask), or I tell the truth, or turn down an offered alcoholic drink, and have to lie about why I am not drinking. When I say I am driving (not a lie!) I am offered rides, a place to stay, and weird looks since I've always allowed myself a drink if I will be somewhere for at least two hours. I hope people aren't mad at me for lying, and don't think I'm crazy for what I feel is going a little overboard trying to hide my pregnancy!! I just am not ready for work to know, which is what will happen once it is on facebook...

7 Week Belly Pic = Bloat :(
OMG.... I don't know what happened in the past week- I swear I've been eating the same, exercising almost as much- just cut down on the intensity. I am CRAZY bloated! This is actually what I've looked like before bed each night, after the whole day of eating/drinking, but this picture (like all of the past pictures) was taken in the morning. This is what I thought I'd look like in a month or two... wow.
How far along? 7 Weeks already!
Total weight gain/loss: nada, despite my growing belly!
Maternity clothes? Nope
Sleep: Still sleepy during the day and taking a nap some/most days. I'm not having trouble getting up in the morning, though, and feel pretty rested.
Best moment this week: SEEING THE HEARTBEAT!!!!!!
Movement: just the flickering heartbeat on the ultrasound
Food cravings: Just food in general- fast and furious, but then I can't even eat a whole serving.
Gender: ?? Not sure yet if we even want to find out.
Labor signs: nope
Belly Button in or out? I have an outie, so it's always out. I guess I'll report if it seems to be more out later?
What I miss: A friend made hurricanes a couple of nights ago and I had to turn them down... I LOVE them (was our signature wedding drink!) and everyone was talking about how good they were :( definitely worth it though!!!
What I am looking forward to: My 1st appt on Sept. 9. I am hoping they will try to hear the heartbeat on the doppler! We may start telling family after that.
Weekly wisdom: umm... bloat sucks?
Milestones: Seeing the heartbeat!!!!!!!!

I'm Pregnant!!!!!!!
I feel like I can finally get excited :)
The heartbeat was flickering at about 115 bpm. Awesome.
EDD adjusted to April 10 (which is exactly what I thought it was from the beginning).
More tomorrow... right now just celebrating and enjoying how happy we are!

Week 6- check!
Oops- forget belly pics!!! Mr. Beaver thinks that I am just sticking my stomach out more each week, but I think I am just getting more and more bloated :)
(PS- I am purposely wearing the same sweatpants for each picture- I feel like I look so different in different pants, I thought it would be easiest to compare/contrast in the same ones. I don't always wear the same thing, or have "Saturday morning sweats" ha! I just slip them on for the picture, as you can tell by the mis-matched tops :))
According to my EDD (that I calculated, not the doctor's), I am 6 full weeks into my pregnancy! I didn't do a week 5 survey because nothing really changed... there still isn't much that has changed, but here it is anyway!
How far along? 6 Weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: I fluctuate so much within a day, it's hard to say... but maybe a lb?
Maternity clothes? Nope
Sleep: Still sleepy during the day and taking a nap some/most days. I'm not having trouble getting up in the morning, though, and feel pretty rested.
Best moment this week: Mr. Beaver and I talked about names- nothing serious, but it was fun to think about! He actually loved one of my girl names!
Movement: nope
Food cravings: Nothing specific, but bouts of starvation hit me very fast, and I can't go to bed on an empty stomach or I end up getting up an hour later to eat.
Gender: ?? Not sure yet if we even want to find out.
Labor signs: nope
Belly Button in or out? I have an outie, so it's always out. I guess I'll report if it seems to be more out later?
What I miss: Right now nothing. We went to dinner at a microbrewery and for a second I wished I could try a beer, but I don't really miss it.
What I am looking forward to: The follow-up ultrasound on Wednesday!!!!!
Weekly wisdom: hmm....graham crackers and milk are a good way to satiate hunger at night!
Milestones: I don't feel like we have hit any milestones this week :( It has just been full of worry and anxiety for Wednesday!! I guess the baby hit the milestone that (s)he SHOULD have a steady heartbeat now- we'll find out on wednesday!!!

One more week...
Just a quick update:
We heard back from the doctor's office and we are going to go in for another ultrasound. They said that they wanted to do it at least 10 days after the first, but next Wednesday was the first morning appointment they had, which I took so that Mr. Beaver can come with me.
I can't wait to see that everything is okay with our baby!!
