7 Weeks!

A few days late...but here'goes!


How far along: 7 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Up to 123.7..gained 1.1 lbs from last week. Not what I was hoping for! Again, I started off about 7 lbs over what I would have wanted to start my pregnancy at, so I don't want to gain any extra too early. I was hoping I would lose a few pounds actually!

Maternity clothes: No, but my work pants are tighter than before, but I have gained 8.8 lbs since the end of Feb. They are definitely not loose lol!

Sleep: I love to nap. More than anything. From the moment I get up to the moment my head hits the pillow for my early evening nap, I fantasize about curling up and sleeping with Baby Kaos, Saf and Q.  Mornings are especially hard.

Best moment this week:  When Mister touches my belly, being at the City and Colour concert - sitting on the lawn,  listening to band that brought back vivid memories of Cape Breton, watching the TFC game, the Ex and the beams of lights, knowing our Cupcake is with us. 


Icky Stuff: Some nausea, but very little. Mainly just exhausted in the morning.

Belly button in or out?: Innie.

Craving: None this week. 

What I miss: Absolutely NOTHING. I'm the happiest I've been since our wedding/honeymoon in June '07. 

What I am looking forward to:  Tomorrow's ultrasound..we pray that Cupcake is strong and healthy, and I hope we can see a heartbeat.


Milestones: Told Dani I'm pregnant last Thursday! Couldn't help it, my heart was pounding I was so excited to tell her! Felt pretty guilty afterwards, because Mister and I said we weren't going to say anything to close friends until after the ultrasound. I felt bad and apologized to Mister. This is his time to announce too..and we should always do it together!  I had a crappy day at work today, and I have someone there who really wants me gone. What I said to Lorna and Nina today was 'I've been thru worse. The most important thing is this little one, and I can survive anything else.' I have to have faith in the universe that we've been blessed to this point and we hope for guidance through the next while. 


Please God help our little Cupcake to stay with us, be strong, be healthy. Please guide us.

Your Pregnancy: Week 7

Gotta pee...again? There's a triple whammy at work here. HCG (pregnancy hormone) increases blood (and urine) flow, your more-efficient kidneys rid waste quicker since you're now peeing for two, and that growing uterus is pressed right down on your bladder.

Baby's now the size of a blueberry!
Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about one hundred new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.
