The Story of Our Life: 8 Weeks

We're now in week 8 and we have {finally} been able to start sharing our exciting news...we're expecting our first Little Love May 15, 2014!!! To say that we are excited would be a huge understatement! We feel blessed, honored, and a little bit terrified that God chose us to be the parents of His little miracle.

Although my weeks technically start on Thursdays, I've been taking pictures on Monday mornings to document our growth progress. My goal is to post each Monday my weekly picture along with thebump.com's explanation of what baby is doing this week and any other fun facts. And I'm putting this on the blog so you can come to the site as often as you choose rather than being bombarded with emails or posts from me.

your baby's the size of a raspberry!

Now she weighs in (yay!) at about .04 ounces and measures about .63 inches. This week, she's growing about a milimeter each day.

your baby at 8 weeks

You can't feel it yet, but she's moving those arms and legs like crazy!
Her fingers and toes are now only slightly webbed, and her tail (yes, she had one) is gone.
Fun fact: your baby's taste buds are now forming.

Weight Gain: 1 lb (Although if you asked me this time last week it would've been 3.5!! I must've been really bloated last week.)

Most exciting moment this week: first sonogram - got pictures of our Little Love and saw the little heart beating! If I can figure out how to post the little video clip, I will.

How do I feel: Sleepy & hungry which isn't entirely unusual for me. Other than that, perfectly normal!
