8 Weeks - Johnny Cashew



Had my dating scan today and looks like we are further along than expected... 8 WEEKS! Due date is officially October 2, 2014!

Andy's response was "Great, footy grand final week. Ruined forever." I said maybe this baby will be the luck charm the Broncos need oh so badly. SNAP.

Went to the Dr expecting a vaginal US and was slightly disappointed when she only did the external US. I know I know, it was much less uncomfortable than expected, but I cleaned up ground zero for nothing?!? Shaved legs and everything. Besides all the work that went into the preparation, it was amazing! The Dr said that it was 1.5 cm long and we saw the heartbeat!!! 168 bpm. It was the cutest vibrating little cashew I've ever seen. I was really excited and forgot to ask if we could get a picture. For some reason I just kept clapping, so if you really want a visual just imagine a pregnant retarded seal.

Here is my current belly. Please keep in mind I just ate some awesome GYG pork nachos and a litre of water. Sorry there is not cute chalkboard sign or disgusting bathroom selfie, but I'm currently busy making a couch angel. 



How far along: 8 weeks
Total weight gain: Feels like a bit, but scale says no.
Maternity clothes? Nope, but it's been too hot to wear pants. Looking forward to some sweet elasty-jeans. 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Fine at night, but need a nap often. Pretty norm.
Best moment this week: Saw the flutter of the black and white heartbeat! So art deco!
Miss Anything? Feta! Didn't realize how I put it on everything! And Diet Coke. 
Movement: Just gas.
Food cravings: Cheese and cranberry juice.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Seem to only get nauseous in the afternoons and around dinner. I think baby just wants 
mama to have a break from cooking. Ganging up on Daddy A already... muhahaha 
Gender: NFI... Today I feel it's a boy.  
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Giant sore fun bags
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very excited and happy! Scared for school to start next week though!
Looking forward to: Finally getting Andy to organise the garage so we can clear out the bubs room.
