8 weeks {Baby #2}

Today, we had our first (much anticipated) pregnancy appointment. I found out I was pregnant on my first missed period a little over four weeks ago so it has been a LONG wait to see our little baby and hear his/her sweet heartbeat. Unfortunately, Dr. Luethcke who delivered Rylee is not delivering babies anymore after this year so I went to a refereed doctor she recommended. Dr. Sutaria, is who we met with today and we were pleasantly surprised at how much we liked her (thank goodness)! We had a wonderful appointment that consisted of a urine test, blood work, an exam, and ultrasound. I was overwhelmed with emotions once I finally saw our sweet little baby on the screen and heard it's precious heartbeat. Best Sound Ever! Relieved that our first appointment went so well and so excited about this pregnancy! Baby Sosbe round 2 in the making :)

Here is our baby on the ultrasound and it's heartbeat<3

How far along? 8 wks 2 days
Heart rate: 167 BPM
Size of the baby: Our baby is the size of a raspberry. About .63 in long and about .04 oz.
Maternity clothes? None
Weight Gain: None yet but I definitely feel like I fluctuate after eating! Starting weight: 120 lbs (according to my scale and 130 lbs according to the doctor's scale)
Stretch marks? None
Sleep: I have been sleeping fine during this first trimester, but I am already waking up 3-4 times a night to go to the bathroom! I also have been sooo EXHAUSTED during the day and literally have taken a nap everyday. I do NOT remember being this tired during the first trimester with Rylee.
Best moment this week: Going to our very first pregnancy appointment to see our baby and hear his/her heartbeat :)
Worst moment of the week:
Miss Anything? Drinking Dr. Pepper more often and having more energy
Movement: No
Food cravings: Mexican food and sweets
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specifically but this pregnancy I have had a lot of stomach cramping, loss of appetite (but I easily get that back later on), and stomach hurting but not sickness. *Never had these feelings with Rylee.
Have you started to show yet: Not really...but I think I have a little pooch beginning to form. Second pregnancy I feel like you show a lot sooner!!
Gender: Not sure but my guess is a boy!
Labor Signs: No
Pregnancy Symptoms: EXHAUSTED (I take a nap everyday), larger breasts (already!), cramping/stomach hurting at times,
Belly Button in or out? Still in
How are you feeling? Blessed and so happy to be pregnant again! Love getting to expereice this with Rylee being the big sis!
Looking forward to: Finishing my first trimester and letting the secret out in four more weeks!!
