Hidden Hiller Chronicles: Week Eight



How Far Along: 8 weeks as of Wednesday, December 4, 2013.
Size of Baby: Kidney bean!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Movement: Nothing I can feel.
Sex of Baby: I have had an intuition it's a girl since day one, but we will see if I am right. 
Sleep: As much as possible.  My biggest pregnancy symptom is fatigue and it has definitely hit me.
What I Miss: Not worrying about every little thing and its effect on Lima Bean.
Cravings: Peach ice cream, for some reason.  Such a strange thing to crave.  But maybe I was thinking about Lima Bean being born in the summer and peaches are associated with summer.  Who knows?  Will have to satisfy that one soon.
Symptoms: Mainly fatigue.  I do think the fatigue is a little better this go around than with Henry.  I am still exhausted often, but not as much as I thought I would be having to chase around a toddler while pregnant!
What I'm looking forward to: Our next doctor's appointment, which isn't until 12 weeks with my new practice.  But they will do the nuchal translucency scan to check for chromosomal disorders, so we will get to see Lima Bean on the big screen again!

Other notables: Seeing Lima Bean for the first time this week in our ultrasound!  I was so nervous about the appointment because of the antibiotics I took and just a general fear that something would be wrong.  But the baby looked great!  Such a relief.
