Week 8

Eating a bunch of little snacks throughout the day has really helped the nausea. I tried to track down something called Preggie Pops but my now routine nap after work took priority over running all over town searching for something I don't even know is worth it. I can tough it out.

Here's what baby Lingle is up to courtesy of WebMd...

Your embryo, now about in its sixth week of development, is about the size of a grape -- 0.56 to 0.8 inches from crown to rump. Eyelid folds and ears are forming and even the tip of the nose is visible. The arms have grown longer and bend at the elbows. Places where fingers and toes eventually will grow are becoming notched.

In addition to being very very tired, here's what's happening with me.

Your uterus, once the size of your fist, is now about the size of a grapefruit. You may feel some cramping or pain in your lower abdomen or sides, but that's because your uterus typically tightens or contracts throughout pregnancy.
