How far along: 7 weeks as of November 15, 2011.
Size of baby: Blueberry.
Movement: None.
Sex of baby: Still leaning towards boy. This week I had a dream where I was looking at the nursery and didn't like the bedding we had chosen, which was light blue with polka dots. It was weird, because I am not really into baby blue for boys and pink for girls, but perhaps it was confirming my intuition that it's a little boy.
Sleep: I am into however much of it I can get. This week I was in St. Louis for four days for work, and it was like a mini-vacation, because I was able to take a nap every afternoon and get at least 9 hours of sleep each night. I didn't want to come back!
What I miss: Not having to hide the pregnancy from friends and co-workers. We went out with some friends this Saturday evening, and I ordered a sprite with lime. I even asked for it in the same glass as they would use for a gin and tonic or other similar drink. Someone asked what I was drinking, and I hope I didn't give anything away as I fibbed about its contents! Only four weeks until we can tell everyone and don't have to worry about keeping secrets!
Cravings: Pretty much food in general. I am constantly hungry. I do still have the anti-craving for pierogies.
Symptoms: Fatigue, stuffy nose. A little nausea after eating, but I have not gotten sick again since last week.
What I'm looking forward to: Ultrasound next week! Fingers crossed that all will go well. If it does, we will tell our siblings. We also are planning to make the first baby purchase (an armoire I love from Land of Nod, since it is on a spectacular sale!) if everything is as it should be at the eight-week appointment.
