Pregnancy - 8 week update

How far along?  8 weeks

How big is baby?  The size of a raspberry or kidney bean apparently.

Total weight gain/loss?  I'm exactly where I was last week, 57.2kg.  I've been struggling with nausea this week and found meals hard to eat so I'm glad I've managed not to lose anything.

Waist?  Not measured this week.

Stretchmarks?  Only the ones that have been there for years.

Maternity clothes?  Not for a while yet.

Sleep?  I've been sleeping quite well and having some really weird dreams - nothing baby related and no nightmares, just everything in my dreams is really vivid and mixed up.

Best moment this week?  Realising that with my new working hours I am never more than 2 days away from a lie-in!

Movement?  Nothing yet, way too early.

Food cravings?  Nothing in particular - I mostly just want savoury food.  If I particularly fancy anything it's either carbs or unhealthy stuff (chicken nuggets, sausage rolls, crisps).  I'm trying to balance eating what I fancy with eating healthy foods but when I'm really nauseous, sometimes I've just had to give it and settle for what I fancy, even if it's Pringles, because they're the only thing that don't make me wretch.

Food aversions?  I've completely gone off pomegranate juice, can't stomach it at all despite the fact that I've been drinking it every day since before transfer.

Gender?   No idea and I don't think we're going to find out.  I keep accidentally calling it a "she" at the moment and I don't really know why.

Labour signs?  Definitely not.

Pregnancy symptoms?  Morning sickness is in full swing,  I'm tired, my joints are achy and clicking a lot and I'm absolutely reveling in it all!

Belly button in or out?  In.

What I miss?  Going to bed with ALS.  By the time he gets home from work in an evening I'm pretty much ready for bed (especially as I have earlier mornings now) and he's not ready for bed because he needs to wind down so I end up going before him.  It's not something either of us like particularly but I can't expect him to be in bed at 9pm - he does always give me a cuddle when he gets in bed though.

What I am looking forward to?  Having a weekend to ourselves - we've had a few really busy weekends lately and, although it's been nice seeing friends and such, it'll be nice to have some time to chill out and get stuff sorted around the house.

Upcoming appointments/scans?  Scan on 28th March and midwife on 29th March.

Weekly wisdom?  Try not to let your stomach get empty.  I've had some pretty horrendous morning sickness but the only time it's got really bad is when I haven't eaten for a good few hours and my stomach is empty.  Eating little and often (whatever I can stomach) has been really helping and made the nausea bearable rather than overwhelming.

Milestones?  Finally having proper pregnancy symptoms!  It's also a whole 4 weeks since I found out I was pregnant.

Bump picture:

I have such a prominent indentation in my stomach when my ribs end, always have done.  It looks so odd on photos.  I may be getting the teeniest bump, but nothing particularly noticeable.
