7 weeks

I can't believe I am 7 weeks already. I feel like every week is such a huge milestone. I really have calmed down some after seeing the heartbeat last week, but I think it is probably natural for every mom-to-be to be a little paranoid. I hear that goes away sometime when the child reaches their mid-40's....give or take a year.

How Far Along: 7 weeks (well, 7w3d by the time I got around to posting)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: not sure...I don't really know what my pre-pregnancy weight was, so I'm just going to start keeping track now. So in that case, ZERO!

How Big is Baby: Approximately 4-5 cm

Maternity Clothes: My best friend gave me a ton of maternity clothes, but so far I am still squeezing my fat ass into my regular clothes.

Stretch Marks: The same ones I've had since I was 12.

Sleep: Not too bad. I'm always tired and find myself napping a lot on the weekends. So far I haven't had to get up to use the bathroom much in the middle of the night.

Best Moment this Week: Getting to see the heartbeat flickering on screen.

Movement: None...especially not in the bowel area.

Food Cravings: Mexican and Asian food. And chocolate milk.

Gender: Too early to tell, but I'm predicting boy.

Labor Signs: No, thank God.

Belly Button In/Out: In

What I am Looking Forward to: My last appointment with the RE is this Friday, and then I should "graduate" to my OB.

Weekly Wisdom: Take advantage of DH's excitement and protectiveness that makes him want to do a lot for me (and not let me do a lot of things myself). I'm sure that will end eventually :)

Milestones: Patches has a heartbeat!
