Hi, my Frijolito, this post is for you.
Maybe I should call you my little raspberry, that's about the size of you right now. I want you to know how much happiness, hope, excitement, and curiosity you have brought into my life in your short eight weeks of existence. I want you to know that already, you are so incredibly loved by the handful of people who know of you. I want you know how excited I am for these next four weeks to fly by so that I can announce this new life to the rest of the world. It isn't that I am not confident in you. I know you have already beat so many odds by just being around, no help needed. I just want to give you the proper amount of time to grow stronger and healthier inside my little belly before I start having to answer questions and comments about you.
I still find it hard to believe you are here. Growing more and more each day. If it wasn't for your daily reminders via my nausea monster, I may forget altogether of the precautions I have to take from now on. You are worth every second of the fatigue I'm feeling.
I got to see you again yesterday. This time, I saw your little heartbeat. You've grown so much already in the short two weeks since I last saw you - going from a mere 4mm to a whole 17mm. I can see the little spots where your beautiful big eyes will be (because you're definitely getting my eyes!). I love you to the moon and back a gazillion times. I'm excited to watch you grow. You are my entire world - you will never fully understand just how much you are wanted. Keep pushing through. Keep being my little miracle.
Due Date: last week of May 2013
How far along? 8w1d + or - 5 days, per the ultrasound
Symptoms: nausea, super sore boobs, insomnia, exhaustion, ridiculous thirst, cramps
This week, Baby is the size of: a raspberry (17mm)
Total weight gain: I lost 5 lbs
Gender: unknown
Food cravings: carne en su jugo.. anything my mom cooks... chilaquiles.. anything I cook. I just really don't want to cook.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Pork. I can't stand the taste. All I taste is grease. YUCK! Eggs.
Maternity clothes? nope
Sleep: sickness keeps interrupting my sleeping pattern, and sometimes I'll wake up at 4AM and just lay there.
Movement: not yet.
Stretch marks? nothing new
Wedding rings on or off? on
Swelling? Nope
Belly Button in or out? in
Labor Signs: definitely not.
Happy or Moody most of the time: moody out of frustration more than anything.
Best moment this week: Finding out that my little one grew! And getting to see the heart beat for the very first time. Amazeballs.
What I miss: not what, but who. My parents!
Looking forward to: Telling LAW's side of the family. Twelve week mark
