Eight Weeks.

“You may be consumed with fatigue” says the experts.

That made me laugh. Three hour naps are a daily routine for me and I really can NOT wait to get past this part. There is nothing like pregnancy tired. It kicks your butt.

This was an actual conversation in my house last week.

“How was your day?” says husband.

“Fine. I got a lot done today. I pushed in the chairs around the table and put the wash in the drier” says me. (No joke intended.)

The baby is the size of a Lima Bean. While everything continues to grow and develop, the big news this week is eyelids are coming soon and the baby has distinct elbows.

Just three more weeks until my first doctor apt. That can not come soon enough. Despite the fact that I have a list of symptoms, in my boredom I took the extra pregnancy test that was left in the box (I am still pregnant), I have the fourth baby belly to show for this…there is nothing like a person in a white coat telling you your pregnant, showing you an ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat. It just confirms everything is on track.

For now, I am going to take another nap!

    Thanks for stopping by. Congrats on your pregnancy and I am following you back. We are starting a sort of homeschool adventure next year so it should be interesting to see how that goes.

    I remember falling asleep homeschooling my new readers. Teaching phonics and being pregnant is hard. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

    I used take the extra pregnancy tests too. I bought a box of 4 when I was pregnant with Elijah and every so often, I would take a test. I guess just to make sure everything was ok…I think I took the last one at like, 30 weeks, lol.

    Congrats on your pregnancy (this is my first time on your site). Those first months are the worst! I have a 7 week old though and between him and my 3 year old, I’m not getting much sleep either!
