The Weekly Run-Down: 8

How Far Along: I'm halfway through my 8th week of pregnancy - the start of month three. :)

Size of baby: Baby is growing into a raspberry. Apparently it'll grow by 1mm per day this week - crazy, eh?

Random & Interesting Developmental Stuff:  Here's this week's run-down:

Your baby's growth spurt continues: In the last two weeks he has quadrupled in size. As he gets bigger, his delicate facial features are becoming more refined, with his ears, upper lip, and the teeny tip of his nose all clearly visible. His eyelids will also take shape for the first time this week and his heart is growing stronger by the day.

Total Weight Gain: Starting to gain back some of the lost weight - dodgy scales, ahoy!

Sleep: I'm doing a little better. I still find myself going to sleep a lot earlier, but I wake constantly, so I'm not fully rested when I wake up in the morning. I think I need to give one of those long pregnancy pillows a go.

Symptoms: Back aching, cramping (quite sharp sometimes) and tiredness.

Cravings: Chai lattes, made on milk of course. They are my weakness. Baby likes dairy products.

Gender: In the face of all the BOY vibes, I took cheesy gender quizzes & the results said GIRL. Very scientific! :)

Movement: Way too early yet.

Maternity Clothes: Nothing yet, but I have been wearing more of my elastic waist skirts lately...

Milestones: Getting to 8 weeks. Yay! :)

What I'm looking forward to: The weekend - I want to sleep some more. zzzzzzzzzz.

The belly: I'm going to try and embrace the plus sized pooch, so here goes...
