How far along?  8 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss:  ZERO but I was asked today if I was starting to get a pudge…ummm no that was all the sausage cheese crescents and bacon wrapped water chestnuts that I ate last night at the superbowl party.
Maternity clothes?  No.
Stretch marks?  No, still getting a good rub down.
Sleep:  I have been having very vivid dreams. I have always been a very vivid dreamer, but these dreams have been crazy real. The weird part about it is who exactly are making star appearances in my dreams.
Best moment this week:  Getting my tax return. I was like pay some bills then put the rest back for baby B’s nursery. I see a shopping spree in my near future.
Have you told family and friends:  Yes, and it is starting to trickle down to others. I was approached by two people just today who wanted to know if the little “rumors” were true.
Miss Anything?  Strangely enough, I thought last night at the Superbowl party, I might miss my liquid indulgences. However, I was just as happy with mu mocktail punch.
Movement:  No
Food cravings: I just want what I see. One minute it is something, another minute it is something completely different. The only good part about my cravings is that I have yet to fulfill them. I was craving this fro yo that I had in Las Vegas last March when my husband and I got married. I am not big on ice cream, or fro yo for that matter, but you could get a cup (you choose what size you wanted) and then you filled the cup yourself. So we had a little of every flavor and topping. I craved that, and meatballs (I just know that that specific craving was a derivative of the baby shower for work (not me another girl is PG) because they had those there and I ate like four. Yum. By the way, I am not craving meatballs and fro yo together.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Sometimes. But I never really quite know what it is that is making me feel a little icky. Most of the time it is a smell. For example, today a little fragrance plug in made me not feel so good in computer lab. It was just sooooo STRONG.
Have you started to show yet:  No, and I DO NOT HAVE A PUDGE!
Gender prediction:  Still sticking with a girl-hopefully the Chinese chart holds true.
Labor Signs:  No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy, but I find that my patience, especially at school and especially with a group of young mean that my patience is wearing thin, very thin.
Weekly Wisdom:  Take people’s advice with a grain of salt. Not everyone’s pregnancy is the same. Like in everyday life, I need to do me and let other’s do themselves.
Looking forward to: Winter Break. It is 4 days that I get to relax and rest and maybe nest a little. I am also looking forward to going out to dinner with my friends and husband for Valentine’s Day and his birthday to a Brazilian steakhouse that has the best cheesecake. (sidenote: I told him that I had to share the cheesecake with him last time, this time I am already sharing so I get my own…lol not really, those pieces are huge, and I definitely couldn’t eat it by myself.
