Eight Weeks

How far along: Eight weeks.
Size of baby: Lima bean.  My favorite vegetable!!  This week, Beansprout's fingers and toes develop and his arms and legs grow longer.  His wrists, elbows and ankles are more visible.
Movement: None.
Sex of baby: After the doctor's appointment, still leaning towards boy.
Sleep: Sleeping like a rock, for as many hours a day as I can.  Since this week was Thanksgiving, I got lots of sleep, and it was wonderful.
What I miss: Having to keep secrets!  About three more weeks and we can be out in the open.
Cravings: This week I wanted Eggo waffles with syrup.  Mark was sweet and bought them for me at around 10:30 at night.  The perks of living two blocks from a grocery store!  I also still crave milk.
Symptoms: Mainly just fatigue, with a little nausea.
What I'm looking forward to: The next appointment, at ten weeks.  We get to meet with a doctor this time (my regular OB-GYN, who is so sweet and reassured me at my last yearly appointment that I looked great and should have no problem getting pregnant--she was right!).  I think we get another ultrasound, and we will do some additional testing for chromosomal disorders.  The results of our 8 week bloodwork should be back next week.
