Hard to believe that in a few short minutes we will be 9 weeks. Time flies! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was in our condo in Florida, at 3 weeks and some odd days pregnant, feeling cramps and fearing that my period would come and this was all too good to be true. I have officially missed two periods now, and that makes me feel VERY good!
Week 7 - Baby is a Blueberry
This week went well. Minimal nausea, no vomiting, didn't sleep AS much as I probably could have. When I am standing up, and I mash over my baby-area, I feel like I can sorta palpate my bump starting to stick out (more like I can feel the "grapefruit-sized uterus" in there --- somewhere). Still no visible pregnant anything yet, aside from my huge boobs. All of my clothes still fit the same, and I have actually lost 3lbs since we got pregnant.
Week 8 - Baby is a Raspberry
Well, the first day of this week was AWESOME because we had our OB appointment with our perfect ultrasound. I took this entire week off of work, just because. I am still on the night shift schedule (mostly because my husband is), but instead of getting to sleep after 7am, I have been turning in around 4am, but STILL SLEEPING UNTIL 4 OR 5 IN THE EVENING WITH MY HUSBAND. This is awful. I feel like I can't get anything done. Aside from the fact that I completely sleep through business hours, when I finally do get up, I have zero motivation to look decent and then I don't want to go anywhere. The liveliest I got this week was showered and dressed, but makeup was not happening. I went out with my girlfriends on Saturday night (they have a 9 month DD---lucky gals), and I was practically falling asleep from the very beginning of our night.
The day after our appointment, we tore out all of our disgusting carpet in our living room, hallway, and the baby's room. We put down dark wood laminate and we love it. It smells better, it looks amazing, and is so much healthier for us and the baby. We cleared out what was once our office and re-arranged a ton of furniture to put away all the displaced office stuff (poor Jeremiah has the world's most cramped up game room). Our nursery is now ready to be polished up and filled with stuff! I have that room painted a teal color right now, and I kind of love it for either gender baby, and I am thinking of doing light green accents and bedding. Here is how the room is looking since the floor demo:

The picture makes the walls look blue or grey but, I swear, it's a really pretty teal. I have to take down the shelves and pictures I have on the walls now (none of it is baby style, not at all), and I have some major painting to do on all the trim and windowsill and around the ceiling because I must have been drinking wine when I painted this room.
Onto Week 9! Baby is a green olive but no martinis for this mama :)
