Baby Bump!

Sooooo, I am pregnant!  I've always been a cutesy, crafty person, so I ALWAYS want to find unique ways to do things.  So, I found a cute way to tell Adam I was pregnant.  I took a gift box, put some blue and pink tissue paper in, and added a positive test with a little note.  Once we had our 8 week ultrasound, we also told our immediate family and close friends.  We are going to wait until later to tell everyone else since we are getting chromosomal testing and also to be out of the first trimester.  I have been doing a lot of "drinking" at happy hours and girls nights in the meantime.  Sprite with lime = gin and tonic, and watered down white grape juice = white wine .  Although my wine concoction was a little off-color - I needed more water!

I wanted to save the memories of my bump growing, like so many people do, so I took a note from the girl with the chalkboard and made my own!

 
 
How far along? 8 Weeks, 5 Days
Total weight gain/loss: minus 1 pound
Maternity clothes? nope, regular clothes only.
Stretch marks? No
Exercise this week?  Two Zumba classes, and 8 miles this week for my 5K training
Sleep: Waking up at night to pee, and taking naps when I can on weekends!
Best moment this week: Our 8 week ultrasound where we heard the heartbeat, and shared our news with family after that. 
Have you told family and friends: Only immediate family and close friends - we recorded the heartbeat on video and shared via Facetime and Skype since all our family is out of town!
Miss Anything? I miss not feeling sick most of the time - morning sickness is just me feeling nauseous all the time.
Movement: Not yet
Food cravings: Lemonade
Anything making you queasy or sick: Every time I eat I feel queasy afterwards, but I feel queasy when I don't eat too. 
Have you started to show yet: Just a little bloating, no baby weight yet.(seeing as I lost a pound, I can't be!) 
Gender prediction: Seems like everyone we know wants us to have a girl, so I am kind of thinking it might be - although before we told family, I would have said boy. 
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Both - a mix depending on how nauseous I am.
Weekly Wisdom: Buy a ton of ginger ale, it seems to help me.  Nap as much as you want! 
Looking forward to: Not feeling sick and tired, getting a bigger bump & sharing with everyone else
